EPIC Camp

EPIC Camp

After a long awaited winter and spring, we have been able to move our offices!  We are now located only a short distance from where we used to be, and our address officially lies at 9 North Main Street.  We are directly above the delicious Cafe d italia restaurant on the square on the second floor in suite #1.  Come and see for yourselves!

Spring has been hectic and work-filled.  We have launched Hope Ignited and helped code and develop their site, webstore and apparel.  We have been in the process of a lot of t-shirt designing for Epic, LifeLoveMusic, Camp Joy-El and a dozen others, and with many new designs coming within the month.

Prison Fellowship has been a focus for us the past month as we have been developing, testing and designing a LMS System (that would be a Learning Management System for those of you who aren’t familiar with the acronym).  It is basically a virtual campus that organizes courses, classes and students.

We continue to be working on some new and exciting stuff – stay tuned!

IceFest

Bollinger Aluminum

Jalex Homes

We have had a busy week wrapping up work, including three new websites which we released this week including Bollinger’s Aluminum, Ice Fest and Jalex Homes (2.0). We are still keeping rather busy with different projects, including book covers, apparel for LifeLoveMusic, websites for Antietam Realty, Antrim Homes, Uprise Festival 2010 and some interface design for Samaritan Diagnostics.

We have also been busy processing a lot of t-shirt orders – the holidays are coming up, so now is a great time to get your custom apparel ordered.

Have a great weekend!

Hungry For Life Donation Module

As September is flying by, so are our projects! We just finished programming a microsite and donation module for Hungry For Life International. Hungry For Life (USA) connects churches and groups in North America with churches and ministries in developing countries for long term relationships involving community transformation initiatives, building projects, pastoral training and many other relief efforts. This is going to be the first of many projects with Hungry For Life that we are working on, and we are excited to be partnering with them!

In other projects, we are undertaking Jalex Homes’ new website, a brand new site for Weaver’s Tire, multiple training modules for PFM, and in the designing stages for Lifest 2010.  We are beginning development for Vision Conference 2010 in both web and print media, as well as the marketing collateral for Joe Pa’s Sports Grille. In the next two weeks we will also be laying the groundwork for Antietam Realty’s website.

As always, stay tuned here at our blog, be our friend on Facebook, or check in daily at our Twitter!

Hello faithful blog-readers!  We understand tomorrow most people are off for the upcoming holiday, however we will be in the office designing our little fingers off.  Projects have been coming in very quickly the past three months, so everyone here in the office is very, very busy!  We have a few projects to share with you.

Impact South Africa

1. WEB – Impact Africa.  Our very own Trevor Roberts (along with his wife) is heading over to South Africa this month to help build some homes in the community and to work with local children in VBS programs. We designed this website for people not only to know what Impact South Africa is, but also to inform people on what they would be doing while they are there.

Afrikan Republic

2. PRINT – We have been super busy with print as well, however we wanted to share labels that we designed for Afrikan Republic. African Republic makes skin care products, and we had the opportunity to re-design their product labels.

LifeLoveMusic Heart

3. APPAREL – We have been printing apparel like madmen. Hats for Joe Pa’s Sports Grille, a dozen local church projects, and we just released four brand new LifeLoveMusic shirts for the 2009 line. We have much more to come…

We wish you a wonderful holiday weekend, be careful with those fireworks!

We are very excited to share with you the recent release of the new Jana’s Bakery Website. Last Friday we released the site and over the weekend over 7 showcase sites picked it up and featured it! By Monday Jana’s Bakery received over 3,500 unique visitors to the new web presence. Not only have the visits increased, we have received many messages and calls about the website. It is being received very well and we are very excited to partner with Jana on this project. If you have not stopped in and tried one of her baked goods, make sure you do! We highly recommend it!

In other news, we are working on 2 major web builds, printing over 3,200 shirts and many other projects we will share with you soon!

Take care and enjoy this warm weather!

Kevin F. Harney Website

Recently we released the new website of Kevin F. Harney, a licensed professional couselor located here in Chambersburg, PA.  Kevin has been counseling since 1996, and has helped hundreds of families and individuals over the past 13 years.  Kevin Harney, provides individual counseling for older children, teens and adults, and also has a great deal of experience working with couples, whether unmarried, engaged, married, divorcing/divorced, or remarried with blended families.  It was great to work with Kevin and help him launch a new and successful website.

For everything else here at Cross and Crown, we are keeping busy!  We will be showcasing 4 new shirts we designed for Lifest/Life! Promotions in a couple of days, so be sure to check back looking for those.

Stay tuned!

Negley's Well Drilling

The month of March started off with a large list of things for us to do here at Cross & Crown.  As March continues onward, we still are very, very busy with many projects!  Today’s featured project is one that we have entered the beginning stages of, but still have much work to do.  Behold, Negley’s Well Drilling.  Up front, you would think that all they really do is drill wells, however this is not the case.  Negley’s also does all types of water treatment and testing, provides alternative geothermal energy services and even pump systems for residential homes and commercial areas.  Cross & Crown is in the process of expanding the online look and vision of Negley’s Well Drilling to more than just an assumed well drilling company.  The website we have up now is a temporary site, however in a couple of weeks we will hopefully have a much larger site developed that features all of the additional services they offer, helping to not only educate people about them, but also to share the importance of their services and the benefits they can provide.

Aside from Negley’s Well Drilling, we are also busy with other notable projects:  We just finished up a series of ads for Lifest and Nationally known speaker Bob Lenz, and are continually piecing together promotional material and apparel for the festival.  Destiny Image has kept us busy with book covers as we have been putting together a few different ones for authors Che Ahn and Jeff Jansen.  ChristianRock.Net is having us reformat their website, Dance Unabashed is having us re-do their website, We finished up a logo for Kirbtech (computer sales & support) and The Links (Chambersburg recreation center), and somewhere in the middle of all of that we managed to print and process over 1200 shirts.  Whew!

We are still cranking out work here at Cross & Crown, and have a steady flow of incoming work.  We have a few projects coming up in the beginning of April that we cannot annouce as of yet, but I am sure we will be releasing a sneak peek or two of what’s to come!

Stay tuned readers … big things to come.

We our excited and honored to announce two websites we have recently built have been featured on CSS Based, A Standards Based web gallery.

Kamran Yaraei's new book, Food For The Heart

Cross and Crown has released our project for the week: full book cover for Kamran Yaraei’s new book, Food For The Heart.  Kamran had a great enthusiasm and vision for his book – after a few different versions and revisions, he chose a cover and we helped him develop it from there.  Want to know more about Kamran?  You can read more about him and his passion with Project Call Out.

We are continuing to tackle an increasing workload including work for Christina Sanders, Paramore, Cute Is What We Aim For, The Glorious Unseen, Jonny Diaz (DIE-AZ), Belinda Jane, Future Shirts, King Street Church, Cross Inc. and much, much more.  So stay tuned for updates on our work, and some possible sneak previews coming up!

In other news and updates, as one of our employees went out to their vehicle this morning, they noticed the temperature reading was 3º.  Now that is cold.

New Cross and Crown website!

Hello faithful readers!   Happy New Year to all of you.  Welcome to the very first blog post of 2009!  We would also like to welcome all the new readers to the Cross and Crown blog.  We had a wonderful year in 2008; over 50 new clients, a new office building and 4 great interns.  We enjoyed last year’s success and are ready for a new and exciting year at Cross and Crown – we already have some new and exciting projects lined up.  What better way to get it started than to release our new website?

After a couple weeks of brainstorming, designing, updating, coding and testing, we have released the next version of our website (a much better version).  The new website has some cool new features:

• simpler, faster loading interface
• revamped and updated portfolio of our work
• client list of who we have done (and are doing) work for
• a services page that tells you everything we can do and offer
• “quick quote” form making it easier to contact us with what you want

We encourage you to spend some time on the new site looking around.  We plan on keeping our portfolio and blog as updated as often as possible.  This will be a challenge as we already have a busy January planned – so we ask you to be patient!

We’ve also listed below a few sites below that we’ve done that we didn’t have the chance to share with you yet.  Call it your New Year’s treat.

Stay tuned!
