Winter 2007 Edition

Alliance Theater Coming Soon

The Alliance Theatre has served Atlanta since 1968. As one of the premier theatres in the Southeast, The Alliance has set the highest artistic standards, creating a powerful experience for audiences and performers alike. When The Alliance wanted a design firm that could bring this dynamic image to the web, they turned to Cool Blue Interactive. Launching four days ahead of schedule on February 22nd, the site incorporates information architecture, design, flash, and is Ektron compatible. (Ektron Inc. is a leader in Web content management software.) Cool Blue Interactive provided a complete redesign from information organization (Site Mapping and Information Architecture) to the visual design of each page.

Upgrading To Office 2007?

There's Something You Should
Know About Outlook

Microsoft has recently announced that Outlook 2007, the latest version of its popular email program, includes major changes to how graphic-rich emails are displayed.

What does this mean to the average business wanting to send targeted and attractive emails to their customers? It means that task just became more difficult. Will your emails display properly in the new Outlook? What about Eudora or Thunderbird? What about web-based email like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo? Do you have the time or resources to find out?

Luckily, Cool Blue Interactive stays on top of the latest popular email clients, both desktop and web-based, Mac and PC. We know what works and what doesn't, and we design attractive, compelling email messages that will not only appear correctly in every client, but get your customers clicking.
