web site launch

GossamerWind.com, a web site for information about Gossamer Wind® series ceiling fans is now live. Compared to conventional ceiling fans, they consume approximately half the energy in operation, saving an estimated $20 per year in electricity costs while providing more efficient lighting and superior air flow.

The new web site aims to provide information about the fans, particularly for models that aren't readily available in retail stores. To date, more than a million Gossamer Wind ceiling fans have been purchased across the country (mainly Lowe's and Home Depot retail stores), saving consumers more than $10 million annually.

Anello Consulting built the site using the Drupal open source content managment system. The site features various search engine optimizations to ensure the site is easy to find using popular search engines.

OffRoadAtlas.com, a new web site from Anello Consulting, Incorporated, recent went live. It is new site that utilizes Google Maps to provide users with an easy way to find and share off-road areas for their vehicles.

The site allows its members as well as anonymous users to submit off-road areas to be displayed on the site. When submitting a new area, the user can specify not only the name and description of the site, but they can also submit links associated with the area and they can pinpoint the location of the area using a highly-interactive Google Map embedded in the page.
