Pensacola Blues Redesign
Web Design

Pensacola Blues releases their redesigned website just in time for the holiday shopping season. The new release concentrates on the absolute latest fashion news and events to keep visitors informed of where the hottest trends are heading. Holley Grove worked closely with Pensacola Blues to translate their uncompromising style into a perfect graphical art form of presentation on the web.

Here's some screenshots of the new site:

And proving that we don't always get it completely right the first time, here's an example screenshot of our first iteration of the redesign:

While clean and useable, in this particular case, the customer was looking for an edgier, more high-profile feel to their site. We listened carefully, responded, and came up with a beautiful design they can be proud of.

Pensacola Community Calendar
Web Design

Holley Grove continues its strong commitment to the local Pensacola community by releasing a free online community calendar for Pensacola. The calendar is provided as an online outlet for information on upcoming local events. Registered users can post their own event information including an event description, contact information, location, and even a link to the event's website free of charge!

Event postings should be limited to local, non-duplicate, accurate events. However, as with the site's business listings, you don't have to be the organizer or owner of an event to post it's information, feel free to post any event information you think might benefit the community! The calendar is already starting to fill up, so be sure to add your favorite events as soon as you can! You might also want to check out the new events RSS feed which will allow you to subscribe to the entire community calendar, and be automatically notified the instant new events are added!

Unlike other forums, Pensacola Forum is completely local, free, and un-censored. We simply wanted to give the community a platform for discussing local issues and making their voices heard without any strings attached or censorship.

Introducing PensacolaBusiness.com

We did it! We've already begun design on pensacolabusiness.com! We would like to first thank all of you for your interest in the site and it's future plans so far. We just wanted to take this opportunity to answer some questions about the site that have come up, give you a status update on the development, and share with you some of our ideas for the site.

Pensacola Business is intended to be a completely dynamic website that will allow the Pensacola community (business and otherwise) to actively participate in a community-oriented business website created especially for Pensacola. Pensacola Business will have continually updating news and information about Pensacola, as well as user submitted business listings for any and all businesses in the Pensacola area!

Question: How much will it cost?

Answer: The site will only cost you as much as you and your business can afford. If you can't afford any money to list your business, that's ok, we still want your business listing anyway! Pensacola Business will have several levels of business listsings ranging from free, to standard, to premium. Our introductory prices will be free for a free (basic) listing, $19.00/yr for a standard listing, and $99.00/yr for a premium account. We can't really divulge all the differences in the price breakdowns on this page, so if you need any more detailed information, feel free to contact us.

Question: How will this site offer any advantages over other online business communities for Pensacola?

Answer: We believe Pensacola Business is different from it's competitors in a variety of important areas. The main difference is that Pensacola Business not only allows content submitted for everyday people in the Pensacola area, we welcome it! Pensacola Business will also offer your business a home on the web without you having to worry about the details of developing, maintaining, and hosting your own website. In addition, Pensacola Business will also provide free forums, job postings, and a variety of other Pensacola-specific information.

Question: Enough already, when is the site going to be released???

Answer: We are shooting for a beta release of the site around the first of July.

Business Profile Article
Web Design

NWF Business ClimateThe Northwest Florida Business Climate magazine published an article on Holley Grove in their November 2006 edition. The article gives some nice insight into our business, employees, and vision.

This was our first magazine article publication, and I must say, we really enjoyed the whole process. Ballinger publishing was very professional and made the entire process very simple for us.

From the article:

The company [Holley Grove]'s unusual twist is its equal emphasis to both sides of the computer screen. They do this by integrating visually appealing graphic artistry, innovative user-friendly technology and customized business support services to help each client accomplish its online presence.
