THE FUSIONCORP design bLOG

Lexington, KY - Though one of the few Property Valuation Administrators in Kentucky to have any sort of property records available online, the Fayette County PVA is launching its new website that builds on the interactivity and usability of its outgoing site.

On the existing website once an address was searched and viewed on a map, users could not click to see values of neighboring properties without starting a new search. But on the new site, currently in beta testing at http://www.fayette-pva.com, the user now has the ability to take a virtual walk down a street of property value data.

Company creates new, local look for Race for Cure materials

Longtime Lexington supporters of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure may have noticed a difference in the breast cancer group's promotional materials this year.

The organization got a major boost when Lexington's Fusioncorp Design donated its services to produce billboards, fliers, T-shirts and so forth.

"They have hearts of gold and are ready and willing to step up to any challenge," said Mary Allison Belshoff, executive director of the Susan G. Komen affiliate in Lexington. "They do it in such a giving and wonderful manner."

Community Infused

Lexington, KY - Fusioncorp Design Mediahouse, a Lexington-based Web development and graphic design shop, has found a great deal of demand for its media skills and creativity — not only on the part of paying clients, but also from a variety of local nonprofits.

One example is the Lexington affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"Mary Allison Belshoff (executive director of the local organization) came to us and asked what we could do for the cause," said Tim Raymer, one of the principals and creative directors at Fusioncorp Design. "She wanted to do things like posters, billboards, flyers, T-shirts — the whole gamut."

To date, Fusioncorp has invested about $17,000 in donated services to the internationally known breast cancer campaign, much of it to promote the public's support of and participation in Lexington's 2011 Race for the Cure on Oct. 15. The reason the company does it is simple, according to Raymer.

Okay, First let me start by saying I never knew the actual name of this amazing art movement but have always been a huge fan of the style and design of steampunk. What is steampunk?

Fusioncorp is so happy to introduce a new website to the design fold! Finding a good plant nursery website on the "iNtEr-NeT"- robot voice can be a hard task. Not that many have tried or that you might find a few out there but the reality is that it is rare. Plant Nurseries websites are a difficult simply because there is so much product being sold. We think that not only have we simplified the multitiered navigation issues but did it with the flare and uniqueness that is Wilson Nurseries.

Fusioncorp has always been fascinated by the use of typography in design. With so much riding on the visual age most often design firms can reduce the importance of typography but not here. Here we know that type and content is KING and all eles follows suit. Take a look at what we feel is the top 10 most effective uses of design and typography.

To team up with a cause that not only gives back but dedicates heart and soul for others is a great honor. That is why Fusioncorp is so excited to be working with Susan G. Komen Lexington this year in the 2011 Race For The Cure.

Back in 2005 Fusioncorp opened its doors to a new world of cutting edge web design, graphic design and video editing that Lexington, KY had never seen before. We love design and are very good at it. But one thing that we have always had in mind was one simple goal - to give back to our community. As the years have gone by we have served the community by helping non-profits and companies that desire to make a lasting impression and help others in need. From churches, alcohol awareness and community sculpture parks we are completely stoked to be working with the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Fusioncorp will be donating its services to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 2011 campaign. How cool is that! Working with such wonderful people like Mary Allison Belshoff, Executive Director, and Jennifer Bricking, Lexington Affiliate, we will be doing our best to represent such a wonderful cause.
