We are happy to announce a new respon­sive web­site for Susan Verde! Susan Verde recently pub­lished a new children’s book via Abrams Books called ‘The Museum’. It’s about a girl’s adven­ture through an Art Museum that cul­mi­nates into a excit­ing explo­ration of cre­ative inspi­ra­tion when the girl is con­fronted with the excite­ment over express­ing her own piece of art. The book has won­der­ful illus­tra­tions by Peter H. Reynolds, and has already gar­nered great reviews.

Susan is a tal­ented author with a vig­or­ous cre­ative spirit. We’ve had a great time work­ing with her to cre­ate a web­site that is easy for her to man­age and flex­i­ble enough to enable the pre­sen­ta­tion of her cre­ative ideas. Built on the Word­Press plat­form, the respon­sive site fea­tures a cus­tom Word­Press theme that allows her to manip­u­late con­tent using prin­ci­ples found in more tra­di­tional CMS plat­forms, yet still enjoy the ease and famil­iar­ity of blog­ging that Word­Press does so well. Her site is opti­mized for SEO and opti­mized for all devices and browsers includ­ing mobile.

We rec­om­mend head­ing over to her site at www.susanverde.com, to check out all the fun arti­cles she is shar­ing that will inspire you to be cre­ative. This is manda­tory advice if you have chil­dren. We wish Susan Verde and her new book much success!

We are happy to announce a new respon­sive web­site for Merus Cap­i­tal! A ven­ture cap­i­tal firm based in Palo Alto, CA, Merus Cap­i­tal focuses on seed and Series A star­tups based in Sil­i­con Val­ley.

Merus Capital’s new respon­sive web­site is a hybrid cms built on the Sil­ver­Stripe Frame­work with a Word­Press blog­ging com­po­nent. Serv­ing their unique B2B needs, a great empha­sis was made in mak­ing the site scal­able and easy to man­age. In addi­tion to man­ag­ing their own con­tent, we have made a plat­form for them to man­age their port­fo­lio and dis­trib­ute news and social media con­tent gen­er­ated from the spe­cific com­pa­nies within their port­fo­lio. This plat­form ensures that the site is up-to-date at all times with the lat­est news, and fur­ther­more, the respon­sive design ensures that this con­tent is enjoy­able across all devices.

Merus Cap­i­tal is a great bunch of guys who know what they are doing, we here at Be Bet­ter wish them and their col­leagues great success!

We are proud to announce Slice Magazine’s new respon­sive web­site! Based in Brook­lyn, NY, Slice is a non-profit bi-annual print mag­a­zine focused on the lit­er­ary arts. Hav­ing suc­cess­fully grown their reader base by serv­ing the local com­mu­nity with cov­er­age of some of the best lit­er­ary tal­ents, they have grown to enjoy world­wide recog­ni­tion as they con­tinue to fea­ture best-selling and prize win­ning authors from around the globe. Their new web­site reflects this growth by redefin­ing their pres­ence online and mak­ing it eas­ier for peo­ple to sub­scribe or pur­chase back issues. The web­site pro­vides a plat­form for the dis­tri­b­u­tion of sup­ple­men­tal con­tent not avail­able in the bi-annual printed issues and also a facil­ity for keep­ing fans of lit­er­a­ture up-to-date with news and events of inter­est to the indus­try in New York City.

Slice’s new web­site, www.slicemagazine.org, is a full blown CMS built on the Sil­ver­Stripe plat­form. The Sil­ver­Stripe plat­form has allowed us to cus­tomize the CMS to meet Slice’s spe­cific needs with event and con­fer­ence reg­is­tra­tion, e-commerce in the form of subscription/back issue orders, and pub­lish­ing arti­cles for dis­tri­b­u­tion. The site is opti­mized for SEO and adhere’s to respon­sive web design prin­ci­ples that allow for enjoy­ment and use on any device includ­ing mobile.

We at Be Bet­ter Stu­dio enjoyed build­ing this site and look for­ward to ensur­ing it’s suc­cess on the web!

We are excited about the launch of NuoDB’s first prod­uct! On Tues­day, Jan­u­ary 15, NuoDB will hold a live stream event of their launch. There will be sev­eral pre­sen­ta­tions and announce­ments that will be sure to thrill any­one who has ever worked with data­bases, or had to develop a prod­uct that needs secure, effi­cient and scal­able data stor­age. NuoDB is an inno­v­a­tive cloud data­base solu­tion that promises to her­ald in a new age of data­base technology.

We here at Be Bet­ter Stu­dios have worked closely with the team at NuoDB to help cre­ate a brand that is rec­og­niz­able and fresh. As we have had the won­der­ful oppor­tu­nity to watch them grow and suc­ceed, it means a lot to us to see their prod­uct finally take flight. We are very proud of their achieve­ments and  look for­ward to the new launch! We wish NuoDB much success!
