Boulder Remodeling Contractor Melton Construction Inc. Changes Name to Melton Design Build

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) August 16, 2012

Residential and commercial remodeling contractor Melton Construction Inc., headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, announced today that it has changed its trade name to Melton Design Build. According to Ty Melton, president of the company, Our company was one of the first design build remodeling firms serving Boulder and the surrounding areas. We started offering design services shortly after we began doing business in 1993. Our new name, Melton Design Build, better reflects the full spectrum of architectural design and construction services we provide our clients. The company has also changed its web address to http://www.MeltonDesignBuild.com to reflect its new name.

Asked why the company uses the design build approach, Rick Johnson, Melton Design Builds general manager, explained The design build approach to remodeling is an easier, more convenient and less complex remodeling process for our clients. He continued, We find most homeowners and business owners find it very appealing. Its been our experience that for most types of remodeling projects, the design build approach we use is simpler, faster and can provide clients greater value. One of the reasons is that the ability to design and build a project to a specific budget is enhanced with this method.

With the design build remodeling process, the property owner selects a single design build remodeling contractor that works with the owner from the initial design discussions through to completion of the construction on the project. The design build contractor provides both the design and construction services. Selecting a design build remodeling contractor is different than selecting a construction-only contractor as it involves evaluating the contractors ability to provide the quality of design as well as the quality of construction the property owner is looking for.

Mr. Melton explained some of the benefits he believes design build offers. With design build the remodeling contractor designs the project so that it can be built within the agreed target budget. Since our staff architect who is designing the project knows construction costs intimately, the design is developed to fit in the overall design and construction budget from the beginning. And, as the contractor is responsible to the client for the entire process, if there is a problem with the design or construction, it is up to the design build contractor to resolve it. No time or money is wasted figuring out who is responsible to fix the problem. Its just a lot neater and simpler.

While not well known in some parts of the country, the trend towards design build remodeling has been growing over the past 25+ years. In many parts of the country, it is the dominant approach for many types of remodeling projects. Many of the design awards given by the remodeling industrys various competitions go to design build remodeling firms. Melton has won several of those awards for both commercial and residential remodeling projects.

Melton Design Build (formerly known as Melton Construction) headquartered in Boulder CO was founded in 1993 by Ty Melton. Melton Design Build provides architectural design, interior design and construction services to both homeowners and business owners primarily in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Niwot, Gunbarrel, Erie, Lyons, Superior, and parts of the Denver, Colorado area.

Typical home remodeling projects for the company include: kitchen and bath remodeling, single and multi-level home additions including pop-tops, whole home renovations, exterior remodeling, and green or energy-related remodeling. For its commercial clients, Melton Design Build remodeling projects often include professional, medical and dental offices, retail and restaurants and most types of light commercial remodeling.

In addition to other awards and honors, Melton Design Build was named one of Americas Top Remodelers in 2011 by Professional Remodeler Magazine and was named a Big50 remodeling firm by Remodeling Magazine. The company is a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Boulder Green Building Guild, Center for Resource Conservation, the Boulder Chamber of Commerce and other trade and business organizations. The company is involved with or sponsors a variety of local civic groups.







Chicago Internet Marketing Company Announces Affordable Website Design Offering

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

August 1st will mark the official launch of SmartSites, a new concept in affordable website design from the Chicago Internet Marketing company SmartROI Consulting. Citing the need for something more sophisticated than a generic template site and less expensive than custom web design, SmartROI is rolling out the new service on their website and will begin scheduling consultations immediately.

Traditionally, websites created from the ground up have had a very high cost because of the number of hours that it takes to produce the graphics, coding, and other components. The alternative for cost-conscious businesses has always been to go without, to keep an outdated site (both in style and functionality), or to resort to very unprofessional and generic looking template sites.

What we have done is assemble a very flexible set of the most commonly used layouts, and then we listen to the client and customize each project according to their business needs, says Elijah Litscher, Owner of SmartROI Consulting. By repurposing a basic structure, a small business can save hundreds or thousands of dollars on their website investment.

To accomplish this, SmartROI uses modified WordPress themes that have already been created and tested. These WordPress themes can then be tailored to each client, meaning that no SmartSite custom website design will ever look the same. They are each as unique as the businesses that we work with, says Litscher.

WordPress is an open-source content management website design platform, the basis for almost 15 percent of the top million websites in the world, making up nearly one quarter of all new websites created every day. The main benefits of using the WordPress platform are its content management system, its reliability when it comes to being search-engine friendly, and its ability to be rendered universally on mobile devices and tablets.

According to Litscher, Since many of our clients also are in the need of SmartROIs Internet marketing services, it makes sense for us to deliver our SmartSites on a platform that makes it easy for businesses to build great content on their own. Search engines like Google are rewarding sites with great content and modern design with high rankings in their search results, and that can mean a lot of revenue for small businesses.

SmartROI Consulting is a Chicago website design company and Internet marketing service provider. For more information, visit http://www.smartroiconsulting.com or call 312-569-9449.

With the economic downturn, the building industry suffered greatly and so did its customers, says Robert, principal and founder of Knaak Design Group.

PoolWorx is a free service we offer homeowners, so they can get the high-quality, well-constructed pool they want, but avoid the hassle, headaches and pain of buyers remorse that often comes with trying to go through the pool building process themselves. We help our customers through the process every step of the way. Its the 411 on pool building and remodeling.

(PRWEB) July 27, 2012

Software training provider InfiniteSkills has announced its new Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial Video Course as a breakthrough solution for new users trying to learn professional graphic design techniques for print and the Web.

Narrated by author and professional software trainer Andy Anderson, the course emphasizes real world workflows and strategies for producing complete projects. After explaining the role of vector graphics versus raster imaging, Anderson goes through the Illustrator interface, pointing out key menus and panel management tips that can save time in any type of work.

Adobe Illustrator Training Video Course – Video Tutorials for Beginners

Next, the Adobe Illustrator training looks at object selection, showing how to use the lasso tool, magic wand and fine selection techniques to manipulate project elements onscreen. After going over color management, strokes, gradient and paths, Anderson devotes entire chapters to working with vector shapes, using the pen tool and effectively working with type, from paragraph formatting options to converting individual letters into outlines.

The Illustrator CS6 tutorial then covers layer management, paths and opacity masks, and publishing options. With advice for users at all levels, the Illustrator CS6 training also includes a full chapter of ‘Down and Dirty Illustrator Tricks’ that goes through time-saving shortcuts and effective workarounds to achieve visual effects.

“Andy has been using Illustrator since it’s earliest versions, but because of his experience as an educator, he doesn’t forget what it’s like to be a beginner, either,” said Chris Johns, content specialist for InfiniteSkills. “This lets him show off some really fantastic functionality, while also thoroughly covering the core skills that everyone needs to know.”

The Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial Video is the fourth training course the company has released for Creative Suite CS6, with more to follow for each major application. Within the Illustrator tutorial video itself, there are lessons on using the program in conjunction with other Adobe programs, such as Flash CS6.

“Based on in-house studies, we find that customers are really interested in workflows bringing together multiple applications,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. “These programs are released together for a reason, and we want our Adobe training to prepare users for the results-driven world of real design.”

The complete Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tutorial Video course is available from the InfiniteSkills website for $ 99.95 USD. It can be purchased on DVD-ROM or as a full download, with buying and shipping options available throughout the world. Both versions of the training are Mac and Windows compatible and include accessible work files that match the lessons featured onscreen.
