We’ll discuss how we considered the requirements for technology, design, imagery, content, and more.

We also will offer what happens after it launches and our thoughts on how to maintain a successful corporate blog.

Farmington Valley Goldens is a Connecticut-based breeder of golden retrievers. They required a new web site that would feature their dogs and new litters.

ContentRobot will assist them with a blog-powered website that will allow them to keep their clients informed about the golden retrievers, the breeding process, and the cute puppies!

Because the site will take advantage of blog technology, it will include a blog, a contact form, and an email newsletter. Also, FVG can easily maintain the entire site with the intuitive blog interface.

This site will be launched later this summer. Watch for it!

ContentRobot congratulates our client, Bazaarvoice, for being named as part of Red Herring 100 North America, a selection of 100 privately held companies in North America that play a leading role in innovating the business of technology.
