We are proud to announce the launch of a new website for the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley.

The project began by identifying and developing personas which guided us to create a site structured around the interests and goals of the most frequent visitors.

A custom calendar was developed to publicize the many events which the Federation promotes as they work to build a stronger sense of Jewish community in Silicon Valley.

As with all our sites ...

The company name comes from an encounter with the proprietor of a Michelin-starred restaurant who said to be great in his business you had to be "un po pazzo," a little crazy.

Their new website, on the other hand, is clean and sober. It features the stunning photography of Tiziana Costamagna, along with the finest wine, food and spirits from the artisans of Italy. Get a taste of Un Po Pazzo.

Resolve's Managing Partner, Barry Harrison, was interviewed by Marcia Duffy for her article, "Online Portfolios: Create a Successful Virtual Showroom."

For the past 5 years, we have been developing a Content Management System for our own use. We had realized that none of the available systems met our needs - they were too expensive, too complicated, not flexible enough, etc. So we decided to make our own, and RefineryCMS was born. We now run almost all our sites on Refinery, and it has become a central part of our business.

Developers: take a 2-minute tour of Refinery CMS or go to the github ...

We added a very simple e-commerce solution, a store locator, a testimonial rotator, and did a major copy re-write with the goal of increasing direct sales and resellers.

The next steps include Search Engine optimization to get higher ...

Our new site for the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue™ is a forum for academic, social, and timely issues affecting religious communities around the world. In this community of scholars, people of different traditions learn from one another and work together for the common good.

Now there's an idea whose time has come. We are proud to be part of this important new organization.

The overall structure of the site hasn't changed much but we have added a new Case Studies section and reformatted our
