Functionality

Avnet, one of Arizona's largest employers and a Fortune 50 corporation, has been running the Avnet Tech Games for several years. Students compete in a variety of technically challenging "games" such as building robots, solar-powered devices, high-speed computers, even making marketing pitches and designing factory floors.

AAEE is the state branch of the National Association for Environmental Education. Rather than being satisfied with the national association’s turnkey website template, AAEE worked with Z-Com Creative to develop an entirely custom user experience.

Intraoperative Monitoring Services (IMS) sends technicians into neural surgery suites all over the Valley to monitor and report back on data generated during surgery. They needed a secure solution for gathering patient and case data in the field. We did that, and much more.

We started by learning all we could about IMS' business at every level: How cases are scheduled, how technicians use their technology, how their reading physicians review the materials from the case, how billing takes place.

The SMPS website is a robust custom website solution for a trade association. Working within a very narrow budget, Z-Com Creative built a site featuring news, event registration, easy navigation and a job bank bulletin board for members. The landing page features a random slideshow of photos taken at SMPS events over the years.

SMPSArizona.org is built on a custom CMS solution and is entirely run by volunteers.

Tempe Preparatory Academy is a charter college prep school. Their goal was to have a forward-facing online strategy, with community (teacher and student) generated content driving most of the site. Z-Com Creative developed a robust social-media style site for TPA, which ran with limited success for about a year. We learned a lot about working with nonprofits and volunteers through this project.
