The main objective for the building the new Body Basics web site last year was to better showcase their residential fitness equipment. Because more consumers turn to the internet to do their research before making a large purchase, Body Basics wanted the web site visitor to easily navigate between types of home fitness equipment, into the brands of equipment and go where there was plenty of helpful information about each product model. Vamonos Marketing built the web site on Drupal Content Management System for the ability to store all the product data and then sort by type, brand and model. We utilized CCK, Views and Taxonomy modules to capture and present product information, and to allow a user to navigate to the desired products.   We ended up with a very robust collection and display of all the Body Basics home fitness equipment–presented very much like a shopping cart without the “Buy Now” button.       Click image to visit web site

At that time, another very important part of their business–Commercial sales–received a mere one page of text listing types of commercial fitness brands available at Body Basics. This summer we received a directive from the client to turn that page into an interesting and informative Commercial section. One of the key differences in commercial fitness sales is that it is not as brand or model-driven as  residential sales. These shoppers don’t spend a lot of time looking up specs on all the specific pieces of equipment.    Instead, the “commercial” customer is typically an owner or manager wanting to install a fitness center in an apartment complex, a hotel  or in their business for employees.   They may be a physical therapy center, a professional fitness trainer or a fitness club. What matters most to all of them is getting the right mix of fitness equipment for their customers within their budget.   So this section of the web site was more of an opportunity to showcase the experience Body Basics has in helping all these types of customers.   We used photo galleries and some light text to relate to each type of client. We utilized the same basic flow and structure as the residential pages to display categories of commercial equipment and the brands within those categories.   But instead of drilling into specific product pages of information, this was one of a few advantageous times to link the visitor to the manufacturer’s web site if they chose to learn more of what’s available.      Click image to visit Commercial section of web site The revamped commercial section is structured and written to appeal to that unique “commercial” customer–to build trust and credibility that Body Basics can very satisfactorily handle any kind or size commercial fitness project. Vamonos Marketing supplied photos and wrote most of the text for the new Commercial section with some content provided by Catena Creations.   Justin Wolta with Momma’s Boy Design provided graphics.  Programming for the Commercial pages was completed by Boombatower Development who has been with us from the very beginning building this new Body Basics web site.

After a good half-a-year in the planning, making, inputting and fine tuning, Vamonos Marketing has gone on-line with a brand new web site for Omaha home and commercial fitness retailer Body Basics. The big re-build project all began during a fact-finding visit when the client complained their web site had virtually no presence on the search engines. Full of content on hundreds of pieces of fitness equipment, the web site indexed so poorly that only typing something as defined as ‘body basics omaha’ would produce a listing for the web site. The more we examined how to possibly fix the five year old “asp” web site the more it seemed obvious that the best solution was to blow it up and start all over. So the conversation changed to what Body Basics would want in a new web site. Beyond more effective search engine optimization, their wish was for a more consistent presentation of all of their equipment and accessories. Though Body Basics does not sell on their web site, we proposed a “shopping cart” format that displayed a uniform flow and look throughout all their categories and products. The result is an entirely refreshed web 2.0 look and feel. The new bodybasics.com is built on a Drupal content management system. The effort involved collaboration between the graphic design flair of Justin Wolta in Chicago and expert Omaha Drupal programmer Jim Berry. Directing the building of the elaborate new site was Vamonos Web Developer Steve Morse, who explains the greatest change to the new site wasn’t just what’s on the screen but what’s behind it. “More than anything else we changed the technical structure of the web site”, Steve expounds, “We went from a tabled format to a css/html table-less infrastructure designed for search engine friendly optimization. Body Basics now has a web presentation attractive to the consumer and Google.”

Smith, Gardner, Slusky Law of Omaha just went on-line with the first phase of their new robust, contemporary web site by Vamonos Marketing.     Our design and initial stage launched Friday December 11 at www.smithgardnerslusky.com.      The law firm was so anxious to update their presentation on the web that our initial orders were to “just get that old site off a.s.a.p”.   So we mapped out a long-term plan to complete the project in phases, the first milestone in establishing the tone and foundation of new site. Our objective for phase one was to complete a new look, the site template, a listing of all their areas of law and bio pages for the partners at the firm. Smith, Gardner, Slusky also emphasized the user’s ability to contact the firm by phone or internet. That contact invite and form is available on all pages of the web site. While appearance was important, the firm desires their new web site to also be a good resource for visitors and perspective clients for researching the many areas of law practiced by Smith, Gardner, Slusky Law.   We felt a content management system would the best investment to organize and present all of this information. Vamonos Marketing is building the new web site in Drupal, a flexible and expansive platform to add and contually update content  that expounds on the vast expertise and benefits of Smith, Gardner, Slusky Law. Phase two has begun and additional posts on the web site are to come!

Here are some web sites completed by Vamonos Marketing

Aqua Palace
This extensive site is constantly adapted to reflect all this spa and pool store has to offer. The site is heavier on brand and product information to keep the consumer from needing to go to other sites. The site also includes a shop on-line store water care products and accessories.

The Omaha Pool Builder
Aqua Palace wanted an information site to educate consumers of the different types of swimming pools for their backyard. This high-end pool builder uses the site to also showcase completed projects and satisfied owners as well provide a blog of the lastest information on pool options, safety, and water care. The web site features extensive use of jquery effects.

Rêvé Salon & Spa
The premier full-service salon started off with a very plain two-page web site. The objective was to upgrade the site to market all the services and the team in a very classy, clean manner. The colors and look of the site reflect the beautiful wood interior of the salon and spa.

Avalon Suites – Salon & Spa
There was a two-fold challenge given to us in building this web site for a salon of leased hair and beauty professionals. Foremost, the site needed to provide consumers the what, who and where of the salon in west Omaha. The second goal was to sell independent beauty professionals on why to lease space at Avalon. We approached the leased side as having a site within the site that catered to their lingo and objectives.

Mr. Ed’s Flagpole Co.
We were given this project that included an archaic web site, a bad domain name and a limited budget. Our first call to action was to replace mredsenterprises.com with a url that reflected what the business was about. We built half the site on an e-commerce program to better organize and display the many different flags—with the plan of eventually adding all the products and converting the site to an on-line store.

Emergency Dental Care USA of Seattle
This is one of quite a few web sites we have built for this Omaha corporation expanding across the country with either corporate or affiliate locations. The key emphasis of this simple site is to provide essential information to people in pain on what Emergency Dental Care can do to help as well as how to reach and find the clinic. The site is built on WordPress because of its flexibility and ability to index quickly on search engines.
