The TMA goals are to raise awareness for good causes as well as help raise money for charity, mainly children’s charities.

Recently First Rate Funding, a mortgage broker serving the Albany, NY Capital District area, contacted Engines of Creation to create a new web site for their company. There were a few key elements that First Rate Funding wanted in a new web site, as well as features that they did not have in their current site.

First Rate Funding was looking for a well organized web site with helpful information for their visitors, they wanted a visually appealing website that was clean but most importantly they wanted a web site that conveyed their personal approach to mortgage lending, and their commitment to excellence.

Engines of Creation met with owner Chris Falvey and First Rate Funding Sales Manger Ken Crichlow to discuss their goals, design ideas and focus for the web site. After several meetings and feedback on working design prototypes, EOC presented First Rate Funding with their ideal look and feel for their new website. EOC’s new design concept was to present a family oriented feel to the web site with imagery in the top headers of the site, while maintaining a clean professional look to the rest of the site.

Engines of Creation suggested the addition of a WordPress Blog to provide more useful content on the site. WordPress a popular Blogging platform, will allow the First Rate Funding staff to keep their Blog updated with mortgage industry news, mortgage tips and helpful articles, all of which could prove to be useful for visitors as well as help First Rate become known for quality content about the mortgage industry in the Albany area.

WMHT Educational Telecommunications, is a regional public broadcaster that provides high-quality programs and services to our area. Every year around the holidays WMHT holds their annual holiday auction to raise funding to keep their programs and mission alive.

Because Engines of Creation is committed to helping public broadcasting, education and to support everything WMHT does for our community, Engines of Creation donated a small business web site package valued at over $3,700 for their annual holiday auction.

The Holiday Auction was a big success for WMHT, and a lucky bidder walked away with a great web site package. We are going to make it our mission so that each year we will look to find a good charity or cause to donate something to. It is also a long term goal of ours to set up a scholarship for our local high school for students interested in pursuing web design as a career choice.

We encourage all small businesses to participate in their own communities, whether they choose to donate money, time or services, every little thing means something huge to someone who is in need of your help.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Engines of Creation Web Design & Development
