Help BlueInk win a Crunchie

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Sure we’re small, rural, etc, but here’s a shot at helping put our little company and/or product on the map. If you’ve used BlueInk, and believe it’s worthy of the Best App Award, we’d love to have you cast your vote.

If you’ve not yet tried BlueInk, we’d at least like to have you check it out at the BlueInk Demo Site.

Thanks in advance for whichever you have time to do.

Greenville, SC —Today, BigBlueHat is announcing the immediate availability of version 2 of our BlueInk Content Management System (CMS).

BlueInk is BigBlueHat’s flagship product. BlueInk gives ordinary people hassle-free, in-browser control over their web site’s content. Through a simple, innovative interface the site owner can edit and organize text, photos, contact information, and other components—all while viewing the site.

During the creation of BlueInk version 2, BigBlueHat received valuable feedback from several upstate businesses, entrepreneurs, and web technologists. BigBlueHat continues to use feedback gleaned from current and potential customers as it makes pivotal decisions about the future of its product.

BlueInk is available via BigBlueHat’s website as new template-based site, a web site conversion, or through the purchase of BigBlueHat’s design files to code service. BlueInk is sold on a software-as-a-service, so web site owners enjoy free upgrades to the software.

Greenville, SC —This week Tyler Minard of Duncan, SC joined BigBlueHat for his 3 month internship. Tyler is a recent high school graduate with an interest in web development and computer networking. For the first several weeks, Tyler will be adding to his knowledge about HTTP, HTML, and other web technologies.

While at BigBlueHat Tyler will have the opportunity to work on the BlueInk Content Management System and several client projects. His work will include adding new features written in PHP, working with the front-end interface of BlueInk, and helping BigBlueHat migrate much of its code to the REST-based architectural style.

“It was good to find that Tyler already knew so much about HTTP and Web Technology,” said Benjamin Young, President of BigBlueHat. “The initial survey showed he’s very capable of getting involved with our projects quickly.”

Tyler’s internship will last for approximately three months, after which he’ll begin his first term at Spartanburg Community College. From there, he plans to transfer to the University of South Carolina Upstate where he will pursue a degree in the Information Technology field.

Design files to XHTML/CSS

Designers love to design. Web manufacturers love to… build designs for designers!… among other things.

Over the past 4+ years we’ve found that XHTML and CSS have become second nature. Browser bugs and inconsistencies are much smaller bumps in the road these days. We know not everyone enjoys writing code as much as we do, so we thought we’d pitch in and help.

In the last few weeks we have done four sites for three different design firms. They sent us Adobe PhotoShop or Adobe Illustrator files and we sent them back working web sites—and averaged less than 5 days on the turnaround time!

We enjoyed the pilot program so much, we decided to set this up as a full service for web designers the world over.

If you’re a web designer who prefers designing to coding, or who would rather not be up late weeknights because “certain browsers” aren’t cooperating, or if you’re just plain tired of angle brackets, we’d love to help out.

We’ve posted the basic pricing information and instructions over at our Web Development page. We’ve also got an online order form to simplify the purchase process.

To see the outcome of the pilot program mentioned earlier, check out the screenshots below—you can click them to visit the finished sites:
