A New Vehicle for Stonehouse Media
Okay folks, this post is a bit of a pitch for our biz, but sometimes you just have to talk about yourself and your people. I hope you don’t mind a couple graphs of pump about SHM. I loved our website and it served us and our people well. This post is about our old site and our excitement about the new. Thanks for allowing me a bit of time to pitch. Rod
In “Internet time,” Stonehouse Media’s last website was long-lasting. It stood out like a classic car. Bold, dark and a bit mysterious, with some of the latest in technology. Clients and industry peers often called us about the design or to ask how we made certain features work. Could we do something similar for them? Way ahead of its time when it came “off the line” and still ahead as it went off-line.
The SHM site’s “fit and finish” was perfect. When you looked into the monitor you could see yourself. The site was dark, with smoked windows, yet unfortunately, while our clients and prospects said it was cool, it was a hard to see inside and they struggled to develop a clear image of Stonehouse Media’s capabilities. They could not really tell what we were doing. I would go into meetings and people would say, “We love your website, but what do you do?”
We put our website into our digital museum last week. It’s still perfect, no rust, the menus still roll out like they are freshly oiled, but it now rests with many of its digital friends from the turn of the century. Our website stood strong on the digital highway and helped us and our clients generate an abundance of business. Even so, she often waited for updates while we were busy with projects.
Each time we would finish another video project or site design, we would painstakingly select the perfect image, suffer over what to write and then work to find an appropriate place to post the new content. Many times, dealing with the rapid changes in technology, business and positioning were not easy. The pain and suffering is now over!
We have now built a new vehicle for ourselves! With the Stonehouse Media content management system and designs, we have been helping our clients’ websites and video networks come to life for years. While our site designs will continue to be classics, we have a whole lot more power under the hood. We have taken our CMS and integrated it with our mobile site, SEO, Blog and Social Networks. Just as in the past when we launched our site, we hope to create conversation and stimulate new ideas with this one.
