We’re absolutely thrilled to have been a part of helping The Renaissance Company refresh its website.  We provided a new design with an updated information architecture and layout, plus a WordPress platform so they could manage their content.

Further, with a custom gallery we developed, they can manage their photos using their existing Picasa account. Users can also now subscribe to receive promotional updates and blog posts via Feedburner.

After more than two years working to help clients leverage web technologies, we finally obligated time to rebuild our website. On the front-end there is a new visual design providing a fresher look that aligns with our brand identity. We used jquery to present more information without having to load new pages (and to make the site more dynamic), improved the Information Architecture (IA) and User Experience (UX) to make it easier for visitors to find information and for Tellenger to communicate our core messages. And, of course, we’ve increased our use of social media and real-time technologies.

On the back-end, we’ve utilized WordPress as a content management system as well as a blog. We have super clean code for greater efficiency and employ an uber-reliable host. Of course, Google Analytics keeps us informed of key site data and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) make us easy to find online.

The site is a reflection of what we preach: Technology driven by business objectives. Our objectives were to (1) clarify our brand, (2) clearly communicate our capabilities and experience, (3) leverage social media to increase site traffic, (4) make our website faster and easier to manage, and (5) use Tellenger.com to increase sales and brand awareness. Early data shows we’re off to a great start.

We’re proud to welcome our newest staff member, Ben Hofer, who joins us as a web designer. He’s traded sunny Florida for digs on Capitol Hill and comes armed with nearly five years of experience creating elegant and user-experience-driven web designs.

At Tellenger, he’s responsible for creating visual personalities online, providing that all-important visual layer to web and mobile sites that address clients’ business objectives.

After two years, we’ve re-launched Tellenger.com to better highlight the results of our work and the services we provide. Like many businesses, we started heading in one direction, though our successes, clients, and the market have encouraged us to adapt in order to better meet a unique set of needs.

Some of the changes that more accurately describe Tellenger include:

1. No longer focused exclusively on Government clients – We’ve found that our work with the Marine Corps, for example, has led to private sector businesses wanting our advanced coding skills. And our Government clients want to benefit from our leading edge work in the private sector.
2. Increased focus on Business Strategy – While strategy has always been an important part of our process, we were surprised to discover how many competitors fail to put the business strategy of an organization at the forefront of technology consulting. We let the business objectives of our clients drive our exceptional technology engineering and visual design … not the other way around. As a result, we’ve proven exceptionally skilled at building web-based businesses and driving organizational value through technology.
3. Not just complex coding anymore – Tellenger got its start building complex, mission-driven software applications delivered through the web so people could access their apps anywhere, anytime. However, we were missing an important market segment of organizations that needed less complex, though equally important, websites and digital technology solutions. Interestingly, the shift to building web-based businesses and ecommerce sites has actually enhanced our software apps.

While some website re-launches are simply refreshes or updates, Tellenger’s signifies our successes and our growth. We are doing outstanding work for our clients, which is leading to new clients, new requests, and repeat business. The new Tellenger.com site is a marker of the achievements our clients have experienced as a result of our work together.

I’m proud to welcome the new Tellenger.com.

In addition to our headquarters in Maryland, we’ve now expanded Tellenger’s physical locations to include a new office space at 1934 Old Gallows Road, Suite 350, in Tyson’s Corner. It’s great to have our Digital Strategies Division in the vibrant Tyson’s Corner area, which is the gateway to Washington’s Silicon Alley and the Dulles Corridor.

Let’s meet for lunch at Chutzpah Deli.

I’m pleased to announce that Tellenger, Inc. has been awarded its GSA Schedule for providing IT services, effectively enabling our firm to bid directly on government contracts.

In almost two years since its founding, Tellenger has served major public and private sector clients such as the Marine Corps, National WWII Memorial, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health and Human Services, and the Patent and Trademark Office. Our team of accomplished professionals continues to earn client accolades for exceptional service provided on time and on budget.

I’m proud of the strong start we’ve had and look forward to even greater success in the future.
