WebSight Design is proud to announce Kilgore’s completely rebuilt and newly designed website:  DudeRanchJobs.com.  This simple yet comprehensive site is the premier dude ranch job listing service, offering employers and ranch job seekers a one stop source for finding just what they are looking for.

DudeRanchJobs.com lists every possible kind of ranch job one might have an opening for or be looking for.  Currently posted positions include job listings such as:

• ranch management,
• wranglers,
• chefs and bartenders,
• counselors for youth programs,
• general ranch managers,
• maintenance workers,
• guides for hiking, fishing, fly-fishing, white-water rafting, and hunting,
• horsemanship instructors,
• and the list goes on.

Every year, ranches in the United States and worldwide hire employees, both seasonal and year-round, to fill their many positions.   While many of the jobs require hard work and skill, the locations of the ranches are in some of the most beautiful country and offer unique opportunities to become part of a team of exceptional folk.  If you’re a ranch owner with jobs to fill or you’re looking to work on a ranch, DudeRanchJobs.com is the first and only step you’ll need to take!

While the site features jobs available in the United States, particularly ranch jobs in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Arizona and California, Kilgore’s ultimate goal is to have the site include jobs from ranches around the world.  And with such a great new site and reasonable subscription fees to employers, his vision is bound to be reality in short time.

Six months and a few thousand dollars later, Sally was shown a mock-up of her site, and was aghast.  It was unusable.  She fired the designer, and came to WebSight Design, who confirmed that her instinct to move on was indeed a very good one.  We scratched all previous work and immediately began working on a design to match the “feel” of what Sally communicated she hoped the site would convey – reliable talent with a bit of pizazz and humor.

Sally, as a content writer with an eye for design and online marketing, wanted the site to clearly depict the professional services her business offered yet with a playful flair.  Unlike some new website owners, she did not need to be “found on the web” or have complicated functionalities but wanted to have a place to showcase her business and share her blog.

Less than 45 hours of work later, just as the calendar switched to 2012, the creative and witty site went LIVE!  Sally was delighted, saying “All of you at WebSight Design perfectly captured the “feel” I was looking for, from colors to layout to flashing my favorite quotes on the About Us (aka “Behind the Curtain”) page.  Thank you.”

Mission accomplished – one more satisfied site owner and, as reported by Sally, many happy site visitors!

Kristin grew up in central New York, graduated from Harvard, and moved to the Big Apple, New York City. She has worked at a literary agency, taught creative writing, and freelanced for magazines and travel guides.

During her time as a journalist, she interviewed a man named Mark. Mark was a die-hard farmer who’s passion for agriculture caused Kristin’s interest to develop beyond that of her current profession.

In 2004, Mark and Kristin founded Essex Farm – the world’s first full-diet CSA. Since, Essex has flourished, and Kristin has been busy at work, both farming and writing. With the publication of The Dirty Life, Kimball has also written for O Magazine, Vogue, Gourmet Live, and a variety of other publications.

In addition to the critical acclaim of her book, ranging from the New Yorker to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Essex has been featured in magazines such as Food & Wine.

With her new website design, Kristin will extend her online presence to match that of her book and farm’s popularity.

Specific elements included a big, colorful announcement of the new album on the home page and changes to the site-wide background image. Replacing an image of Jorge singing and playing guitar from his previous album, Here I Am, the new background depicts a stylized photo of the musician’s hands playing the guitar. This background comes directly from the Gracias Madrecita CD insert artwork.

The new website design also features two additional pages for Gracias Madrecita. One shows photos from the making and recording of the album, while the other provides MP3 song samples which can be played directly on the site. The site also gives users links to buy the album online. Finally, the redesign adds Gracias Madrecita to Jorge’s discography database.

Prominent new features on the site are the home page—with its Gracias Madrecita theme and album artwork—and the Gracias Madrecita pages added deeper into the site.

The newest release of the site adds vibrant color and design elements into the existing site structure. By swapping out the subtle site-wide background image, visitors get a sense of change throughout the site. The new Gracias Madrecita graphic elements are a great color play and focal point for the site.

WebSight Design is very proud to be a part of the Doobons.com launch. WSD was involved with extensive development and design, as well as search engine optimization. The Doobons site is clean and organized, creating a highly user-friendly interface.

Doobons is a legal medical marijuana dispensary search engine dedicated to providing medical marijuana advice, promotions, and other resources to anybody who might benefit from the use of medical marijuana.

Doobons traces its beginnings to an unsuspecting family member whose father was diagnosed with cancer. When traditional treatments were unable to effectively manage the patient’s pain and chemotherapy was causing a debilitating inability to eat, Doobons’ founder began to search for alternative medicines.

Unaware of how to navigate the world of legal medical marijuana, the Doobons founders quickly realized that no user-friendly and moreover no patient-friendly resources existed to serve those in need of this alternative medicine.

When he saw the great response the patient had, he knew that something had to be done to help patients and their caregivers. Doobons was born.

The site features interactive maps of medical marijuana dispensaries, doctors, lawyers, or other cannabis related businesses. Additionally, location based deals and discounts allow patients to access the very best price for their medication.

Doobons also provides comprehensive resources, such as information on how to get your medical marijuana doctor’s recommendation or cannabis card, which strains or forms of intake are best for particular illnesses or ailments, as well as current up-to-date news.

Doobons is committed connecting medical marijuana patients with the legal help and rights information that they need.

The Doobons team is highly committed to the cure and treatment of ailments which can be treated by alternative medicines. They have begun donating and giving back to the foundations such as The American Cancer Society.

Doobons business members can create profiles including video and photo galleries, company information, reviews section, and product menu option. They also have  the opportunity to create and post banner and geo-targeted ads on the Doobons site, as well as send out email notifications to Doobons patient members.

Doobons.com had its official public launch over the past weekend, November 11 to 13, at the HempCon medical marijuana show in San Jose, and the owners are gearing up to have the Southern California release this coming weekend, November 18 to 20, at the KushExpo in Orange County.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) have allowed for universal background width control, and the transition from Adobe Flash to Java brings opportunity for advanced search engine optimization (SEO) throughout the site.

Cabo Wabo, founded in 1996, was the creation of legendary musician and tequila aficionado, Sammy Hagar. After painstakingly seeking out the top tequilas to serve at his Cabo San Lucas cantina, Sammy decided to begin his own brand with the assistance of a tequila-making family with over 80 years of experience.

Today, production begins with Blue Agave cacti grown in Jalisco, Mexico by the same family with which Hagar originally partnered. After about 8 to 10 years,  the heart of the plant is extracted and transported to the distillery where it is used to create one of the most smooth and delicious tequilas in the world.

Cabo Wabo’s awards include a plethora of double gold, gold, and sliver medals from around the world. Most recently, the brand was awarded the Double Gold Medal for their añejo at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

These awards, their agency partner Meatoes, and their new WebSight Design site will really help to cement Cabo Wabo as the top tequila in the world.
