We’re excited to announce the launch of Elisa Zied.com. Through her work as a nutrition consultant, author, writer, and spokesperson, Elisa Zied has become a familiar, well-respected source for nutrition, diet, and lifestyle information. We were thrilled to get to work with her to redesign and build her website and blog.

Elisa is a delightful person and was a joy to work with. It’s no wonder she is so very popular in nutrition circles, as a TV guest, and at speaking engagements. In addition to Elisa, on this project we had the pleasure once again of working with Howard Mann of Brickyard Partners. Howard is an expert at, among other things, helping folks to define their objectives and then mapping out the course of action in detail. So when he and Elisa came to us, they had a clear idea of what was to be done and what the results should be.

Like most of our projects, this one was a team effort; as the design and front-end development reins for this project were taken by Angela Conlon while R.A. Ray accomplished the CMS integration, content population, and launch.

Last week we were thrilled to launch the Brickyard Partners website. For some time, Howard Mann has been providing varied ideas & execution services under a couple of brand names for the distinct services, and recently he chose to consolidate things under one brand: Brickyard Partners.

Many people know Howard from his widely acclaimed book, Your Business Brickyard. It’s a treasure trove of advice for business owners and a treatise on getting back to the basics. In it, Howard reminds us of the fun we used to have (or could have) running a business and he outlines how to cut the crap and make your business more fun to run. Howard’s experience running a large business (and slogging through the not-so-fun times, and having to find his own way through) has given him clear insights into what can go wrong …and what steps to take to regain the fun and the excellence.

In talking with Howard before working with him we found a strong kinship with his philosophy and an affinity for his approach to things. We clicked. Anyway, we’ve worked with Howard on 3 projects thus far and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Can’t wait to do more. On this particular project, Angela Conlon did the design wizardry and R.A. Ray worked his magic with some custom scripting and WordPress integration. Go team!

Howard’s ideas & execution have helped many companies find a better way and his lectures and presentations have given countless people the courage and understanding they need to turn things around for themselves. On his new site, he seeks to share the profits of his experience and perhaps create a few ripples in the pond. We were very happy to be a part of launching that effort.
