RALEIGH, NC — Llamawerx is proud to announce the completion of a website redesign and information integration project for Rail Logistics (RRLX). Rail Logistics is a third-party logistics operation specializing in turn-key rail services throughout North America.According to Doug Griswold, CEO of Llamawerx, “Rail Logistics’ goal is to leverage their website in order to streamline their business processes. So the first thing we had to do was put the site on a strong technical footing,” continued Griswold. “We redeveloped the existing site with modern tools, added some foundation work and hosted it on a dedicated server and relational database.”

Once the site was transitioned to the new server, two components were chosen for the initial integration – customer reports and shipping instructions.

First, a set of daily reports was made available to RRLX customers via the website. Previously emailed to individual inboxes, the reports are now centrally located, organized and available via the web. “We’re all inundated with email and this is one small step to improve the distribution and organization of these daily reports,” said Griswold.

Next, integration with a web based rail shipping instruction service provides RRLX customers with a streamlined electronic method for creating their own shipping instructions. “By tightly integrating the branded application into the RRLX website, we’ve eliminated the redundant steps involved with creating the shipping instructions and eliminated the need for users to interact with different railroad systems. We’ve also captured the EDI messages into a database for Rail Logistics’ analysis,” added Griswold.

“Working with clients, we take into consideration their needs, their goals, and their budget,” added Griswold. “Large or small, we find unique solutions to tie it all together.”

RALEIGH, NC — Llamawerx is proud to announce a website redesign for the New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians (NJSOP). With over 700 members, NJSOP is dedicated to advancing the profession of optometry and serving optometrists in meeting the eye care needs of the public.

The redesigned site sports a sleeker, more professional look along with expanded content. According to Doug Griswold, CEO of Llamawerx, “The site focuses on delivering information to the Society’s members in a simple and effective manner. Internet expectations are constantly rising and we wanted to create a site capable of supporting those expanding expectations,” continued Griswold. “A lot of the effort is behind-the-scenes and in the members-only portion of the web site.”

“When we began working with Llamawerx, we had an idea of how we wanted the site to look and feel, but we weren’t sure what steps needed to be taken in order to accomplish this daunting task,” said Rebecca Kelly, NJSOP’s Director of Public Relations. “Working with the Llamawerx team, we have been able to narrow the focus of the site from a loose collection of consumer and member content, to targeted member information.

“Like many professionals, our members need the ability to network with each other, be informed of important developments, as well as know about company-sponsored events,” continued Kelly. “The goal is to keep our members connected with our society, to each other, and to the optometric community, which we feel this site has greatly helped us to accomplish. Llamawerx was able to provide us with a strong foundation for our site, and we look forward to expanding it in the near future.”

“When we work with clients, we take into consideration their needs, their target audience, and their budget,” added Griswold. “Large companies or small businesses, we find unique solutions to tie it all together.”

RALEIGH, NC – August 8, 2005 – Llamawerx proudly announces the launch of their new website, JetsetJr.com. JetsetJr.com is an online community dedicated to traveling with children. The site will enable people to exchange information about traveling with children.“If you have ever tried to plan a trip with your kids there’s always some information you’re looking for but can’t find,” said Llamawerx’s Doug Griswold. “When my family traveled to Thailand last year with our 18 month old son we searched all over for what to take and how to do it. That was the first inspiration for JetsetJr. Now, we’ve built an online community where travelers can post your questions and let others help you out.”

Discussion boards, free links and a weblog are part of the package along with an online store. The online store recommends age-appropriate items for kids and their parents to make the trip more enjoyable and educational.

“Today’s children are bombarded with cheap toys having limited value. As a mother and traveler, I’m on the lookout for travel stuff that will be entertaining, educational and small,” said Judy Gerard. “We’ve tried to select items for JetsetJr that meet these requirements and are age-appropriate too.”
