Challenge:
With limitations in the hosting platform service provider, Spacewalk Studios needed to figure a way to work with these constraints. The main obstacle is having a place to upload document files and the ability to view these files in the web browser without disrupting users and viewers. With no legitimate content management system implemented, not being able to view those files created an issue.

Solution:
Implementing a content management system will be key to hosting document files and making future updates to the website. A simple intuitive system that’s user friendly was needed and the WordPress platform was presented. WordPress was chosen due to its user-friendly interfaces and ease of use to manage content.

Initially, Kelley approached Spacewalk Studios with a request to add additional content to the website, but after visiting the website, found it was a bit out dated and could use a bit of a facelift.
Challenge:
The website was fairly content heavy with media and information. Many of these contents were placed in an unorganized fashion and made it difficult for viewers to find key information about the company. Spacewalk Studios was handed a heavy task to organize all the media and information to be presented in a sensible manner.

Solution:
Best approach to this will be to start grouping content and media to specific categories. These categories were then implemented as the navigation menu to guide viewers to specific content about Kelley Chunn and Associates. Having content organized, easily allows your viewers to find vital information about the company.

Problem:
DRB Services already has a website in place and what they needed is a bit of refinement. The website needed some guidance overall on the UI and structure to effectively present customers with vital information about the company and their core values. The refinement will also give their customers and potential customers a better sense of who DRB Services are and the services they provide.

The refinement will also give their customers and potential customers a better sense of who DRB Services are and the services they provide.
Challenge:
After refining the UI and structure of DRB Services website, Spacewalk Studios found that the website could use a tad more content to convey the company’s presence with leadership, their affiliations and core values. The ability to have these information on your website will establish credibility with you business.
