On July 17th, 2008,  Inclind launched Beracah Homes brand new website. The project was a huge undertaking but was executed quickly utilizing the latest methods in web development and delivered on target for the opening day of Delaware State Fair festivities, where Beracah Homes staff are handing out marketing materials advertising their new website.

Their new website gives Beracah Homes staff the ability to fully manage their website content inside and out. They have the ability to create polls, homes, banners, slideshows, forms/inquiries, as well as upload videos for web streaming. You can view Beracah Homes commercials and clips from their DVD on their website, all in Adobe Flash. The server handles the conversion to Adobe Flash, so all a user has to do is upload the video in MPG, WMV, or Quicktime format. The content management system has been simplified to the point where it is extremely easy for the client to make the changes they want without hassle. We utilized cutting edge tools, custom PHP programming and easy UI for management purposes. The backend for Beracah Homes will also provide their 9 builder partners the ability to direct and share content across their sites as well, which will start launching in August, so look for those too.

“We chose Inclind to totally redesign our website because of their professionalism. They had specialists in each area of web development and design. In addition, their portfolio of work was convincing. We’ve been very pleased with the results with our new and dynamic site. - Roger Collison, Vice President, Beracah Homes, Inc.”

About Beracah Homes:

Beracah Homes, Inc. is a custom designed, modular home construction company located in Greenwood, DE. Pioneers in “off-site, stick-built” construction, Beracah began production in its factory on April 7th, 2003 and was built to deliver quality and value in the new home construction industry. That commitment to quality can be seen in the raw materials that are built into each home. Your Beracah is built with a little more lumber than a typical home constructed entirely on-site, is a lot stronger, and will make you very happy. 

Tom Brown did a revamp of his wife’s website late last year and has recently been featured on Design Meltdown, one of (if not the) biggest sites on the internet for the web design / development industry. He was pretty proud the day he completed it as it works in all major browsers.

Our sites have found their way onto this site before and hopefully the ones we have in the pipeline will make it on up to Design Meltdown as well.

Friday calls, its time to go.

If you’re still using Internet Explorer, it’s primetime to upgrade your browser. Mozilla Firefox is about to release its 3rd edition of their web browser, with many enhancements, new features, higher security and more. If you’re looking to get the most out of your web experience, Mozilla Firefox 3 is -the- best browser to surf the net.

Using the internet should be fun, not a hassle. It’s only going to get better from here. Lets take a look at some of the new features of Firefox 3:

From lifehacker: The newest version of our favorite open source web browser, Mozilla Firefox 3, offers dozens of new features and fixes, but only a handful will make the most dramatic difference in your everyday browsing. After 17 months of alphas and betas, Mozilla’s finally made a feature-complete release candidate available, so it’s time to spotlight the biggest improvements that will make “Gran Paradiso” the browser to beat. Nearly everything in the open-source app has gotten a second look from the minds at Mozilla, from back buttons to bookmarks, address bars to add-ons, passwords to performance, and the changes will make Firefox 3 worth the upgrade come its official release date, slated for sometime next month. Let’s take a look at the 10 best upgrades in Firefox 3, and how they’ll bolster your browsing, after the jump.Note: Firefox 3 hasn’t been officially released yet—a public preview release is available and intended for testers only. While it’s a very stable preview, only use it if you’re willing to deal with bugs and instability as the Mozilla teams ready the official release.

That said, our favorite Firefox 3 features include:

10. Souped-up Add-ons manager

A big part of what makes Firefox so special to power users is its extensibility with extensions, add-ons, plug-ins and themes, and Firefox 3’s Add-ons dialog got the attention it deserved. The Fox’s Add-Ons menu is more robust and intuitive on at least two fronts. You can search and install extensions and themes right from the pop-up box, no browsing required. Also, a new plug-in manager lets you enable and disable third-party helpers like Flash, QuickTime, and anything else that makes content work (and causes you grief).

9. More intuitive interface overall

Mozilla tweaked and updated a whole lot of little things here and there throughout Firefox 3, which amounts to a big overall boost in usability. Most noticeably when you first switch, the Back button only appears on the address bar if there is a page to go back to, and when it does, it’s bigger and easier to click. Users who want to make sites with small text more readable permanently are in luck; Firefox 3 can increase the size of images and text, or just the text, on hard-to-read sites. In addition, Firefox 3 applies favicons more consistently to bookmarks, you can click a site’s favicon to get extended site identification information, you can resize the search box to hold more than two words, and the find-on-page search box automatically grabs the currently selected word, just to name a few new UI improvements.
In the long term, once webapps catch up, Firefox 3 will let you do really neat stuff in your browser, like register your favorite webapps to open certain file types, and access your online data even when you’re not connected to the ‘net. To get a taste, see how you can configure Firefox 3 to launch Gmail for mailto links.

8. Stronger phishing and malware protection

Firefox 3 has stronger filters and protection against malware, phishing sites, cookies, and other tools that compromise privacy and security. A malware warning shows up when you visit sites known to install malicious software, Firefox 3 doesn’t show the content of knock-off sites (like PayPal “Update Your Account” phishing scams) by default, and Firefox 3 checks against Google’s ever-growing blacklist of phishing sites. Now you can feel even better switching your less tech-aware relatives over to the open-source browser.

7. Improved download manager

Never wonder where a download came from, or went to, again. Gran Paradiso’s download manager lets you search through recent files, resume big downloads after a crash or restart, and lets you keep an eye on your transfers in the status bar.

6. Native looks for every system

Your browser is a serious part of your computer time, so having it look like nothing else on your system can be seriously annoying. Firefox’s designers made system integration a priority with this release, and it shows—even Windows XP’s and Vista’s button layouts have subtle differences in color and shading. There’s differences at deeper levels, too, with Cover Flow-type styling in the add-ons manager for OS X, transparencies in key places in Vista and OS X, and other tweaks that make your browser feel like a natural extension of your system.

5. Streamlined “Remember password” handling

No more guessing whether you’re saving the right password or clicking “Cancel” on unnecessary pop-up requests. Gran Paradiso only asks you to utilize its password-saving function once you’re already in and sure everything worked, and it won’t block you from seeing the logged-out version of a page if you don’t want to sign in.

4. Smart bookmarks

Much like iTunes’ Smart Playlists, Firefox 3’s new Smart Bookmarks function can analyze your browsing habits and create lists of links based on it. The default bookmark toolbar only comes with three standards, “Most Visited,” “Recently Bookmarked,” and “Recent Tags” (more on that later), but it’s none too hard to make your own.

3. Places Organizer replaces the Bookmark Manager

Previous versions of Firefox’s bookmark organizer have been pretty utilitarian affairs that make you drag and drop your links around nested folders. With Firefox 3’s new Places Organizer, those with reams of URLs can find them using boolean rule searches and multi-column results, as well as keep them better organized with a tagging system. Better still, you can save those smart searches for when you next need them.

2. Smart Location Bar learns how you browse

Like a personal assistant who telepathically knows when you’re going to need just the right phone number (or Starbucks fix), Firefox 3’s address bar, now dubbed the Smart Location Bar, helps you get to your frequently visited, or recently discovered, sites in super-quick fashion. That application you just read about on Lifehacker, but can’t remember the name? Type “li” into your address bar, and Firefox instantly pulls the relevant sites from your history. The bar also learns through repetition, so the next time you start searching with “li,” it knows you’re looking for Lifehacker, not Linux.

1. Insanely improved performance

It’s not flashy, and it doesn’t have any social networking features, but Firefox 3’s actual performance is the best reason anyone should consider upgrading, or making the switch to the ‘fox. Firefox’s engineers claim that their third major release is 9.3 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 in JavaScript performance, and 2.7 times faster than Firefox 2. This means snappier browser performance when you’re using webapps like Gmail, Remember the Milk, and more. Even more important, especially for Mac users, is the improved memory usage and more than 15,000 improvements that make for a less crash-prone browser. I’ve seen noticeable speed-ups in page loading in Linux, XP, and Vista, but the real reason I’ve switched over to using Release Candidate 1 is that I haven’t had to cross my fingers every time a Flash-based video loads.

As you can tell, we’re completely geeked out about the upcoming Firefox 3 release. For more about the new version of the browser, check out our continuing coverage:

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.

(more…)

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.
