Granite Legal was a great opportunity for us to turn an old and tired website into a state of the art site using the Joomla CMS. Granite Legal is a Houston-based company specializing in legal eDiscovery software solutions. Granite Legal has a fantastic opportunity to capitalize on their product but had a very poor web presence and brand identity. With the help of Flabbergast Design and Digital Reality, Granite Legal's website has gone from boring to pizazz. More than look and feel, we've included some fantastic technology including AJAX and Java to their site. The site is fully SEO compliant and capable of providing Granite Legal with a substantial array of expansion potential to grow their presence and marketing program online.
Whats so important about a web site? No matter how big or small your business, you cannot be found without advertising. The statistics don't lie, printed media is on its way out. The use of yellow pages is fading. Finding a service or company online is substantially easier than the printed yellow pages. How much do you pay annually for a yellow pages ad? What if you could have a site like this for less than a years payments to the yellow pages? Not only is it easier to use and easier to find but your reach opportunity is substantially greater. Imagine the reach potential a good website, you increase your opportunity to be seen and found by potential clients organically. How else can you spend so little in advertising dollars and yet have the potential for so many people to see your ad?
Aside from making friends and bartering and trading ideas and parts to build a plane, you can talk about all things aviation too, post pictures, video and more. The site has classified ads, a calendar of events, aviation weather, flying information and articles, and a lot more.
Hourlytrader is the brainchild of a start-up in Houston. Its sort of Craigslist.com with a lot of twists and improvements including the fact that its got web 2.0 technologies and its strictly focused on your local area. Its also a social medial platform. There is a lot of opportunity for tradesmen to post and advertise their services and offer them in their area.
Digital Reality has been helping this sites owner turn his vision into a reality by developing the proprietary code to make his site function properly. It contains a lot of components including elements of social media, a classifieds reverse auction engine and standard auction engine top post needs and a rating system. When complete, sometime in 2010, the Beta will launch formally and Craigslist will have competition! Visit Hourlytrader.com HERE.
MyFnTees is a sort of half-way classy, half-crass t-shirt company who's brand was dreamed up to allow semi-vulgar self expression. Its the closest foray to vulgarity that Digital Reality will dare get involved with but we actually enjoyed this job. MyFnTees has an in-your-face attitude without being over the top.
Digital Reality was tasked to develop a nice-looking beta site for MyFnTees and allow the company to start processing credit card orders. The site is still in Beta and is about to get a shirt configurator that allows you to overlay your own artwork on any shirt in the system. This is by far one of our most fun sites and is a continuous work in process. Visit MyFnTees HERE.

They specialize in commercial exterior glazing (glass facade buildings) but they also do a lot of store fronts in strip centers and other types of specialty glass.
Digital Reality was tasked ti not only build a website to get Nabors Glass online but to also deliver a best-in-class opportunity to get recognized around Houston and the state. They wanted to show off their work which apparently is very important to other contractors. Digital Reality developed a new website that gives the company a very clean and commercial feel and the ability to show their perspective clients their business longevity and capabilities. The site shows this well. Visit Nabors Glass HERE.
Digital Reality was tasked to develope a new website for MD Anderson Cancer Center. Riders For The Cure is an employee affinity group comprised of employees who love motorcycles. The group was formed after the passing of Dr. Hassenbusch. Dr. Hassenbusch was a prominent neurosurgeon who developed a Glioblastoma (a form of brain tumor). Dr. Hassenbusch loved motorcycles and the group rides to raise cancer awareness and remember Sam Hassenbusch.
Digital Reality realized that there was a need to convey hope and a future in the new site. RFTC wanted a new look and feel as well as new features to use to grow the organization, generate donations and drive awareness of cancer while supporting their hobby. The new site incorporates elements of social networking including the ability to discuss motorcycles and cancer topics, post pictures and even classified ads related to motorcycles. The site is loaded with features. Check it out HERE

Nsightforlifellc is a personality assessment and life-coach website. The client wanted a modern warm website to attract clients and engage them. Digital Reality chose the warm wood tones to make visitors feel invited to spend time on the site. The client also wanted a very extensive custom shopping cart system that allows clients to take a personality questionnaire based on the Birkman method. The system allows the clients to choose a product based on their needs and receive a custom report just for them.
The system also allows corporate teams to all take the same questionnaire and receive individual personality reports. The site required extensive PhP and SQL development to provide the interaction required to process payments, record the persons information so that they correct questionaire responses were used to generate their report. The site also includes Twitter feeds, a blog, RSS syndication and much more! Check out the site and get to know yourself HERE.
LCG Discovery is an e-discovery and forensics company that specializes in data forensics and culling for civil matters, corporate compliance, investigations and employee monitoring. LCG Discovery has an extensive client list and an impressive record of handling the data-mining and investigation of some very well known litigation.
Digital Reality was hired to develop a professional website for LCG Discovery. Among the needs cited was to get the company recognized online. First and foremost, their old site was completely flash-based. Most people don;t know it but Flash is NOT Search Engine Friendly and can actually hurt your ability to be found online. Digital Reality developed an entirely new website for LCG using the Joomla Content Management System, allowing LCG to self-manage their site and actually drive site traffic. SEO was a must as was a terrific looking site. Digital Reality delivered! Please check out the site HERE.
