Initial Challenges:
Port of Everett needed their site to be more than informational. They wanted a site that would be inviting and engaging to the range of markets the Port services — from national and international commercial container shippers to marina boaters to retail shops and their customers.Sales & Marketing Solutions:
Blue Sky Projects is now such a part of the Port’s marketing team, they have been brought in to help a number of managers with various marketing projects.
Business Process Improvements:
Site owner can easily keep the site fresh by quickly adding new press releases and tag lines. New design is easy for marketing director to maintain, and cost-effective for Blue Sky Projects to make major updates to.
Technical Solutions:
CSS enable quick changes to inner navigation pages. Site has random photo on home page so site appears “fresh” to repeat visitors.

Site Achievements:
After Blue Sky Projects redesigned this site,Port of Everett had the following
successes:
- Site successfully attracts, interests and services an unusually broad range of markets — from retail shop owners, to marina boaters, to major international commercial container shippers.
- Content was translated to various
Pacific Rim languages, thus deepening customer loyalty with that significant segment of their market. - Service beyond the call of duty — to announce the homecoming of the USS Abraham Lincoln from the Iraq war, the Port urgently e-mailed Blue Sky Projects at 5PM to update their home page and add two new pages. It was all ready to go first thing the next morning.
