Bullzeye helps the Make a Wish foundation!

Posted by Amy at 3:20 pm

Recently, Bullzeye Design has been asked to help the local chapter of the Make a Wish foundation create some event invitations for their “Wish in the City” Event being held on August 3, 2012 at Mohegan Sun.  We enthusiastically agreed to help this great cause!!

Our local Make-A-Wish Chapter grants approximately 70 wishes a year for local children who are living with life threatening illnesses. It is their belief that the magic of the wish process allows them experience life with hope, strength and joy!  While they have an in-house art department that can assist when needed, the committee feels it’s necessary to bring in a new and fresh point of view for this very special event.   That’s where Bullzeye Design comes in. It is our intention to make this Wish in the City stand apart from many of the areas other fundraisers.

Please stay tuned to see these fabulous invitations. You can learn more about our local Make a Wish foundation at www.wishgreaterpa.org.

Bullzeye participates in CreateAthon 2011

Posted by Amy at 8:59 am

Northeastern Pennsylvania non-profit organizations will be the beneficiaries of free marketing and creative services provided by a growing team of creative services volunteers in the 10th annual NEPA CreateAthon, held on October 27. Bullzeye Design will be participating this year, working on website redesign project for the Alice C. Wiltsie Performing Arts Center (wiltsiecenter.org) in Hazleton, PA.

CreateAthon is a 24-hour, work-around the clock creative blitz during which marketing, advertising and public relations firms provide nonprofit marketing services on a pro bono basis. Since the program’s creation by Riggs Partners in 1998, 73 agencies have participated in the CreateAthon network, holding CreateAthon events in their respective markets. It’s an effort that has impacted more than 1,100 non-profit organizations, delivering 2,500 projects valued at more than $11 million.

Just as importantly, CreateAthon has impacted the lives of creative professionals far and wide. Just ask anyone who has lost a night’s sleep to CreateAthon. They’ll tell you they’ve gained much more than what they lost in 8 hours.

Stay tuned for updates on the redesign, and visit nepacat.org for more information on how to support this cause.

Fairview Monument Website with CMS Goes Live

Posted by Amy at 11:18 am

Bullzeye Design has just completed the design and programming of Fairview Monument; our first WordPress Blog Website Design.

Fairview Monument covers on the average about 40 square miles, serving many families and different cemeteries in Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Luzerne Counties. They also deliver their monuments and memorials anywhere within a 100 mile radius of their location.

Their new website uses WordPress as a content management system, allowing the capability to log in to an administrative panel online and gives them the ability to edit text, sections, and add photos and new items to their website through a very easy to use editor – no HTML or programming experience required.

I’ve worked extensively with my programming team and Mark Berger, owner of Fairview Monument, to develop this completely custom website that showcases the beauty of their product while allowing the flexibility and convenience of being able to update the website regularly without having to learn the logistics of website design.

It’s been a pleasure to work with Mark and the entire Bullzeye Design team on this project and has allowed everyone involved to gain more knowledge about content management systems on the WordPress platform and now offers Bullzeye Design the ability to extend this service to our future customers.
