Breaking the Barrier

BTB was referred to us in 2006 by a client who is also in the language publishing field, and we were asked to see what we could do to improve their existing site. We made design improvements and added a newsletter sign-up form, and enabling them to edit their own pages using Adobe Contribute. Their previous HTML layout did not use a template, so we created an Adobe Dreamweaver template for all the pages to use. In July 2008 we converted tobreak.com to a Joomla content management site with e-commerce capability. The online store relies on the popular VirtueMart extension for Joomla, and features eye-catching product image popups right out of the box.

"When I stumbled into Plethora Design, I expected I had found, at long last, a creative and responsive marketing firm for my growing business. That they certainly are. But in the course of our work on varied projects, we have discovered an exceptional thinker in their director - a technical architect whose left-brained engineering aptitudes for structure and analysis are matched by his right-brained gifts for superb and nuanced communication. We worked with their director. His interests are expansive and his values are in just the right place. Rather than the quick fix, they helped me think through complex issues that are both technical and non-technical in nature. Their approach has always been generous and flexible. During this process, they have often been my guide, and have always been our partner. As you might imagine, the process of working with such a comprehensive talent has yielded an exceptional array of products, products I believe will more than hold their own over time."
