We're hoping to make this the last update to this version of the Squidz Ink website as a new version is approaching readiness. It will include a more thorough print/web/identity portfolio and more frequent updates. Keep your eye on the ball.

Though '09 is starting off a bit shakey for the country overall, we remain focused on achieving exciting new goals and will be looking to work with organizations interested in creative ways to move forward in the face of the storm.

RECENT PROJECTS:
CMS website for Writers in the Schools, running the pre-release of ergoCMS™, CMS website redesign for The Center for Houston's Future, running DMLContent, completed work on Children at Risk's bi-annnual publication Growing Up in Houston, published in October, new logo completed for Gulf Coast Literary Magazine, website redesign to launch shortly, Internal pieces for TR Moore & Associates, event materials for Children at Risk, brochure and annual report for Houston A+ Challenge, post cards and signage for local real estate mover and shaker Mary Wassef, updated Flash portflio site for Rocky Kneten Photography, 25th anniversary announcement for McElroy, Sullivan & Miller, LLC (Austin, TX) and identity suites for Carnrite Group and Fannin Pediatrics.

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS:
We have been working hard to complete our new website content management system, ergoCMS™, in collaboration with Wildrice Solutions. Our mission has been to separate design from development and provide end users a comfortable, powerful, easy to use site management tool. ergoCMS™ does just that. Once the system is deployed, your dynamic, data-driven website can be designed and published by any designer with HTML skills and a bit of ergoCMS™ training. Most content managment systems require a developer familiar with the inner architecture of the CMS to hard-code templates and other layout elements into the CMS. ergoCMS™ allows the web designer to fully control visual presentation without developer/programmer. This separation of display from data offers complete freedom in site design, reduces future redesign cost by streamlining the process and removes the need for the hard-coding skills of a programmer.

We'll be sure to update the current portfolio and yes, hopefully this whole site will finally redesigned and driven by the soon to be announced version 1.0 of ergoCMS™.
