<p>In late October 2010, Rosodigital Creative Solutions was commissioned to revise the <a title="Night Optics USA | Night Vision &amp; Thermal imaging Manufacturer" href="http://www.nightoptics.com" target="_blank">Night Optics USA</a> website &amp; company image. We immediately saw a need to update the looks and functionality of their website which was about 5 years old and also all of their ad &amp; marketing materials.</p>
<p>Early in the process we proposed several options for their website new design before settling on something that was all that they were looking for.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><div id="attachment_918" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 257px"><a href="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Screen-shot-2011-03-10-at-7.19.10-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-918" title="Night Optics USA | Home page" src="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Screen-shot-2011-03-10-at-7.19.10-PM-247x300.png" alt="Screenshot of Night Optics USA Homepage redesign" width="247" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Refreshed and ready to grow</p></div>
<p><a title="Night Optics USA" href="http://nightoptics.com" target="_blank">Night Optics USA</a> is a manufacturer for Night Vision and Thermal Imaging equipment. They have hundreds of dealers all over the world so their goal was to take the website and company in a whole new direction. The focus going forward is to shift away from a retail website into a corporate site with ecommerce as a secondary. Their goal is to empower their dealers and distributers by improving their own visibility as a company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/RSDHeader_summer09.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-784" title="RSDHeader_summer09" src="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/RSDHeader_summer09.png" alt="RSDHeader_summer09" width="455" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Over the course of the last month and change we have been retooling our <a href="http://rosodigital.com" target="_blank">website</a> design. Our goals were simple. Cleaner look, more functionality, more expandability, convenience &amp; substance. Utilizing some new features with the help of <a href="http://jquery.com" target="_blank">jQuery</a> we are able to display interactive elements for our users without the need to click &amp; open new windows or boxes. Though this is nothing new, we believe that this element will save our viewers valuable time. We also added a header &amp; footer complete with all of the links currently available on our website which will make navigation much easier. There are a host of new features to talk about but none of that really matters without clients to provide service to.</p>
<p>New for 2009: <a href="http://rosodigital.com/promos.htm" target="_blank">design promotions</a> ~ we are rolling out new incentives that will greatly benefit new, current &amp; even non-clients. Here is the breakdown!</p>

<li>Our premium all inclusive web hosting is now only $99/year was $144/year</li>
<li>Beautiful websites from scratch &#8211; starting at only $499</li>

<p><a href="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-12.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-692" title="shots-12" src="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-12.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="509" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-679" title="shots-11" src="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-11.jpg" alt="" width="452" height="260" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-12.jpg"></a><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-692" title="shots-12" src="http://www.rosodigital.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shots-12.jpg" alt="" width="0" height="0" />What a great week this has been! We have seen so many positives here at rosodigital.com. Obama, Hamilton, and now we can claim victory, though on a much smaller scale. Our Web Hosting partner <strong>Millennium Systems</strong> holds contests from time to time for their design partners. Its their way of saying thanks for keeping business flowing with happy customers. In the 4.5 years that we have enjoyed our partnership, rosodigital.com have entered a few contests with little luck. On Thursday, November 6th 2008, we claimed victory. <strong>MS {Millennium Systems}</strong> decided that their t-shirt design needed a revamp. Rosodigital stepped in with 5 designs, then we waited. The announcement, to be made on November 1, was overshadowed by the excitement of the Presidential Elections, so we didn&#8217;t receive the news until Thursday. </p>
<p>While its great to win something we are more happy that our design will be circulated throughout the world to <strong>MS</strong> customers. </p>
<p>So what did we win. We got our choice of an Apple iPhone, Apple iPod Touch or a gift card to some other gadget retailer. </p>
<p>[poll id="11"]</p>
<p>I want to say thanks to Brad Davis &amp; all of the guys @ <strong>Millennium Systems</strong> for being the best hosting company ever. Even after nearly 5 years, I could not be happier. </p>
<p><strong>Other designs not chosen //</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So as many know I have been hard at work to get my household swapped over from PC based to Apple based. So far everything has gone exceptionally smooth. I owe a great deal of credit to my general computer genius which helped me breeze through things that most would have just given up on.</p>
<p>Here is a before shot of my makeshift work area that I was using for about a month while all that junk was for sale:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://api.ning.com/files/SidkWMA3dnucOGRvP0wY7iysCGecfMflh*DUUenrwQAweHGOr6FTb5cEYolD4bv9OGmV5bgxNZ2uCZL02vQxv6ISjPJea0Wy/DSC03581.JPG" alt="" width="430" height="322" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>What a mess right. this is the downsized, unplugged version of my old setup, and its still a mess. The entire system sucked over 1000 watts fairly constantly, had about 35 wires snaking all over, and was just big and ugly. Not representative of me or the type of business I run.</p>
<p>After visiting my cousin in NYC in May, I got to see first hand that the iMac was powerful enough to handle my graphics software and normal everyday needs. The all in one design consumed a max of 280 watts at peak, and was elegant&#8230;. sexy even.</p>
<p>I did not want to invest another $2500 straight up to switch over from PC to Mac so I decided to put &#8220;Everything&#8221; up for sale.</p>
<p>in the time leading up to me selling &#8220;that old crap&#8221; I mapped out exactly what I wanted to do with my home network and computing system.</p>
<p><strong>A little background</strong> - <em>I had been jumping back and forth between vista and XP, I was tired of both, but they ran smoothly on my equipment. windows or systems running through windows was loading up my network, even when not downloading causing my modem to crash often.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/imac/">Primary iMac</a><br /> <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/">Secondary MacBook Pro</a> &#8211; both with the ability to screen share or remotely access eachother.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/">Time Capsule</a> &#8211; &#8220;The wireless cloud&#8221; &#8211; bluetooth keyboard and mouse;<br /> an HP wifi All in one printer and Time Capsule wireless router/storage device.</p>
<p>Note: I hacked the time capsule to act as a wireless external hardrive, while leaving space for backing up the computer via Time Machine. This is kinda sorta, not that easy, but it is worth voiding the warranty. Having this device makes it possible keep my large photography files, graphics &amp; old or retired projects, etc off of my iMac&#8217;s hard drive and easily accessible from any device connected to my network, including the iphones.</p>
<p>So with Wireless success achieved I picked up a new more comfortable desk last weekend and this is the finished product&#8230;I like the iMacs internal speakers, but I love the deep full sound of big speakers. The only problem is the wire clutter&#8230;So I&#8217;m fighting an internal battle&#8230;Should I ditch the speakers in favor of clutter free bliss or deal with it and enjoy my sounds. I&#8217;m torn.</p>
<p><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/SidkWMA3dntir45qAS6AOvQxZcpXJZjlAr8MtNz-fE1nTKW0luaHAbzKBI0OVglssA7PNnfCyOZGKnBFl3rw0iHkFiXzipqD/DSC03687.JPG" alt="" width="435" height="326" /></p>
<p>still a bit cluttered but I&#8217;m working on it. I couldn&#8217;t be happier&#8230;Apple makes great products and I love my gadgets.</p>
