Virteom Launches Bishop Construction
Virteom is excited to announce the launch of Bishop Construction LLC's new site, bishopllc.com! For over 34 years, Bishop Construction LLC, located in Wickliffe, has been a trusted and experienced contractor in Northeast Ohio. Providing a full range of services from remodeling to new construction, Bishop Construction LLC is committed to providing superior craftsmanship for customers in the Greater Cleveland area. WHY WE LOVE THIS SITE Bishop Construction LLC is all about making your home or business look and feel good, and that's exactly what we at Virteom set out to do for their new site! With full-width images of Bishop's construction work, coupled with modern parallax sections and a new sleek design, Bishop's new site shows off the company's fun vibe and quality stand-out work. One of our favorite sections of the new site is the projects page! Bishop Construction LLC wanted to highlight images of their past commercial and residential work to engage new customers. They were also looking to highlight their most recent project, the newly remodeled Eddy's Bike Shop in Willoughby Hills. Our team worked to create a format and design that highlighted all of the company's work, adding a featured project section to highlight exactly what Bishop Construction LLC wanted to focus on along with a gallery of past residential work. The gallery on the projects page allows customers to click through pictures and read about each indivi
Don't Just Build Websites, Build Smart Sites
A website is more than a place to find a phone number or email. It's more than product and service details. It's more than a place to boast about your company employees, history, and experience. It's more than an extra for your business or marketing, it's a necessity. Websites are not what they used to be, they have to be both a foundation and driver of your web presence & growth. That's why Virteom creates Smart Sites. With technology advancing at warp speeds, traditional websites are quickly losing ground. Mobile devices and their streamlined, quick responding, draw-us-back app technology call for websites to join the cutting edge, modern front runners or dwindle into antiquity. Are websites fighting a losing battle? We believe not. SEO, bandwidth, browser technology, screen sizes and user expectations continually change around us and lead into a better future. It is time to recharge our creative thinking caps and utilize the technologies at hand. Traditionally, websites retrofitting content to mobile devices proved bulky and cumbersome. Mobile apps birthed effective, user-engaging characteristics not found on the web. Clearly, in a fast-paced, on-the-go culture, mobile wins out. Are we resigned to accept this disjointed web experience? Drawing on the strengths of the mobile fleet and recognizing new technologies, a mergence of these formats proves not only possible but beneficial to users and web owners. Recognizing the hope and promise of
Virteom Launches Consolidated Precision Products
Come check out Virteom's latest site, Consolidated Precision Products, cppcorp.com ! With locations all around the world, Consolidated Precision Products has a home base in Cleveland but is an internationally recognized company specializing in high-precision, geometrically complex aerospace systems, components and subassemblies. CPP's new site was built by Virteom on the Wordpress CMS. I know what you're thinking, "What? Wordpress?" Yeah! We do that too! When customers come to Virteom for a new site build we like to give them all the options when choosing their CMS. For some customers the choice is easy, we built our Virteom CMS from the ground up, and know all it's ins and outs. But at the same rate, some companies have a technical staff member who have worked on a certain CMS before, and will be maintaining the site moving forward. This was the case for CPP. wordpress VS the virteom cms Wordpress and the Virteom CMS have many similarities; ability to add plugins [also called modules], version control, advanced style options, blogging, shopping carts, etc. However, they stand a part in one very important spot, and this is inline editing. The Virteom CMS is unique among many other content management systems because the end user has the opportunity to add/edit/delete content directly on the page they are editing. This is different than Wordpress, which has a back-end user interface with a section called "pages." The nice thing about inlin
