TEWKSBURY, Mass., Feb. 12 , 2010 – Danconia Media today announced the launching of a new web site and branding for Worldwide TechServices, a global technology service provider previously known as QualxServ.

The site – located at www.wwts.com – was built using a robust content management system (CMS) that will allow WWTS to maintain and add content in-house. As part of the web design package, WWTS got custom graphics, JavaScript development, a blog section to be maintained by CEO Brendan P. Keegan, professionally edited content and a custom language selection bar for international visitors.

Danconia also delivered a full rebranding package that included a logo design, creation of the tagline “More People. More Places.,” custom office stationary, corporate business cards, letterhead design and a custom Microsoft PowerPoint presentation design. WWTS executives requested marketing collateral to match the new name they picked for the company, which has over 3,000 technicians in more than 50 countries spanning the globe.

In a press release, WWTS said: “The new web site features improved documentation, functionality, search, maps, language support and additional tools that will make it easier for clients and prospects to do business with WorldWide TechServices.” Kae Kronthaler-Williams, WWTS's director of worldwide marketing, said the company has been getting a “great response” since the site's launching.

Prior to marketing WWTS, Danconia had experience working with other technology companies, including Acclinet Corp., an industry-leading reseller of servers, workstations and storage systems from Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, EMC, Cisco, Fujitsu and other manufacturers. With its already in-depth knowledge of the industry, Danconia was able to craft a plan geared toward WWTS's unique target.

LACONIA, N.H., Feb. 1, 2010 – In preparation for this year's Laconia Motorcycle Week, the rally's organizers have called on Danconia Media to design a Web site that will act as a promotional and informational hub.

The overhauling of the Web site – located at www.laconiamcweek.com – has already begun, and the new site is expected to be launched in the coming weeks. The site will be equipped with a highly user-friendly content management system (CMS) that will make it easy for the organization to maintain it in-house.

“When choosing to redesign our site, it was important to find a company that had a local feel with big city ideas and experience; that's what we got with Danconia,” Jennifer Anderson, director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association, said. “They exceeded our expectations in being able to understand our global concept and synthesize both design and functionality to create a great site.”

As part of the Web design package, Laconia Motorcycle Week is getting custom graphic design, CMS development, base search engine optimization and social media integration. Jonathan Simoni, Danconia's project manager, said he's excited to help promote a historic event that brings needed tourism dollars into New Hampshire.

"We're really excited to be a part of Laconia Motorcycle Week. This is a great rally that offers something for everyone," Simoni said. “We're more than happy to help get the word out about it.”

The rally, in its 87th year, will be from June 12 – 20. Information about the rally's attractions, schedule, lodging, vendors, sponsors and more will be posted as soon as the new site is launched.

WINCHENDON, Mass., Feb. 1, 2009 – Saloom Furniture Company, a manufacturer of premium contemporary, country and transitional dining furniture, has launched a completely overhauled Web site and rebranding to match the quality and style of its products.

The site – located at www.saloom.com – was designed by New Hampshire-based Danconia Media using a highly user-friendly content management system (CMS) that Saloom plans to use to maintain it in-house. It features a robust cataloging system that allows staffers to add, remove and modify products and categories with minimal training.

The enhanced Internet presence allows Saloom to more effectively market its dining tables, chairs, bar tables, counter tables and case pieces to potential customers and vendors online. Using the site, visitors can easily find samples of Saloom's wide variety of furniture styles and find an authorized dealer in their areas. Danconia also produced hundreds of pages of content crafted to rank highly on major search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing.

“We've always felt that we had a powerful story to tell – of high quality, American-made, custom-order dining furniture – but our Web site was 10 years old, built in-house, and didn't give us the visibility on the Internet that we needed,” Becki Gould, Saloom's marketing director, said. “We felt that, if consumers discovered our products, we could sell them on the quality craftsmanship and design, and direct them to the retail store, which would ultimately lead to increased sales.”

She added: “We hired Danconia Media for our redesign because we felt they had a proven track record of success at good Web site design and a special strength in search engine optimization that was critical to this project.”

As part of the package, Saloom also received a redesigned logo and high-end business cards to match its new branding. During the design process, Danconia made sure to produce collateral that would appeal to Saloom's varying target consumers, whose tastes range from rustic to modern to anywhere in between.

“We enjoyed the challenge of bringing together Saloom's varied style offerings into one branding package,” William Sweeney, Danconia's vice president, said. “We're confident that our solution will ultimately lead to increased revenues for Saloom.”

Saloom, based in Winchendon, was founded in 1982 by Peter and Linda Saloom. Originally run out of a basement, the company now has two factories with 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space and products distributed throughout the United States and Canada. The company has four main product lines: Saloom New England, New Castle, City Scapes and Gardner Contemporary.

SALEM, N.H., Nov. 19, 2009 – Danconia Media has received this year's Salem Animal Rescue League Community Service Award for donating a new Web site that the nonprofit uses to reach out to its supporters and to find homes for abandoned dogs and cats in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.

SARL presented Danconia the award during its annual Kimball Family Farm Autumn Brunch event held Sunday. In its recognition, SARL praised Danconia for developing an online tool that has made it easier for the animal rescue league to communicate with volunteers and supporters, raise money for its planned relocation and building project, and find homes for abandoned pets.

About 60 guests attended the event, which was held at the home of Tim and Valorie Hayes, a SARL board member, in North Andover, Mass. Before SARL's awards were handed out, attendees watched an hour-long presentation by Vickie Constantine Croke, an author, journalist and host of “The Secret Life of Animals” on NECN. Guests were also updated on SARL's Capital Giving Campaign and building project.

“The most outstanding feature of the day was our fundraising effort that resulted in $87,000 in proceeds for our Capital Giving Campaign and general fund,” said Ray Denis, SARL's director of development.

SARL launched its new site – located at www.sarl-nh.org – in October. The site features a highly user-friendly content management system that allows SARL members to add and modify content within moments, a pet management system that makes adding new animals available for adoption to its database simple, and a robust CRM application that allows the organization manage donations, volunteers and events from a single interface.

“They captured exactly what we were looking for in a very user-friendly Web site,” SARL President Lori Bertrand said shortly after the site's launching. “I am delighted with the outcome of this project, as it will be used by our volunteers, staff, donors and adopters to advance our shelter's operations and save many more lives of companion animals.”st

The site was donated as part of Danconia's Web design grant program specifically for New Hampshire nonprofits and charities. The program is intended for in-state organizations, but out-of-state applicants will be considered if they provide significant services for Granite State residents.
