Blue Flame Consulting is proud to announce the launch of Spend Save and Give (SSG)
www.spendsaveandgive.com SSG is primarily a fund raising site for Charities, Churches and Non Profit organizations. Charities, Churches and Non Profit organizations can come to the website and list their organizations in a free searchable directory. There is also a section for businesses, both local and national, to create a webpage within the site, to advertise their business. Users who come to the website can choose a charity of their choice, along with searching coupons and/or specials from businesses and create a coupon online. All businesses will donate a percentage of the sale, from the coupon used, to the users charity of choice.
Blue Flame Consulting was presented with a business plan from which the website came to life. Our first approach was developing the initial branding for the company to include, Logo, Fonts, Colors, and a Tag line. From there our designers created the look and feel of the website. Once done, our highly skilled development team created the functionality needed to give businesses, charities, churches and groups the ability to register and create their own page within the website. Video integration was also done to allow users to understand the purpose of the website from the owner. Businesses may register and create a page on the website by subscribing to a monthly membership fee. In order for this to happen, Blue Flame Consulting created the ability for secure credit card transactions to take place online. The last aspect of development was generating a PDF that has the ability to be Emailed, downloaded or printed with the charity, business and coupon on it. This website represents Blue Flame Consulting’s full capabilities to include Custom Branding, Custom Website Design, and Custom Website Development.
The Tampa Bay University of Kentucky Alumni Club came to us to help get a more updated, easier to manage site in place so they could get information to their members more easily and be able to manage on their own. They requested an updated design, with some functionality to allow them to send regular newsletters to their members.
A newsletter system was setup and a large number of their emails were imported in from excel. The newsletter system also allows the users to unsubscribe if they no longer want to get the newsletter.
During the course of the project, an idea formed on showing visitors to the site what the weather difference was between Lexington, KY (obviously where the University is) and our own sunny Tampa, FL. A weather module was added to the site with data fed to it by weather.com showing the current weather conditions in Lexington, KY and Tampa, FL. I believe it was to make others jealous of the lovely Tampa weather. However, those of you in Tampa know lately it has been a bit colder than we in Florida prefer.
This site was done as an initial phase 1 type of project. The initial web presence if you would. Going forward, we hope to work with uktampabay.com to add e-commerce functionality for alumni to sign up for club events, purchase merchandise, etc. and continue to add features that will keep their alumni informed and engaged.
