The latest project coming out of our studio is one for Author Robert King. Robert has tasked himself with the responsibility of creating a dialogue with poetry writers and scholars about how contemporary poetry has lost its way.  Through the thoughts and words of poetry great Jose Garcia Villa, Robert sets out to set the story straight.

While this is a simple website in that it has a minimalistic appearance, dont be fooled by the punch it packs in terms of message. Bob brings readers of his blog on a journey though time, outlining where poetry has taken a strange turn away from its roots. 

Each year MetroCreate partners with Boston area nonprofit organizations to help them gain exposure for their cause with free and affordable marketing services. 2012 has been a special year in that we have had the pleasure of partnering with not just one organization, but two. 

The Vincita Institute is a Boston based financial advisement organization that helps individuals and companies alike better understand the ins and outs of all the financial situations. 

From their new about page: "Formed in 2004, The Vincita Institute is a non profit 501(3)(c) organization that provides comprehensive financial education with complete objectivity - absent of any conflicts of interest by the firm, its principals, or its instructors.

Congratulations to the team at Vincita.

This week the MetroCreate team launched another author micro website. I have had the extreme pleasure of working closely with Literary Agent Carolyn Jenks to offer her clients small website to start their online presence.

Congratulations to Compass Education located in West Roxbury Massachusetts for launching their completely re-established branding yesterday. MetroCreate worked closely with Compass Education founder and operator to not only rebuild her company website to be more professional and functional, but we also put together a new logo for the brand as well.

This project has a tremendous amount of custom user access architecture in that all the tutors and parents are able to login to the website and view their own individual calendar of events and messages particular to them. The new Compass website sits on a Content Management System that will allow the Compass team to maintain the website on their own going forward.

From the Compass Education About page:

"Compass Education provides one-on-one and small group tutoring services in your home, school, or local library. Compass Tutors are teachers in training and certified Massachusetts teachers, many of whom also hold Master’s degrees in Education. Compass Tutors work with students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities."

I am excited to announce that today MetroCreate launched a new website for Boston author Edward J. Santella! Congratulations Ed!

From Ed's about page:

"Ed Santella lives in the Boston, Massachusetts area with his wife, Karen, and two feline life forms. Ed and Karen have two adult sons, two daughters-in-law, and a grandson. He remains addicted, despite treatment, to reading, writing, photography and the Boston Red Sox."

Ed's needs for a website really made him a great candidate for MetroCreate's micro website offering, in that he needed only a small website with 6 pages. Mico websites are great options for those on a budget or those that dont have the need for a large website. Perhaps the greatest aspect of a mico website is that it sets a great foundation for you to then build on as your companies needs increase.To lean more about how MetroCreate can get you going with a small, medium or large website-contact today!

Be sure to stop by Ed's website and consider buying his new book!

Massachusetts native, and author,  Kevin Carey is now online! Congratulations goes out to Kevin who today launches his first website- the first step in many for creating a larger internet prescience for himself. In the coming weeks I will be working with Kevin to build a blogging component onto this site.

Kevin's needs for a website really made him a great candidate for MetroCreate's micro website offering, in that he needed only a small website with 3 pages.

We are excited to announce the launching of our latest web project. Over Our Heads is a company founded by Lauren Briere, a Massachusetts native. The company is wonderfully unique in that Lauren paints and decorates the under side of umbrellas, for the user to find enjoyment from. 

The website features professional photography of Brian Furbush. In order to allow the photography to communicate the usefulness and beauty of the umbrellas, it was decided that going with a very large slideshow on the homepage is the best way to accomplish this. Big bold photos are found throughout the website.

Over Our Heads is now taking preorders for two of their popular designs, which you can learn more about here.

Be sure to catch Over Our Heads article in the February edition of Oprah Magazine.

Crystal Image Design Group contracted MetroCreate Studios to work in partnership with them for completely re-doing the American version of Teshima International's website. Based in Japan, Teshima has an office in Cambridge, MA where we met with the project manager many times for website training, and consultation. 

MetroCreate also worked side by side with Crystal Image Design Group out of Cambridge, MA. Crystal Image Design Group managed this project from start to finish and interfaced with the client on our behalf (aside from the training aspects of the job).
