RECENT CLIENTS
Over The Sun, LLC: This young and innovative company needed a technical writer to help them develop and manage a pictogram-based vocabulary for iConji, their latest application. Designed as an alternative to SMS (simple text messaging), iConji allows cross-cultural communications via built-in translations. With over 1200 pictograms, each representing a commonly used word or concept, they needed someone who really knew the English language. This included everything from spelling to grammar, research on word use frequencies, proofreading, and general problem-solving. We also created their article on Wikipedia.
American College Testing, Inc: To date we have written 20 physics units for the Medical College Admission Test, and 3 physics units for the ACT. Each consists of an explanatory paragraph on an assigned topic, original graphics and data charts, and 10 multiple-choice questions based on the material presented.
Cole Publishing: To date we have over 25 articles, published in Municipal Sewer & Water Magazine, on wastewater systems and potable water delivery systems. Our experience in environmental science provides the necessary background for writing about this highly specialized industry, and the essential infrastructure it maintains.
Foothills Academy College Preparatory, Scottsdale, AZ: Foothills is one of the preeminent charter schools in Arizona. We provided consulting and design for their classroom multimedia systems, one-on-one instruction for faculty and administration, faculty workshops in the use of computers and multimedia, and assistance with website development.
Desert Foothills Astronomy Club: This new organization, started in March of 2006, needed to establish a presence on the internet for publicity and internal communications. We designed their website from scratch, including an innovative all-electronic newsletter. Officers and members of the club are pleased with the design details and availability of information. Their hit count, and membership roster, continue to grow.
Brophy College Preparatory, Phoenix, AZ: In 1997 this private, Jesuit high school embarked on an ambitious"5 year plan" to upgrade their entire campus, including electronic attendance and gradebooks, internet access, and classroom multimedia. We created a proprietary electronic gradebook system for their exclusive use, providing technical support and instruction. Their Physics Lab was chosen for a "showcase" multimedia system, and acted as a test platform for systems installed elsewhere on campus. We designed and assembled that system, including software selections for the course of study. The project received high marks from students, faculty, and administration.
Phoenix Astronomical Society, Phoenix, AZ: PAS, an organization of amateur astronomers, needed a "system on a cart" that could be securely stored at their host facility, and easily deployed for their monthly meetings. The Society was working on a limited budget, but they wanted a system that would not constrain their guest speakers' presentations (which were becoming increasingly multimedia oriented). We assembled that system, using both new and used components, under budget, and to their exact specifications. After years of struggle with borrowed overhead projectors, blown bulbs, and constant logistics headaches, they are now enjoying the benefits of an easy-to-use and reliable multimedia system. We also provided assistance with revisions to their website, which was badly in need of reorganization and optimization.
Educational Guidance Services, Phoenix, AZ: This company had a website that had been hobbled together by various sources. It needed a redesign and better organization. We incorporated new material, revised the page layout, designed a more user-friendly interface, and generally improved the transfer of information. The client was impressed with the efficiency and impact of his new website, and his clients enjoy improved access to information and services.
Songbird Woodworking, Loveland, CO: This small operation needed to expand its market. Starting from near-zero experience in multimedia, they are now using the power of this technology to extend their reach. We set up their home office, showed them how to use multimedia effectively, and created most of the graphic content needed to establish their presence on the web.
MossCorp, Laveen, AZ: As a successful company specializing in real estate investment, MossCorp needed a website to promote their publications. We designed and built their website, and provided training in the use of electronic data management systems. We continue our business relationship in the form of on-demand, phone-based technical support.
