The Foundist

What We Did

Visitors to The Foundist are treated to an addictive experience of the highest order. This blog site features eccentric, grin-inducing features that play in the areas of celebrity antics, guy stuff, pet-centricity and just plain LOL-fodder. Network9 gave them a complete brand identity and totally visual website design that serves up the posts like delectable bits of candy. But don’t be fooled by the fun; beneath the colorful, lighthearted look are serious usability features and SEO work.

The Problem It Solved

The content is really king (or queen) here. Our challenge was how to feature a lot of stories and sections in a quick glance, and allow multiple editors to add content. Our custom WordPress solution displays the content in neat little boxes that allow the editors to tease readers with clever one-liners and engage them with images. The fun experience has visitors clicking willingly (and loving the great reads.)

Results

We may be stretching here, but we’re pretty sure our client considers Network9 one great find. The site we created for them is cleaning up on the traffic-front. Thanks to Network9’s SEO expertise, The Foundist is highly findable as well.
