One Book, Every Young Child Logo and WebsiteTwelve libraries in southeastern Connecticut came together to organize a program that encourages parents and caregivers to read early and often to their preschool children.  “One Book, Every Young Child” features a series of events that focuses around one picture book every year.

Using bold, bright colors, Brown Bear Creative designed the logo and website for the program.  The website showcases the book of the year, incorporating the storybook’s illustrations into the design.  Powered on the WordPress platform,  the site can be easily updated using an intuitive, browser-based admin panel.  A site administrator can edit any page of the site, including the homepage, news, and calendar.

Jog New London County Website

Jog New London County WebsiteRole: Web Designer / Web Developer

Jog New London County is an online resource that offers descriptions, photos, and custom-drawn maps of running routes in Southeastern Connecticut. Panorama shots of scenic places to run are showcased in the masthead, invoking a “local” feel.

Aside from running routes, the site also provides upcoming local race information. All the race listings are housed in a database and editable via a Content Management System (CMS). Outdated races automatically disappear from the website. In this way, race listings stay fresh, current, and easily accessible.

Brown Bear also improved the site’s usability by including a search function at the top of every page.
