We’ve all heard the saying “…can’t see the forest for the trees.” It happens to all of us. Looking to completely redefine itself, yet smack dab in the middle of all these trees, Final Cut Studio’s Robert Ricker reached out to friend and colleague, James “Jimmy” Forbes of Vespir.com.

Vespir Design had great vision in presenting logo and website concepts that spoke to our mission: “Functional and engaging design with search engine optimization in mind.”

It was a fast, painless experience to work with Vespir and hope to partner with Jimmy on many more future projects.

After about two days of staging, slicing, coding, testing and tweaking, we can finally see the entire forest! Feel free to take a look around and, as always, don’t hesitate to contact Final Cut Studio for any of your organization’s web design needs.

Dallas based Final Cut Studio is pleased to welcome Canyon Creek Fitness to its portfolio of clients! Canyon Creek Fitness is a Dallas area Fitness Bootcamp for women specializing in overall health and well-being.

After a slow start with current web design efforts, Canyon Creek was referred to Final Cut Studio through a friend of the owner, Renada Diller. Renada was very interested in having the ability to modify her own content and have a blog and calendar for her clients.

Following a very productive meeting, Renada was excited to get started. Final Cut Studio is also looking forward to working with Canyon Creek Fitness with their web design needs.

Final Cut Studio is proud to announce the release of the new website for The Londoner in Addison, TX. As patrons and fans of The Londoner, great care was taken to ensure the essence of the pub was captured – as well as keep ease of maintenance in mind.

The new website, found at http://www.londoneraddison.com, is built on an installation of WordPress. This gives Londoner staff the ability to make frequent updates for event information with ease – and with no need for knowledge of HTML.

Just in time for World Cup, come by and check out their new site! And, as always, feel free to contact Final Cut Studio to see what we can do for you!

The Londoner Pub in Addison, Texas has selected Final Cut Studio to design their new site. After 12 years of being a valued customer and fan of ”The Pub”, we’re really excited to be able to contribute to their online presence!

Their current site is very limited and is difficult to update on a day-to-day basis by restaurant staff. Final Cut Studio will be employing WordPress so that once the new site is up, The Londoner will be able to manage their own site pages and event posts, including an online calendar to link to specific posts.

We’re eagerly underway with the design and implementation and look forward to going live with this within the next month! Please stay tuned for updates!

As always, if you’re looking for an online partner to build or redesign your website, contact Final Cut Studio today to see what we can do for you!

For Final Cut Studio, this was a very exciting project to take on! Creating a site where DJ Christian Zanni could edit his pages, blog posts, events and even music sets was no small effort, but the outcome was well worth it!

When asked how he felt about the new site, Zanni said “I really feel that the folks at Final Cut Studio truly took the time to embrace my vision and exceeded my expectations. They have a real creative understanding and this is one of the reasons why I chose to retain their services on this major undertaking. I look forward to the continued partnership with them.”

DJ Christian Zanni currently resides in Dallas where he holds multiple residencies. He is a seasoned musician/producer/DJ with a style that reflects the fluid sounds of progressive, deep, tech and electro house.

Take a look around www.DJZanni.com and check out some his music sets! Simply awesome!

Working with Rick Smith of Cre8tiv Werks Video Production in Concord, California was a true pleasure. Cre8tiv Werks had a website, but it left a lot to be desired in function and seachability. Rick came to Final Cut Studio for help.

We worked on a design and shared many ideas back and forth on imagery for the site. Once a concept was in place, the rest came together quickly. Changing hosting providers was part of the project as well due to the lack of response and service from their current provider. Cre8tiv Works now has a website that they can modify themselves as the need arises, post blog articles as well as post videos directly to their Portfolio page!

Feel free to stop by and see their new site and, as always, feel free to contact Final Cut Studio to see what we can do for you!

It’s evident by viewing their emails that they are not familiar with email best practices. If you look at the two screen shots below, you’ll see that what was intended (in the Online Version) is not what is experienced in the Inbox.

AMAs Online Version Email

AMAs Email as it Appears in Outlook

Notice how the Email is missing the background images? Savvy Email Marketers know that what renders in a browser does not always render in email and go through extensive testing across multiple email clients to ensure the best possible experience for all.

Needless to say, I found it very interesting that the American Marketing Association would let content like this out the door without reviewing it for issues like these. I found it even more interesting that they have webcasts on “Email Strategies to Maximize Your Marketing ROI”. Perhaps some brushing up on Best Practices would serve them better.

If you are looking for “Email Marketing Strategies” that actually work as designed, contact Final Cut Studio today to see what we can do for you!
