Northland Pioneer College Site wins Silver at Paragon Awards

April 28th, 2010 by Jodi Martens

We love happy clients. We find great satisfaction in knowing our clients are … well, satisfied. But it’s also nice to also be recognized by people who aren’t our clients, by others in the industry. So we were pleased as punch to find out the site we built for Northland Pioneer College (NPC) won Silver in the Paragon Awards, the annual awards presented by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR). The NCMPR represents marketing and PR professionals at community colleges across the United States. This year there were over 1,700 entries, which were judged by more than 75 judges from around the country.

Super Power Your Harvest Reporting & Notifications

April 16th, 2010 by

Harvest is, in our opinion, an indispensable web app for small businesses. It makes it easy to do what most small businesses struggle with: keep track of time and expenses. Harvest has an enviable lineup of features, including the ability to track time while you work, log expenses, invoice clients and more. They also have a great user interface, but the truth is that work happens everywhere and at ever hour, and sometimes it might not be ideal or convenient to go to the website to use the application. Fortunately, the Harvest team is in tune with the needs of small businesses. They created an excellent REST-style (REpresentational State Transfer) API for developers to enable the creation of 3rd-party applications. This opened a whole new world of possibilities regarding what can be done with the data and the service itself. Here at ImageX Media, we decided that a company-branded, reports-style site would work great for our clients and team members.

Announcing Picnik for Drupal

April 15th, 2010 by Benjamin Koether

Editing and enhancing the photos in your Drupal site just got as easy and laid-back as a summer picnic. To bring this about, we’ve just launched a new Drupal module for Google’s newly-acquired online photo editing application, Picnik. Remember when the height of image editing was MS Paint? A tool like Photoshop was only for serious professionals with serious cash, and open source options were just too complicated. But, thankfully, the advance of digital photography brought a wave of tools that made it much easier for amateurs to erase red eyes or rotate images. And now, since many of us keep our images online in Flickr or Picasa, the latest trend is offering image editing as an online application, which only makes sense. Picnik goes beyond the standard resize, crop and red-eye reduction features that limit other applications.
