Branded Environment Design (B.E.D.)
This was a project where I worked with a company called Branded Environment Design (B.E.D.) based in New York. John, the Senior Design Executive there contacted me on Fiverr and explained that they required help setting up a Google Sites website for Dr Bror Saxberg, founder of LearningForge LLC.
Why me when this company has its own web designers? John explained that "My graphic designers created the logo and basic style guide - but are not available or efficient at fooling Google Sites into looking good."Â I believe there is no "fooling" here, Google Sites can look great although I admit they can't do some things a paid-for web platform can do.
LearningForge website Home page
One of the main objectives of the website was to allow Dr Saxberg to spread the word about learning science through a blog. As there is no blogging facility built into Google Sites it was suggested the Blogger (another Google product), could be used.
Learning Forge website Bror's Blog
In short, I set up the blog to the same branded design as the website and then placed it into the website as a full page embed, thus fooling the world into thinking that the blog is the site.
