Cabo Wabo’s New Site is as Smooth as their Award Winning Tequila

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Screen Shot of CaboWabo.com SiteWebSight Design has launched CaboWabo.com, and it’s as cool and smooth as their award winning tequilas. The site was converted from Flash and upgraded to jQuery. The new Javascript website offers a unique design with sleek style and smooth transitions.

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.

The Ocean Foundation: Supporting Those Who Protect Healthy Oceans

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Ocean Foundation Website Screen ShotWebsight Design’s helps The Ocean Foundation protect the world’s oceans though the launch of OceanFDN.org. The site was designed to offer support to a community of organizations committed to protecting ocean environments from the trend of destructive behavior around the world. It is highly stylized and made to enhance the user experience.

With a creative photo slider and easy-to-use tabs, the new site offers a system for newsletter signup, donation collection, photo & video content uploading, and financial advisory toolkit sharing. WSD also conducted a professional search engine optimization (SEO) audit of the OceanFDN site. From this, an SEO framework has been implemented which will hopefully lead to further optimization of their site.

The OceanFDN site connects donors who care about the coasts and oceans with organizations looking for grants and other support. Their portfolio ranges from local to global projects and reaches across the U.S., and as far as Barcelona, Spain.

The Ocean Foundation not only facilitates project financing, but it also provides consulting and general advice to its organization partners. To accomodate this, WSD has designed an OceanFDN Blog and Virtual Newsroom on the website, so The Ocean Foundation can more effectively communicate with its fans and other community members.

These features will allow OceanFDN.org to continue to strive towards its organizational goal: “Tell Us What You Want To Do For The Ocean, We Will Take Care Of The Rest.”
