Mad River Glen

When the snow started flying early this fall in Vermont, local ski mountain/co-op mad River Glen was deep in winter preparations, including a new public website look-and-Mad River Glen's old site designfeel by Sensible World.

Mad River Glen asked VickeryHill to take the Adobe Photoshop files and make working web pages that their webmaster could integrate to their existing content management system. We, of course, couldn't wait to help out our friends at the Co-Op!

The project started by taking an in-depth look at the existing site and seeing how we could make the new design integrate with the content as simply as possible.

We created a template, includes, style sheets, javascript, favicon and commented the work so their webmaster could navigate through the code. The new site looks sharp and is slated to go live the first week of January, 2011!

As the folks at MRG are fond of chanting -- "Think Snow!"

Working with your existing resources

Don't listen to those that profess the need to scrap everything and start over when it comes to your web applications.

Mad River Glen is a perfect example of how a new designer can work with a webmaster and a third-party developer to build something that is affordable, functional AND friendly to the visitor.

While a client often starts off the first meeting worried about dangerously 'crossing the streams' of existing management and new developer, we often recommend that a long-term relationship binding together the old and new is the best path to take. The institutional memory alone typically proves invaluable when retrofitting a sometimes decade-old public website presence.

VickeryHill works together with our clients and their external resources to bring them the best, and most affordable solution.
