Let me introduce you to One Spirit Medical Missions (OSMM.) OSMM consists of several teams of medical professionals that travel to Haiti to provide medical care to people in rural communities. OSMM teams make several trips a year to several towns to run medical clinics and provide needed prescription medicines. It’s all about providing medical care for people that cannot afford it. But that’s not all! At OSMM, they help match interested Haitians with healthcare training. So, OSMM works to meet both current medical needs as well as prepare for the future of Haitian healthcare. This is especially important because there are not enough nurses and physicians currently in Haiti.

Say hello to one of the newest website updates on the internet! We just launched a brand new website for Arbor Creek Animal Hospital located in Olathe, Kansas. This website is a really neat one because we got to add several specific features that really make this site pop! In this blog I am going to review a few of the features. But first, here is an intro to the project.

The Lotus Moments Event Center, located in Des Moines, Iowa is located in a historic building in downtown. The Event Center is very spacious as it has room for three hundred guests to enjoy a sit down meal. Equipped with full catering kitchen and dance floor, the Lotus Moments Event Center is idea for parties ranging from weddings and reunions to any special occasion. We recently had the pleasure of revamping the Lotus Moments Event Center website.

Here at Covenant Web Design we have recently launched a new Website for Radiant Complexions Dermatology.

Radiant Complexions is a company that has several dermatology clinics in two states. They have multiple professional medical dermatology clinics near Des Moines, Iowa and near Phoenix, Arizona. Not only does Radiant Complexions provide medical services for standard dermatological conditions, they also provide a wide array of cosmetic services as well. One of the unique things about Radiant Complexions is that they have their own line of skincare products. What a neat business combination - medical, cosmetic, as well as a professional products line!

      Now that we have discussed some objectives that websites can have in Be, Be Objective Part 1, it is time to be objective about those objectives. Here, let’s start discussing the adjective form of the word objective and ask a few more questions: Does my website achieve its intended purpose effectively? Do I need to change or improve my website to better fit those purposes? By contrast, do I need to realign my original conception of what I thought the purpose of my website was? So take a step back with me and be objective about websites.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary and the Collins English Dictionary, courtesy of The Free Dictionary, there are several definitions for the word objective. Here are a couple summarized definitions:

1.  Objective: (noun) goal, purpose, aim. Example: “His main objective during high school was to graduate as Valedictorian.”
2. Objective: (adjective) independent of your emotions, preferences, preconceptions. Based on fact rather than feeling or opinion. Example: “The scientific quantitative observation is based on an objective value such as a numerical reading off of a scale. By contrast, the qualitative observation is based on conception or perceived appearance such the color of a solution.”

Our most recent project, a fantastic new website for Care by April out of Ankeny, Iowa, is a website with a lot of character. One reason for that is Care by April is a non-medical home care company that serves Des Moines and its suburbs like Altoona, Ames, and Beaverdale. Care by April specializes in helping folks with all sorts of services including personal care, companionship, transportation, and respite/overnight care. The caregivers will also assist in basic home cleanup. Care by April serves people of all ages who need some help with their own special routine. I would say that the caregivers at Care by April are like super family members who are specially trained in tender loving care. They are pros.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Julie who loved to draw. She loved art and painting as well. Little Julie enjoyed drawing animals like birds, horses, and fish. Sometimes Julie would even design her own creative animals. When Julie was in the 4^th grade, her class was given an art project by Julie’s favorite teacher Mrs. Gatehouse. Mrs. Gatehouse told all of her students that they were to draw many animals and plants of different sizes on a large sheet of Manila paper. The class was going to make jungle collages.

This week at Covenant Web Design, we launched a new website for Reflections Dance of McKinney. First I will go over a little bit of information about this very neat McKinney, Texas dance studio and then I will review some of the website building and design elements that were important for this project.

As I have mentioned before, one of the things that I enjoy about McKinney, Texas is the plethora of trees. While I was driving around today I noticed several varieties that I recognized such as Bradford Pear, Pecan, and Oak trees. And then I became curious about which specific trees were most suited for McKinney, Texas.
