RoobarbTile Homepage

We have recently completed development on the RooBarb Tile website and ecommerce solution.  Check out these masterpieces at http://www.roobarbtile.com/.  This was a fun website to work on because of the different types of order options available and the unique products being sold.

Southland Healthcare Center – Lufkin

MasseyMedia was also retained by the Ensign Group to network their recently purchased nursing home here in Lufkin – Southland Care Center.  We were very pleased to work with these professionals as they strive to create a better living community for their residents.  Our work included rewiring all network drops and running new cabling for additional drops.  In addition, we were able to work with their corporate IT team to install Aruba Networks wireless controllers and other essential networking components.

Randall Medical Clinic – Lufkin, TX

In addition to adding the Ensign Group as a client, we are very excited to be able to add the Randall Medical Clinic as a new client.  MasseyMedia will be utilized to manage the internal network, troubleshoot computer issues, and help with day-to-day IT issues as they arise. 

On the Horizon

We at MasseyMedia are excited for the upcoming months as we have a few new projects beginning and some other opprotunities becoming available.  Keep you eyes here as we work to increase the MasseyMedia footprint in the Lufkin area and work on new web projects throughout the United States and abroad.

Again, congratulations to you guys over at Spectrum. It has been a pleasure working with you!

MasseyMedia is pleased to announce the launch of the PhyllisZulloDesigns.com website. We worked closely with Katherine Frank Creative to design and build this website for Phyllis Zullo – a brilliant custom jewelry designer. The site utilizes some “fancy” tabbing techniquies to allow the user to feel like they are browsing each piece.

The client requested simple PayPal integration with custom field configuration for the eCommerce component of the site. It was a pleasure workign with both Katherine Frank Creative and Phyllis as we hand-crafted this website.

After a few months of hard work, user testing, and long hours of coding and debugging, we are happy to announce the launch of the SkateliteExpress.com store. This stire was built from the ground up to provide a quick and easy method to purchase Skatelite, the ideal surface material for indoor or outdoor ramps.

We worked closely with Mike Mapp of RampTech, Inc. to create this site. The site uses Quickbooks Merchant Services to process online credit card orders. MasseyMedia also used the incredible API from ABF Freight to integrate order tracking and delivery notifications.

Visit the site and let us know what you think. And in the words of Mike Mapp and RampTech, “Skate Hard!”

We have been busy these past few months. Working hard to keep up with the amount of work coming in. We currently are working on:

Lufkin ISD
We have been working closely with the Lufkin ISD to create an online application to allow incoming students to apply for accelerated and dual-language programs. The system also includes an advanced administrative backend utilizing cutting-edge technologies to allow for quick and timely management of the applications. The system has been designed to be robut and to eliminate an abundance of paper from the application process. Automated emails, instant approval/review/decline options, and other features are packing this new system.   We will be launching this application around May 5th.

Ramptech – SkateliteExpress.com
Ramptech came to use a few months ago with a desire to integrate ABF Freight Shipping and Quickbooks Merchant Services into their existing website to promote Skatelite. We have since begun creating a separate SkateliteExpress.com website that focuses solely on the skatelite product. This system includes ABF Freight tracking, instant quotes, and document retrieval using ABF’s transparent links system. The system also allows for real-time credit card transactions on our PCI compliant servers. The backend allows Ramptech to keep track of customer order and sends automated emails to customers updating them on their order status.  The SkateliteExpress.com website will be active around May 15th.

VisitLufkin
The Lufkin CVB came to use a few weeks back and wanted to work on a redesign of the current VisitLufkin.com site. We have been working on an updated front page as well as a more streamlined navigation system. In addition, the site will receive a facelift and will be “cleaner” with less noise and more focus on content. Check out their blog!   You can look for the new facelift towards the end of May.

Gaming Industry Observer
We have been working hard to complete the redesign of the Gaming Industry Observer website.  MasseyMedia has worked closely with the Spectrum Gaming group to design, develop, and implement a new newsletter management system that helps better manage subscriptions for its industry leading publication – “Michael Pollock’s Gaming Industry Observer“.  The new system will allow customers to manage their subscription accounts online, renew, subscribe, and purchase single issues direct from the website.  This site will be launching around May 15th.

In addition to the above projects, we have been working diligently on a few others that are not quite ready to be announced. We will be posting more information about the projects in the future.

We welcome Hirst as a client and look forward to working with them on launching a new website created from their design and providing web and email hosting.
