New Site Launch – BrightLine Solutions

posted by emily

Have you ever thought staffing was sexy?  Well that was our goal.  We had the unique pleasure of working with such a fantastic group of women who specialize in staffing services for the IT, Finance, and Engineering fields.  Their new site: www.BrightLineSolutions.net reflects their personality with a sense of fun, a bit of sass and a lot of purple.  A new feature to this redesign is their Job Search and Application Process which allows candidates to immediately apply for a position and upload their resume, saving visitors time and streamlining BrightLine’s hiring process.

New Site Launch – Mind Your Business, Inc.

posted by emily

Mind Your Business wanted to showcase their exceptional customer service through a new site that would improve the client experience; meaning help each visitor find information on the site quickly and the resources they need even faster.  The site now has an easy-to-navigate page structure, integration with industry-specific applications, and SEO-oriented pages.  Beyond the mechanics of the site, it is beautifully updated with a slide show, mobile-friendly navigation, and a seamless blog.  They focused on clean content that spoke to their clients and visuals that represented the wide-array of customer backgrounds.

And with the ribbon-cutting of their new site, they head to D.C. to meet the president and celebrate their much deserved 2011 NC Small Business Person of the Year award.  Here’s to a solid foundation, future growth and a little facelift!

Strive Not to Drive began twenty one years ago as Bike to Work Day with the goal of encouraging bicycle commuting in Buncombe County.  Over the years as concerns about air quality, physical inactivity and related health concerns, and traffic congestion have grown; the event has broadened to encourage any form of transportation other than driving alone in your car.   We hope you will join us in next year’s event as we increase awareness about how transportation choices affect our health, air quality and quality of life in Buncombe County.

A Business Mission of Happiness

Web company Integritive seeks to blur lines between work/life balance
Friday June 24, 2011 — Camille Jensen

What happens when a web development and branding company make its mission “to love and have fun?”

According to Integritive founder and CEO John Miles, great things. He’s been running his Asheville, North Carolina company under the banner of happiness at work and the company has grown steadily since its inception in 2001.

Miles says bliss in business is the way of the future to break free from the outdated model of work/life balance. That’s because true happiness isn’t leisure time, but rather when a person becomes deeply engaged in something they love and are good at doing.

Google Plus One Button Won’t Validate Strict XHTML

posted by admin

I’ve got a site that validates in XHTML Strict. However, adding Google’s new Plus 1 button caused the validation to fail. To fix this, I was able to document.write the escaped code and it passes validation.

Before:

<g:plusone size="small"></g:plusone>

After:

%3C%67%3A%70%6C%75%73%6F%6E%65%20%73%69%7A%65%3D%22%73%6D%61%6C%6C%22%3E%3C%2F%67%3A%70%6C%75%73%6F%6E%65%3E

Full code in document.write:

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
document.write(unescape('%3C%67%3A%70%6C%75%73%6F%6E%65%20%73%69%7A%65%3D%22%73%6D%61%6C%6C%22%3E%3C%2F%67%3A%70%6C%75%73%6F%6E%65%3E'));
// ]]></script>

Here’s a great resource to quickly encode HTML:

IE8 note… currently this is working in IE9, but the button isn’t showing up in IE8. If anyone knows why, please let us know in the comments!
