Aeon Blu Builds Six Ripley’s Websites in Six Weeks, Believe it Or Not!
ORLANDO, FL - Local software solutions studio, Aeon Blu is pleased to announce the launch of six new Ripley’s Believe It Or Not websites.
The six newly designed sites are for the original Ripley’s museum,
St. Augustine, Florida (http://staugustine.ripleys.com),
San Francisco, Calfornia (http://sanfrancisco.ripleys.com/),
Hollywood, Calfornia (http://hollywood.ripleys.com/),
San Antonio, Texas (http://sanantonio.ripleys.com/),
Grand Prairie, Texas (http://grandprairie.ripleys.com/) and
Ocean City, Maryland (http://oceancity.ripleys.com/).
Aeon Blu worked closely with the marketing and brand managers at Ripley Entertainment to freshen and unify the look of the Believe It Or Not properties or “Odditoriums.” Each site receives a rich colorful treatment that reflects the museum’s unique locale while keeping a uniform structure that enables users to quickly get to salient info quickly like a map, news, museum FAQ, hours and pricing. Notable also is the incorporation of many social networking elements into the design enabling a rich homepage experience. Flicker, Twitter, Blog feeds and other data fit nicely side-by-side in this clean interface. The management of these sites is reduced to very simple configuration files for pointing to the various data sources, and a simple content management back-end.
“Aeon Blu showed a dedicated attention to Ripley’s business goals, provided excellent project management and their team remained on task and throughout the course of the project.” remarked Dave Ugan, VP, Information Technology at Ripley Entertainment.
