Previously hosted on a Joomla! content management system, the Chamber was having a hard time keeping the site up to date.  LightningHammer designed and created a new site that would match the new branding for the City of Abbeville's new website. Along with an easy to use LightningCMS setup, the site is integrated with a ChamberMaster software solution.

The City of Abbeville had been living with the limitations of their state hosted website for a while and they were ready for an update. They enlisted us to create a custom website design for them as well as provide a CMS (Content Management System) so they could keep the site updated and fresh.  The new fresh website the City has now is super user-friendly, beautiful easy-buttons, access to permits, an event calendar and so much more. Check it out and tell your friends!

LightningHammer was selected by The Governor's School for the Arts Foundation to design and develop a new website. The foundation works in collaboration with the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities to create extraordinary experiences for students, teachers, donors and the state-wide community. We enlisted the talents of artist Allison Reich to create the new design, while the site is powered by LightningCMS.  Click here to visit the site.

At LightningHammer, we're big fans of the location based service Gowalla. So when we heard some more custom stamps were up for grabs, we jumped on the opportunity to snag one for ourselves.

Sometimes I need to make some icons that have a unique look to them, but I am required to use some source photography to create it.  For this project, I needed something that looked like a pen sketch, but had a nice "sticker-like" quality to it.  I came up with a really simple and easy way to process each photo quickly to create the icons. First, our source image: It could be anything, but luckily this had a white background so I won't have to do a lot to actually cut it out. Next, you...

I haven't had much time to keep up with facePLANT, the Windows Live Writer plug-in for Facebook, so I decided I would post the source code on here so any developer can download and extend as they please. This code is provided as is and there is no implied warranty. It is free to use in personal and commercial applications.
