On May 2nd 2008, Delaware Web Designers Inclind, Inc launched Blue Waterfront Properties, a website geared at selling Delaware real estate on the waterfront, bays, rivers or ponds.
Headquartered in Dover, Delaware, George & Lynch currently employs over 360 construction professionals specializing in a wide variety of heavy, infrastructure related construction services. Celebrating 85 years in business, George & Lynch is more than a familiar company name. The firm has become a major infrastructure contractor in the Mid-Atlantic region and on the East Coast. With a nationally recognized commitment to safety and recently named as the “Best in the Business” for the Delaware construction industry, owners can rest assured that their site construction needs, underground utilities and paving projects are in good hands.
When they needed to completely overhaul their website design and corporate image, they needed the right tool for the job. They came right to Inclind. We provided them with our robust Content Management System with a fresh new design to meet their expectations.
In addition to a transformation of the website design, the redeveloped website includes several additional new sections of content including information on specific projects. It will be much easier to make changes and updates any page of this new website with the included backend intranet branded as Inclind CMS. This content management system will also include a tool to post news releases and a tool to manage employee events. This Inclind product is really a valuable advancement that allows companies like George & Lynch to make adjustments to their website themselves instantly and effortlessly. This is an enormous breakthrough from their previous website, and only Inclind Delaware web design can offer such tools.
Full search engine optimization capabilities were implemented as well so anyone looking for the services George & Lynch offers can find them easily in any major search engine. Inclind’s web applications allow for very organic search engine methods to be executed by the user, and our web applications are intelligent enough to manage this without any interaction at all. Our adherance to strict web standards allows us to deliver websites that are accessible in any major browser equally, reaching a wider audience than their old website could.
“We have enjoyed working with Inclind, and look forward to working on other projects in the future.” says Dave McGuigan, George & Lynch’s Vice President of Business Development.
This morning Inclind launched StoneTech Crushing, a Salisbury, MD based company who offers the most efficient and economic crushing and screening services to the construction industry. Using cutting edge design techniques and the latest in web standards, Inclind was able to meet and exceed StoneTech’s internet presence that the owners were looking for. The website is fully controllable from its custom designed content management system web application that we offer. StoneTech are also able to collect leads generated by the website into their intranet automatically, helping the staff keep track of who is contacting them.
Initially, the most-noticeable element of this website is the striking background of crushed stone from an actual StoneTech jobsite. This website features sections about StoneTech news, equipment, and even a map with directions. Inclind developed a great, new, photo gallery feature just for this site.
The StoneTech project gallery features photos from past asphalt recycling, concrete crushing, and even demolition projects. Visit the new website to browse the photos from the demolition of the old Salisbury Mall.
As with all of our website applications, full search engine optimization capabilities were implemented as well so anyone looking for their services can find them easily in any major search engine. Inclind’s applications allow for very organic search engine methods to be executed by the user, and our web applications are intelligent enough to manage this without any interaction at all. Our adherance to strict web standards allows us to deliver websites that are accessible in any major browser without hindrance, reaching a wider audience than older methods from a few years ago.
“Inclind’s CMS (content management system) allows us to react quickly to changing market conditions.” says Brian Tregoe, President of Stonetech LLC.

Thanks to Tom Brown for helping me change some parts of the blog layout today. I found an avatar I used years ago just the other day, and wanted to use it because it looks a lot like me. In 15 minutes he redrew it in Adobe Illustrator (so it could be vectorized and resized, retaining scale quality). Size it to the right height and poof, there I am in the top left corner. I also made a favicon and added a background gradient so the site feels a little more 3d than just the flat color it came with. I like this. I plan to make some more visual changes when I get some more free time.
Go here to see more of Tom Brown’s work or here to see Kevin’s personal site.
Today was a pretty busy day, with the eagerly awaited launching of the new version of the Prudential Gallo Realtors website (http://www.prugallo.com). The new version of the site catches it up with its recently upgraded intranet, and introduces a significant number of new features and capabilities that we’re all proud of.
When the day was over, we got down to the next order of business: a proper preemptive bon voyage to one of the most despised burdens of the web development world: Internet Explorer 6.
Today was a bit of a milestone, with Microsoft having announced a decision to roll out Internet Explorer 7 as an automatic upgrade to certain corporate users still using IE 6. For more insight about the roll-out, about why IE 6 sucked so bad, and why the upcoming IE 8 isn’t much better, head over to Kevin’s blog. To celebrate the approaching demise of IE 6, we decided to host an “IE 6 is Dying” party, complete with subs, chili, beer, and of course, an IE 6 pinata/unholy effigy.
Graphics Designer Tom Brown (who has probably been tormented by IE 6 the most, having to constantly come up with creative ways to get IE 6 to render websites correctly) did the honors of annihilating the demon-logo with a wooden handle while Shaun held on for dear life keeping it steady. We certainly hope that someone from Microsoft will stumble upon these pictures and take our frustration to heart when deciding whether or not to make Internet Explorer 8 finally comply with decade-old standards.
In any event, it was a fun end to a productive day.
Transcending the limits of the barriers that held us back, we strive to accept the lessons presented…
Trust is a hard thing… a very hard thing.
Here at Inclind, all of us are highly motivated to grow and achieve and succeed. Our growing client list, the projects and products we’ve created, the talent we attract - these things are strong indicators supporting this assertion. We are a successful and success-driven organization of committed and talented people. We are successful because we have been given the talents and drive to produce and attain.
Successful people are successful because they have learned to be independent, to trust their instincts, to learn and grow, to outpace and outrun the competition. This competitive spirit that is engrained and imbedded in these people has the capacity to create progressively higher levels of attainment. They tend, in time, to learn to trust themselves and to do whatever is required to attain their goals and objectives.
But, how does this independence affect our ability to interact as part of a team? We have learned lessons that have taught us to rely not on external influence or the whims of others, but on ourselves. We have learned to walk away from the weaker link; we have learned to stand alone and tall; we have learned that our success is our responsibility; we have left, in part, the collective ability of humanity in an aggressive pursuit for self-realization and reliance.
Seems, it’s natural, actually. It’s lonely at the top of the food chain. We learn to smile patronizingly at those around us who would offer us advice and suggestions. We learn to succeed at any cost. We learn to stand alone. For as long as we can remember, we were the smartest kid in the room… and the most driven.
But then something changed…
Like attracts like. Brilliance and success attract brilliance and success. Creativity and innovation attract creativity and innovation. Smart and driven people tend to cross paths with other smart and driven people. Occasionally, there is a mutual decision to stay together for a time - as employers, as clients, as employees, as coworkers… as a team – a team moving toward a common goal – a team of creative and motivated independent people.
Dependence in a team of independents…
So, these independent people have chosen to form a team. How can they create cohesiveness, maximize productivity, and reduce stress? There are many answers to this question: cooperation, deference, confidence in the ability of others, recognition of diverse talents, etc. All of these answers though have one thing in common; they all rely on the choice to trust. To cooperate, we must choose to trust that cooperation will yield benefit; to defer to another, we must choose to trust the other won’t take advantage of our exposed throats; to be confident in the abilities of others, we must trust in our own confidence and trust that the other will make good choices and produce decisions and results that won’t harm us or the team. Finally, recognizing the abilities in others requires trusting that another can indeed think as well, produce as productively, and be driven enough, to do a job equally as well or better than we can individually.
Beyond trust in another – trust in the team…
With a spirit of confidence and humility, we can choose to not only trust ourselves and trust others, but to trust the team as a whole. Confidence and humility are not mutually exclusive. We produce at our highest levels, cooperatively and jointly, trusting in the skills and talents and motivation and drive of others and of the collective team…
Trust in the team…
