Now, I’m not one to be easily impressed, but Chris asked me to try out the site (CreditCardMatcher.com) and I’m thoroughly impressed. This does not feel like a WordPress site. It doesn’t feel like a blog. It feels like a full featured, high-production shopping site. There isn’t any compromise in features either. It’s smooth, polished and well done.

Chris then asked me to take a look at the backend of his site. The technology is elegant and super easy to use. Again, I’m just amazed that this is a WordPress site.

Valarie’s is one of the mainstay restaurants that fuels us here at SeaWaves so we were especially glad to design the website. Our greatest hope in starting this project was to capture the friendly and energetic personality of the restaurant’s owner, Valarie. We think we got it just right. Take a look and we think you’ll like what you see.

Eatonweb is the oldest blog directory on the planet. Yep. It was the first one. So the honor of working on a sight with such prestige was a bit daunting.

And after much sweat and blood, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved. It was our biggest development project yet, and while there’s still some tweaking to do, we’re happy with the result.

The idea behind the directory’s “resurrection” was to make a blog directory that matters. There are thousands of directories out there. We wanted to do something different.

We came up with the idea of creating a proprietary blog metric that measures 2 primary aspects of each blog in the directory. First, we measure the perceived influence and strength of each blog . Then, we track the strength over time and we call it a momentum metric.

Why does this matter? Well, for one, it allows blog owners to track the growth or decline of their own blogs. But it also offers blog buyers/sellers a concrete way to evaluate the health of a blog. Further, it allows us to list the most “healthy” blogs first – in other words, it rewards strong, growing sites.

So we’ve set out to create a blog directory that matters, and again, we’re still tweaking the system, but overall, we’re very happy with what we’ve produced!

Creating things is one of the greatest joys in life!

In addition to the beautiful logo and sharp design, we’ve added a prominent spot for video highlights. After all, what’s a sports websites without highlight video!

Go check it out. You’ll like what you see.

And if you do like it (we know you will!) why not have SeaWaves give your website or blog a design overhaul?
