Bitterroot Cutlery

Bitterroot Cutlery had tried the “free” do-it-yourself system over at Yahoo, and they just weren’t happy with the results (plus it took a LOT more time than anticipated). They needed a local web design company to take care of everything for them.

After learning about our Z-Start website system and package, they knew it would be a great fit for them. Thanks to their speedy feedback, we were able to get their new website up and running within a couple weeks.

Macomber Law Firm

Macomber Law needed a facelift in both content and design. Their previous website was the product of another generation. The new site needed better organization and concise information on the firm’s varied services. More than anything, the busy staff at Macomber Law needed a website that could be easily updated without any previous knowledge of web content management.

Monarch Custom Homes

In desperate need of a fresh look, the owners of Monarch Development came to ZolMedia for an elegant, photo-centric website that would treat its custom home designs like celebrated works of art. Moreover, Monarch needed a website that could showcase hundreds of design photos and concepts, all while emphasizing affordability.

With existing homes and plots for sale in North Idaho, galleries of previous designs, awards, local announcements and client testimonials, Monarch needed an expansive web solution with a number of special features and design elements.

The Z-Start package allowed for everything.

Health Actuary Search

The new Health Actuary Search (HAS) began with the need for a simple content management system switch. They needed to make quick changes, and their previous system wouldn’t allow for it.

Learning more about the Z-Start package capabilities, HAS then opted for a redesign. Then they needed a better tool for managing actuarial job postings. Then a new contact and application form. Then a complete restructuring of the Job Search function.

Encouraged by the results, Health Actuary Search is now participating in a customized online marketing package.

Jimmy’s Down the Street Restaurant

Weeks away from an appearance on the nationally televised Food Network program “Diners, Drive-ins & Dives,” Jimmy’s restaurant in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho needed a dynamic-looking website that would entice viewers of the show to go online and check out the menu.

Emphasizing its Made from Scratch home cooking and Southern Flavors, Jimmy’s wanted a rustic, country-comfort design that connected with its North Idaho clientele. Jimmy’s also needed a photo gallery to show off enticing breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

Shelter Associates Home Construction

Shelter Associates was having trouble connecting with potential customers online. Search engines simply weren’t finding the previous site. With a fresh new look, emphasizing the company’s dynamic custom homes, Shelter Associates is already much more competitive on the ever-evolving search engine front.

Other challenges for the Shelter redesign: Expansive photo galleries of previous designs, primer information on green building, testimonials, newsletters and blog entries emphasizing the industry’s latest techniques and successes. Shelter’s Z-Start did it all.
