While creating the new design, function and responsive InnoVision web site; we also developed our own code so that current blog post are streamed on the home page of the site and link directly to the relative blog post.

Martha Winebarger with Engage Solutions and Kathy Ham were invaluable with the creation of the InnoVision web site. Martha’s dedication to content and Kathy Ham’s eye for detail as made the site a real success. If you would like to visit the site simply visit www.innovisionawards.org

Mojoe.net and Liquid Video Technologies just completed LVTPrint which is our own software version of Cloud printing.  We developed our own cloud print software because we had been using Google Cloud print for our client NTHS. NTHS which stands for National Technical Honor Society is a association which has thousands of members. When new schools sign up or current schools adds new members they get anywhere from 10 to 500 new members.  This then requires them to print a roster, a member certificate for each new member and then a membership card. Each one of these are printed from different trays and different printers at there office in North Carolina.

So they where looking for a way to only have to click one button from their web site and have it print all of the internet orders with the Roster being printed and having the correct orientation, also to the correct tray,  the member certificate being printed to the correct paper type and tray, and then the member card being printed on special paper along with being printed to the correct tray.

We started by solving this issue by using Google Print which worked like a charm but in the last few months it has just stopped working with no rhyme or reason and as usual even though the product may be great you can never get anyone on the phone at Google for support.  Well, NTHS has come to rely on the one-click-printing feature that we developed in association with Google Cloud Print.

We had no choice we had to develop our own software so NTHS would not have to rely on Google Cloud Print so that this feature would continue to work. So we set down and wrote a windows based software app that allows their web application to communicate to their local server and as the orders come in our piece of software looks for new orders. Gets the orders, que’s them up and then prints the orders in the correct format and to the correct printer.

We are currently working on developing this for other companies as a stand alone product that can be used with any web application or web site that needs to print multiple/single documents from the web and still want the ability to do that from any internet connection.

If you would like more information about LVTPrint or would like a free consultation please do not hesitate to email us at info@mojoe.net or you can call us toll-free at 866-466-6563.

Here are 10 of the best logo tips and tricks that I have found make logo development a success.

1.) A logo should be memorable you can accomplish this by following some basic rules of design. Make sure that your logo looks good with and without color, it is easily identifiable, the logo needs to be able to scale from one size to another, be mindful of white space and placement of objects within the logo. Make sure your logo is designed in vector program; such as, Abobe Illustrator.

2.) Research the audience that will be viewing the logo. Find out what/who the audience is and be sure to get as much information about the audience as you can.

3.) Don’t be afraid to check-out your competition or look at other logos to get ideas. Here is a list of some great logo sites so you can get ideas and inspiration:

• Logo of the Day
• Logo Pond
• Logo Faves

You can also check out our blog post on Logo Resources.

4.) Make sure to create several variations of the design so you can see  the possibilities.

5.) Make sure you think about the color that will be used for the logo. Colors can be warm and inviting, they can invoke psychological responses.

6.) Don’t be afraid to only have the name of your company be your logo. Again, remember less can be MORE. Use of the correct font, spacing, and style can make a logo simple but powerful. Here some great examples below:

7.) Be sure not to over complicate your logo with extraneous information, make sure the logo can stand on its own with or without your slogan. The logo should impart your brand whether the slogan is there  or not.

8.) Make sure your logo is timeless. Don’t use fonts or imagery that is only relative in today’s culture be sure to think about your logo for the future. Don’t follow current trends.

9.) Once your logo is created share it with your friends, colleges and business associates. Get their feedback on the logo. Find out what makes the logo memorable?, and if not ask them what does not make it memorable? Ask questions.

10.) This is very important! Especially for the non-graphic artist probably the most important. Don’t use photos for your logo. Photos are not vector based files, Photos also don’t scale, have no branding value and are hard to adapt for any use.

Iced for You a new WordPress web site that we developed. What is Iced for You? Well, it provides customers high quality gourmet cupcake products made with love and the best ingredients, with customization options only limited by the imagination.

The Mission
Design a WordPress CMS site for Iced for You. Make the site a custom one-of-a-kind WordPress CMS design that complemented the logo, colors, and captured the creations of Iced for You. Make sure that the site could be maintained by the owner and proprietor Courtney Tessler.

The Goal
Our goal was to develop a web site that was not only easily maintainable by the owner and staff. Another goal of Mojoe.net‘s was to make sure that the design of the site represented the gourmet cake creations so the visiting customers would leave the site wanting a delicious tasting cupcake.  This being a WordPress web site we not only had to set this site up but configure it as well.

The Work and Why We’re Proud of It
We are extremely proud of this web site and hungry after looking at it. We wanted a site that really showed off the cupcakes and with the photography that we provided and our design. We believe that we have accomplished the main goal of our customer to make her one-of-a-kind creations stand out on the site. The site has been being maintained by Courtney and she rarely if ever calls upon us to help her with the site.

We recently completed the National Technical Honor Society new web site. We added not only a fully functional CMS in Drupal but we also created a one-of-a-kind membership management system that allows the NTHS team to administrate the entire membership of NTHS. They can also manage all of their online orders, applications, invoices, alumni, reports, and directory. This is all custom built into a Drupal CMS.

The Mission
National Technical Honor Society is one of our Drupal CMS sites that we have not only setup and maintained the Drupal installation but we have customized the entire back-end of the site to manage NTHS’s association membership system. They wanted a provider who could not only develop a standard CMS but who could also customize their web application to meet their growing needs.

The Goal
Our goal was to create a site that was not only functional from a user perspective but also functional from an advisor and admin perspective as well. The site had to be flexible and have the ability to grow with the needs of NTHS.

The Work and Why We’re Proud of It
We’re proud of this site because we were able to develop a site that was customized to particular functions that were required by NTHS to be able to speed up its production while servicing their members and advisor. We developed one very special function that allows NTHS to click one button from the back-end and print all of their order. Does not sound like a lot but when you calculate the number of pieces of paper that they ship out it is quite massive.
