We recently began work for the Greater Gateway Association of REALTORS® new website and logo. So far, just the new logo is up on their site (http://www.gatewayrealtors.com/) plus the link to their old site. We’ve got some cool things planned for this site. It will be a huge improvement over the previous site… 
We’re featured in a cover story about custom software development in the Midwest Technology Journal (formerly PC Journal). The article is about our recent work for Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods where we are building a custom web-based time-card and tracking system that Doug estimates will “…will give me exactly what I need.”
Link to complete article: Faster, Cheaper, Better
Note: we really like Doug’s website, but we did not design it. Our work is on his internal system that his employees will be using on a daily basis.

Nice article at A List Apart on project management and the necessity of understanding of the problem that needs to be solved at the beginning, rather than the end, of a project.
The Problem, the Balloon, and the Four Bedroom House: A List Apart
Many project managers believe a project has a beginning and an end. Everything that happens within those parameters can be dealt with by a methodology and a good framework of processes. What they forget is the emotional core of a project and the questions that need to be asked: Why does this project exist? What benefits will it have? What features will express these benefits? How will it make users more efficient, effective, and happy?
Uploaded the new site template. We’re still adding in the final content, but it should be all online in a day or two.

The next step we’re going to take with the new Arts For the Soul website is to begin a search engine optimization and promotion campaign. So, to kick it off, you might want to visit this arts retreat in Steamboat Springs, Colorado if you crave soul-nourishing inspiration.
Quoting from the website,
Are you looking for a place of inspiration? Then be part of a community of 36 enthusiastic people who aspire to write, paint or play chamber music at a spectacular week long retreat in the charming mountain town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado—in the majestic Rockies.
In addition to the SEO work, we’re going to begin a keyword-based advertising campaign for the site using Google and Overture. This has worked very well for Kristin Joy Pratt Serafini, children’s book author and illustrator (incidentally, who is also scheduled to be one of the instructors at the retreat.
Arts for the Soul is now live! Serafini Studios delivers a new website for John Sant’Ambrogio’s latest venture. John is Principle Cellist for the St. Louis Symphony, and is founding an arts retreat to be held in Steamboat Springs, CO. John’s son-in-law designed the site and Serafini Studios built it out.

ArtsForTheSoul.net is under development and should be ready for unveiling on Monday. The site is for an arts retreat in Steamboat Springs. More on this after we launch it.
Serafini Studios is proud to be hosting the website for the QuickSFV project, written by a friend who has built an excellent application that does one thing and does it well - check the validity of downloaded files. Most of all, QuickSFV is quick! We didn’t design the site, but we may be helping the author work on it in the future.
QuickSFV was designed with one goal … to be quick! Existing SFV file verification programs were slow and cumbersome to use. Most users need to verify files and the quicker, the better. QuickSFV integrates into the Windows Explorer shell and makes it very easy to verify files. Just double-click on the .SFV file and QuickSFV does the rest. QuickSFV also understands several other file verification formats including .CRC, .CSV and .CKZ.
Give it a try if you need to verify downloaded files. And if you like it, consider donating, since the author has spent many hours making this an exceedingly useful little application.
