Goshen College contacted us in 2007 to work with them to design publicity posters, programs, advertisements, and a flyer for their production of Suzan Zeder’s Step on a Crack. We worked closely with the producer to create a design that conveys the childlike feel of the play.
The Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin America (CRLN) was looking for their first website. They wanted to establish a web presence in order to share information about their campaigns for justice and human rights in Colombia and to better connect with their constituents in North America. They also wanted their staff members to be able to easily update content on the site.
Dirt Circle set up a website for CRLN using Drupal, an open source content management system. The site includes an event calendar for publishing events and an interface to very easily update content and a navigation structure that they can easily change as their campaigns and areas of focus change. The design incorporated photos from their work as well as their existing logo. We also provided on-site training for their staff on creating and updating the site.

Dirt Circle created this redesign or “skin” for Haiku Learning Systems, a classroom website and learning management system for eTeaching. This skin is especially for literature or writing classes.
Bethany Christian Schools wanted to increase their web presence with dynamic resources for students, parents, prospectives, faculty and staff. Their needs ranged from practical calendar, news and announcement updates to implementing a new brand with a more open and welcoming site. They needed a solution that was flexible and easy to manage themselves, cheap enough to implement and maintain on a small budget, with easy access to large amounts of content for different constituents and stakeholders.

Plain and Simple was looking for an overhaul of their old site. We built the new one on Drupal content management system – an open source, powerful and free system – giving them easy-to-manage dynamic content. This includes a gallery of images of their products that can handle bulk imports. We also used Drupal’s search engine friendly features to raise their Google ranking for target keywords.
We updated the design and navigation to focus on the main strengths and beliefs of the company. We worked with a photographer to create images that communicated Plain and Simple’s commitment to personal attention and quality.
Potter, Eric Strader, asked us to create a classy sign to advertise his anniversary open house. We created this digital sign for him to use on RedPost, a digital advertising medium.
Indigenous Issues Forums was looking to break out of the box with a visual, kid-friendly site that evokes the natural world through artwork and movement. We built the site around their beautiful logo (hand-drawn by Jim Yellow Hawk) and created a rich seasonal landscape backdrop, hand-drawn by Aaron. We pushed the boundaries of the web browser by building on the open-source MooTools JavaScript library to create a site that moves like Flash but is web-standards compliant, degrades gracefully in older browsers, and is fully accessible to all web clients. Using the powerful and flexible open-source Django web application framework, we provided IIF with an intuitive administration interface for managing text and photo content.
