See what we can do.
Gaze into our past to predict the future.

The best way for you to know what we're capable of accomplishing for your company is to see what we've already done for others. So we've included examples of our work, featuring links to several sites that we've designed and/or constructed.

Since we believe our true strength is in bringing clarity to Internet strategy, we've also revealed some of the thinking that went into each of these unique projects.

Online Sales/e-Commerce - This successful retail site demonstrates that effective online selling is dependent on ease of shopping/buying. People purchase on the Internet because they want to avoid mall and/or superstore crowds, uninformed salespeople, long checkout lines, and time consuming trips to the store. Therefore, the easier (more intuitive) and hassle-free the online shopping experience, the more sales and repeat customers your company can expect. For Eastern Offprice Children's Clothing, we wrote the custom shopping cart program and simple site navigation. We also provide the updates and ongoing maintenance to keep the site fresh and functioning smoothly.

Improved Service/Automation - This site proves you don't have to invest a large portion of your marketing budget to utilize the Internet to your benefit. Our client runs a small massage therapy business and also recommends/sells books to customers on holistic health and wellness-related topics. She had become distracted from her core business by having to personally handle appointment scheduling, review/sell books, and answer frequently asked questions. We created a site where customers could make appointments, purchase books, and have their questions answered, online. Consequently, the owner has fewer interruptions, allowing her more time to focus on massage. Most importantly, site development costs were minimal and the return on investment has been swift and significant.

Comprehensive information access - The nation's largest, independently owned insurance broker wanted to provide detailed information about their services and benefits. However, they had a very diverse customer base and several different divisions within the parent company, many of which were operating autonomously. The challenge was to integrate all divisions of the company within the umbrella of the whole, while still making the site easy to use and non-confusing for customers. We developed a consistent look and theme; worked with each division to gather information and determine their separate objectives; and then assimilated all of the complex information into a site that is very inviting, easy to navigate, and reflects a powerful, company-wide, integrated image.

Efficient database storage/retrieval - We work as part of a team to create a current web version of a career-oriented print magazine. Beyond providing essential career news, a critical aspect of the site is a valuable career opportunities/job-search database. Transparent Solutions developed the program functions for resume and job list sourcing, contact tracking, subscriber tracking, and click-through tracking - all vital database-driven components. Web-based data manipulation and tracking is just one of the many development strategies we offer to companies looking to gain efficiency or to provide a more beneficial customer/prospect link using the power of the net.

Complex data entry & manipulation - For the Gallatin Publishing Company, we served as database programmers and developers for an interactive web site that features real estate, auctions, news, and tourist information covering the 17-county region of Northwest Missouri. We created a real estate multi-listing service, including residential and commercial property listings from 50 different realtors, that enabled easy data entry and search functions. We also integrated the data into the client's back-office newspaper operations, automating their classified and display advertising account management. As a result, the site has benefited local communities, consumers, real estate brokers and, of course, our client.

These case studies represent only a fraction of our capabilities. We enjoy, more than anything, solving the challenges with which we’re presented. We believe our problem-solving approach sets us apart from web design firms that specialize in appearance and presentation, rather than utility of purpose.

Let us demonstrate how we can help your company take advantage of the Internet.
