We recently had an opportunity to redesign a website and ecommerce cart for Danielle and Company, an award-winning manufacturer of contemporary organic products for the bath, body and home.
Any time we work with ecommerce, our primary goal is always to facilitate transactions – ensure customers find the information and products they’re looking for quickly and guaranteeing a positive user experience during throughout the checkout process. It certainly helps when the products being sold carry the reputation for quality that Danielle’s do.
Owner Danielle Fleming is an expert in the effect scent can have on mood and she uses her expertise to create soaps, candles and beauty products that enhance mood and well-being.
We developed a platform that showcases Danielle’s unique products, along with her knowledge of scent and her commitment to sound environmental practices. We also provided Danielle with blog functionality allowing her a new level of interaction with her customers and the ability to share her enthusiasm for the products she creates.
Visit the Danielle and Company site and have fun browsing her fantastic products.

After founding and building BlackOut Design into Northeastern Pennsylvania’s leading interactive agency, BlackOut President Jack Reager likes to support other local entreprenuers.
In conjunction with the Great Valley Technology Alliance Business Plan competition, BlackOut offers its logo design and branding services, free of charge, to competition winners. We help these upstart local companies develop a custom brand and logo that allows them to put their best foot forward as they enter the marketplace.
We developed a branding package for Cognition Media and its product, Minerva. The Cognition plan was prepared by University of Scranton students Joseph Casabona, Matthew Pfahl and Kristen Said and involves the design and development of a content management system specifically for high schools to manage their websites.
After a few design iterations, these are the logos we settled on with the Cognition team. It was a pleasure working with Cognition and we wish them continued success in the future.

To add to the long list of websites developed by Blackout Design, we recently rolled out the carpet for the demo of Hydro4ge, a fourth generation development environment.

Hydro4ge is a Platform as a Service that offers an online database application that is easy to build and manage in very little time. To find out more information and take a closer look at the demo, visit www.hydro4ge.com.

We may specialize in web design and strategy, but BlackOut is just as adept at providing print solutions. We recently helped The InPact Group ensure they always make the right first impression with BlackOut-designed business cards.
InPact offers project management, business grant writing, business plan writing, business sustainability planning and organizational training and development services.
The BlackOut-designed business cards reflect to the professionalism and focus of the InPact Group as a whole.

A few years ago, BlackOut was invited to help develop and market an exciting community development initiative, Rediscover Scranton. We’ve remained involved with the program and recently we had an opportunity to reflect upon how much Rediscover Scranton has grown during a refresh of our initial site design.
Rediscover Scranton is an initiative to promote the Greater Scranton area and its educational, cultural and business assets to professionals with ties to the area. They came to us looking for a site refresh that gave greater access to the full range of news they provide on the people, places and businesses that make up the Greater Scranton area. The new site design would also incorporate a BlackOut-designed blog, as well as information on their new partnership with POWER! Scranton.
POWER! Scranton is one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s leading networking and social organizations for young professionals so the partnership with Rediscover Scranton was a natural fit.
Check out the results of BlackOut’s work at Rediscover Scranton or the Rediscover Scranton blog.

BlackOut Art Director Phil Barket was invited to give back to his alma mater last week when Marywood University asked Phil to review the senior portfolios of graduating art students.
Phil was one of just four regional art director/editors invited chosen to review the Marywood seniors’ work and conduct interviews with the students.
The goal of the review was to equip the graduating students with interview experience as they prepare to enter the work force and to provide them feedback on their work from established professionals in the art/design industry.

This Earth Week, we’re focusing on our BlackOut clients who’ve made a commitment to environmental responsibility in pursuing their business goals.
Foremost among those is Cambrian Biotechnologies, maker of organic agricultural, health and beauty and animal products, all created from Ecklonia maxima kelp. Cambrian’s mission statement says it all:
“The Earth is ours to cherish”
Founder Stephen Pheiffer is a pioneer in the field of kelp processing and his commitment has remained the same since he started Cambrian – to offer uniquely effective products made from only natural, organic materials.
Cambrian products can help farmers make the transition to organic farming or help you go green in your own home garden or backyard.
