Posted - 11/21/2012 12:40pm Sonoma International Film Festival updates their website for 2013!
WildFireWeb Welcomes the Sonoma International Film Festival

When the Sonoma International Film Festival wanted to update the look and features of their website, they contacted WildFireWeb! Always up to the challenge, we transferred the 200+ page website from their old, not so easy to manage content management system into Tinder®, the super easy, super user friendly content management system designed right here at WildFireWeb. Now staff at the film festival can easily update and maintain the ever changing content of their website on the fly from any computer!

With new blogging capability, built in calendars and slide shows and the new current events module, SIFF keeps their festival community in the know, driving traffic to events throughout the year that build awareness and increase festival membership.

Coming soon to the SIFF website are 2 additional features that will put a smile on the faces of festival sponsors and attendees alike, a fully dynamic sponsor page designed to promote sponsors and engage visitors will include details and contact information for all major sponsors, while the new online film festival guide will make it easier to know what's happening where and when from their mobile and web enabled devices.

Posted - 10/02/2012 11:08am Daphne's Creamery

Little Daphne loves butter. She can tell you what butter she loves and what butter is not so good. Her uncle Charlie (not really her uncle, but in Greek tradition an older family friend is considered an uncle) grew up in Wisconsin.  As a kid he used to milk cows, churn butter and of course, make cheese. Always a devoted Cheesehead, Uncle Charlie and little Daphne shared a common love for dairy. Together they teamed up to build a brand committed to creating and delivering the finest dairy products you can find at a creamery. But they didn't stop there.

Uncle Charlie and little Daphne wanted to do more than just help people eat tastier butter and cheese. They wanted to give back to their community and decided to make their creamery mission based.

Learn more about Daphne and Charlie's mission to help ease the lives of those with Parkinson's, and find out how you can be part of the solution.

Posted - 10/02/2012 10:54am Sonoma Valley Visitor's Bureau, Joomla'd Out!
Frustrated with their previous Joomla website, the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau approached WildFireWeb for a new solution. The website has a lot of bells and whistles, so there was plenty to keep us busy, from the fully dynamic directory with integrated dynamic mapping to a new county wide calendar of events, to the in house management of ads for their members, it's not the same old business anymore.

Posted - 10/02/2012 10:11am Choose to Cheese! The Sonoma Cheese Factory
It's all in the details.

A year ago the Sonoma Cheese Factory had a website that hadn't been updated in over 5 years, 2 months ago, even THEY couldn't take it anymore and decided no website was better than a bad website. Fortunately, they called us over here at WildFireWeb and got some help. While it may seem minimalistic at the moment, they're happy to be back online with current location and contact information and we're happy to have them as customers.

Mike has big plans for the website so look an online store, including online picnic and lunch options, coming your way soon.

Posted - 10/02/2012 09:57am WildFireWeb Welcomes Kenwood Investments & Chateau Sonoma Hotel
Dear Friends,

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our new endeavor, Chateau Sonoma Hotel and Spa. Chateau Sonoma Hotel and Spa is a proposed boutique hotel, restaurant and spa to be located ••• block from the historic Sonoma Plaza.

chateau_sonoma_1.png

We are proud to call Sonoma home and are committed to ensuring it is a place we all can be proud of. From renovating Ramekins into a desirable destination to forming the Ramekins Foundation to the numerous non-profit organizations to which we contribute time and money, we are loyal to Sonoma and always will be.

We hope to continue to enhance the Sonoma Valley by creating Chateau Sonoma Hotel and Spa. The Hotel will attract an international clientele, bringing additional recognition to the city and increased patronage to local merchants resulting in increased sales tax dollars to benefit the community. In addition, the “green” features in the hotel design further the community’s vision of sustainability.

We value the residents of Sonoma and we will welcome them to the hotel. Chateau Sonoma Hotel and Spa will offer health club memberships to those who live in the immediate area, discounted pricing for Sonoma residents and high school internship programs for local teens.

We look forward to working with you to create this exciting asset in our community.

Sincerely,

Sarah and Darius Anderson

Posted - 10/02/2012 09:49am WildFireWeb Welcomes Invoking the Pause
Invoking The Pause ("ITP"), an environmental small grants program founded by Maggie Kaplan in 2007, initially began as a two-phase program to foster creativity and 'out-of-the-box' thinking by two or more collaborators for innovative and potentially scalable ideas to:
  • Help individuals and communities understand the true impacts of climate change and global warming in our lives
  • Launch new initiatives or breakthrough ideas that ultimately result in individuals and communities making better choices to reduce our carbon footprint
  • Create mitigation and adaptation solutions
invoking_1.png

ITP  seeds many fertile ideas in interdisciplinary ways to advance public awareness about climate change - to steward the ecological health of our planet and to preserve its magnificence and mysteries.  ITP provides for a collaborative pause - a 'gift of time' to create the possibilities for a shift from 'chronos into kairos', to slow down, savor natural beauty, and open inspirational, creative portals to address these issues.

Fundamental to ITP's  mission is the belief that each Grant Partner (GP) truly is a partner, not merely a grantee.  Each GP becomes part of our growing community of committed, passionate individuals who have crafted their own unique programs to address climate issues.  ITP fosters connectivity and collaboration among the expanding ITP community of GPs both during and after their funding.

Best Whole House Remodel
$200,000-$500,000

Architectural Designer/Contractor: CHC Creative Remodeling


After

Before

The goal: To upgrade the quality and aesthetic appeal of the main floor of the home, with particular focus on the fireplace, flooring and trim.

The challenge: Maintaining the traditional style of the home while updating existing spaces.

The result: The foyer, which features a custom front entry door with leaded glass inserts designed by the homeowner, new floors and a redesigned grand staircase, establishes the traditional design of the home upon entry. From there, the dining room and great room can be seen through graceful arched passageways. Retaining the existing floor-to-ceiling red brick fireplace and tongue-and-groove ceiling, the great room features a hand-made alder fireplace surround and cove molding with corner blocks that wrap the ceiling.

The judges liked: How the relocation of the powder room and addition of an entrance from the patio met the homeowners’ requirements.
