July 20, 2007 — The USC Alumni Club of Phoenix raises scholarship funds for new and continuing USC students in and around Phoenix. We created a fresh look for USCphoenix.com, compliant to University identity guidelines, that immediately says Phoenix to visitors using images from Phoenix landmarks in a Flash movie. We also added a inquiry form and database, which e-mails club leadership as soon as a new request for information is received, and we'll continue to add features. (Don Dingee, founder of siteGrowers, is a USC MSEE '89.)
June 25, 2007 — After two years, we realized that we had been so busy working with our clients that our own site needed a refresh. siteGrowers.com is re-launched, retaining the logo but using an entirely new palette and look and feel.

Better yet, have us take a look.
