Terra Verde

The debut Terra Verde was an exciting event, and this reinitialization of the company’s online presence reflected that. From the start, the site was built to be not only informative but energetic as well.

Terra Verde is a marketing and communications company with specialists in areas as diverse as branding, copywriting, public relations, photography, graphics, and web development and with the overall goal to teach clients how to successfully market their businesses. With a unique and agile model, Terra Verde provides the same marketing expertise and service as large firms, but without the struggles of overhead – no rent, no salaries, no expensive equipment. It’s a team of marketing and advertising specialists who operate their own freelance businesses or are also employed at traditional day jobs. As a testament to the success of the ambitious company, the US Commerce Association honored Terra Verde with the 2009 Best of Dayton Award in the Business Consulting category.

As a proud member of the Terra Verde team, Soaring Whale designed and developed terraverdemarketing.com with several goals in mind – not only being informative and energetic, but also reflecting the expertise of the company. A portfolio preview carousel on the home page showcases successful projects, immediately and proudly sharing them with website visitors. A blog and content management system with several administrative accounts allows multiple team members to contribute to the content of the site, enriching it with the diverse experience of the team.

Deer Run

Make the most of a website by using it as an internal communication tool as well as a marketing piece to show off to the world. The Deer Run community wanted a website that both spread the word about the neighborhood and communicated with current residents about the news and policies of the community.

Deer Run is an active condominium community with beautiful landscaping, a large clubhouse with a kitchen and fireplace, swimming pool, tennis courts, and landscaping services. Its 46 acres include three ponds, walking paths, and beautiful trees and flowers.

The Deer Run website project included a custom graphic design, a content management architecture, and a manageable calendar feature. Sections like About Us address the goal of showing the value and features of the community A scenic slideshow gallery on the home page also exhibits the relaxed lifestyle of Deer Run.

Being built on a content management system allows the Deer Run Board to regularly update information on the website without the complexity of editing html code and ftping files. The calendar feature also allows board members to add events that are previewed on the home page and displayed in a traditional calendar view within a calendar page, providing valuable information for Deer Run residents. A password protected Minutes page keeps the business of the community private while still sharing it with the residents wishing to be involved and to keep up to date.
