Don Calame is a screenwriter with many film and television projects under his belt. His book “Swim the Fly” is being published in the spring of 2009. In order to generate a little buzz and build an online presence Don needed a web site designed from scratch to showcase his writing career and interests.
The design of the site needed to appeal to the youngish audience the new book was intended for, but still retain adult interest. Don also wanted to do something a little different so we created a very visual home page using images of his personal mementos including items from his childhood such as toys, photographs, and hockey memorabilia. The imagery on the homepage ties into the different sections of the site adding a lot of visual appeal, as well as giving a more intimate, personal feel. The site showcases Don’s lighthearted sense of humour as well.
The site also has a blog, so that Don can keep in touch with his readers on an ongoing basis.
"Hop Studios did an awesome job putting together my author website. They were wonderful to work with, listening to my wants and needs, incorporating my ideas and creating a fun, easy to navigate site. Ever since we went live I've been getting a constant stream of compliments. They take the time to hear what it is you're trying to accomplish, as well as to train you in what you need to do to maintain your site. Through the entire process I felt heard, supported and well taken care of."
