Burgerville

The Northwest’s burger-of-choice restaurant chain Burgerville (www.burgerville.com) partnered with Shepherd Interactive to completely redesign and rebuild their website. Both server-side and client-side programming techniques were employed to maximize the user experience. On the server-side, we incorporated technologies such as Microsoft .NET and Microsoft SQL Server to provide a powerful framework for the entire Burgerville website. Client-side technologies include Flash and JavaScript, which enhance the user experience with fluid animations and page transitions.

The content for the entire website is housed and maintained within the Ektron CMS. This provides a convenient way for one or more content authors to collaborate and manage content on the website.

E-Tech Recycling

When it comes to keeping high-tech junk out of landfills, forward-thinking companies focus on reusing, redeploying, remarketing, and recycling. E-Tech Recycling is a Northwest company that is leading this sector.

Shepherd Interactive migrated E-Tech’s existing website to Continue.NET, an accessible open source platform that is standards compliant and supports CSS3. Along with the new platform, existing site content was optimized for maximum search engine visibility. To facilitate easy site maintenance, Shepherd Interactive also provided training to help E-Tech staff learn how to write new content that would be search engine friendly.

The Shepherd Interactive Difference

Flexible and technically advanced, our creative teams are adept at aligning the right technology mix with your business objectives. And we make it easy for you to understand the pros and cons of each technical decision. For example, while some websites require only a few simple pages of marketing materials, others require content management or complex e-commerce systems.
