We teamed up with Minch Design to implement this project, building out Craig Minch’s design into xHTML/CSS for this very ‘earthy’ site.

Our challenge was to build a dynamic, teacher driven site that could be easily updated and would grow with the needs of the school.

Brainstorming / Project planning / Prototyping
We are lifelong learners at Cloud City Digital, and relish the opportunity to work with clients involved in education. Bowling Green Christian Academy asked us to built a content management system that would allow their teachers and staff to directly interact with the site, posting news announcements, events, homework assignments, and other important information.
After several research sessions with project liaisons from the school to determine the goals and structure of the site, we developed a project timeline and moved into the creative stage of the process.
Teachers at BGCA have a wide variety of technical experience, ranging from internet pros, to teachers who still prefer pen and paper. Keeping that in mind, we developed an interface for the back-end of the system that scales in interface complexity based on a users role in the system. More experienced users see a more detailed interface with more options and features with which to interact.
After internal testing and refinement, we met with the teachers and staff of the school to conduct training for the teachers and administrators that would be using the system on a daily basis. Once the training and initial content seeding was completed, we launched the site and teachers began using their class page for posting homework, photos, and event reminders.

Custom Content Management System / Training
Innovation is something we are passionate about. We love finding our clients new ways of doing old things, and doing them cheaper, faster, and more efficiently.
The Office of Residence Life at the University of Michigan asked us to share a prototype of a university residence hall portal system that we have been developing based on our custom content management system. We demonstrated how hall directors, resident advisors, and residents themselves could access the system and contribute content, with a robust editorial system that allows free speech, while ensuring review of content.
We are seeing people getting online from a wide range of devices. Keeping that in mind we demonstrated some of the many ways that content could be accessed, including RSS feeds, mobile phones, and televisions displayed in lobby areas.
In addition, we participated in a discussion about community building and the role of emerging technology on campus. We shared on the importance of integrating open platforms and services like YouTube, Fickr, Facebook, and RSS feeds into an organizations web presence. We’re looking forward to partnering with the University of Michigan to explore innovative ways to communicate and collaborate with a student population that is increasingly using the web as a resource in every part of their lives.
What we do
Web Development
No medium in recent history has done more to change the way we communicate, conduct business, and share information than the Internet. Cloud City Digital has been building the kind of sites that make the Internet so powerful for over ten years.
From basic sites that serve as a digital brochure for your organization – to full fledged content management systems that allow you to update your own content through a web browser (no web design skills needed); we can help you meet your goals online. Learn more about our process by clicking the tabs in the top left of the page.
eLearning and Online Training
Cloud City Digital has recently launched a sister company called CraftClarity to focus on the growing need for eLearning (also called online or computer-based training) as organizations seek to train employees in a consistent, cost-effective manner.
Please visit CraftClarity.com to learn more about how eLearning can help you manage costs and deliver vibrant, interactive training materials to your employees.
Social media and email campaigns
It can be difficult sorting out the hyped from the helpful when it comes to technologies with the "social media" label. We pair practical know-how with an innovative approach to building community to help design a strategy for building your brand online, while engaging both current and potential customers on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress, and YouTube.
Branded email campaigns are a great way to connect with your customers and clients. We design branded custom templates for our clients, and work with them develop a plan for creating compelling content that increases both sales and visibility.
