Not only is the new and improved Southern Coast Vacations website featuring a responsive booking engine, it’s sporting a new design too! The new look brings the entire website up to date while allowing clients to find rental availability and pricing with ease.

Responsive programming and fresh design are two key components of a successful website, however, we also developed a custom content management system which allows Southern Coast Vacations to add/edit/delete content and photos as they please.

Our hope is to assist more new and current clients with responsive design, we simply cannot stress enough the importance of having your website correspond with the device the user is on. Having a website that’s hard to navigate on a tablet or smartphone can drive a potential client away from your website in no time! It’s time to cater to the mobile user, is your website responsive??

We completed a Property Plus booking engine integration for The Lachicotte Company, as well as a MLS integration with the Coastal Carolina MLS. The MLS integration was completed on three separate platforms, commercial, Myrtle Beach and Pawleys. Each of these sections of the website is designed to have it’s own unique feel, yet represent the brand as a whole!

The Lachicotte Company also realizes the importance of organic rankings and they are participating in Search Engine Optimization with the ICND team. We’re excited to boost their visibility throughout the Grand Strand region, as well as throughout the internet. This is sure to be a successful partnership and we thank The Lachicotte Company for the opportunity to develop their site and handle their SEO campaign.

Eventually, ICND will be working with the client to develop this into a full blown E-Commerce website. Although we’ve assisted many clients with their E-commerce sites, this is the first website we will develop that involves artwork, and a mission as unique as Dr. Renee Healing Art. Unique projects are always exciting for both ICND and the client. We love showing off our talents by trying our hand at something new!

We encourage you to visit the beautiful splash page, and stay tuned to our blog to follow the progress of this exciting undertaking between InterCoastal Net Designs & Dr. Renee Healing Art!

Chris Johnson, Senior Front End Developer

A self taught man, Chris prides himself on clean code, keeping styling to the css file, and fast, deliverable websites. In an interview, Chris Johnson said, “Cut-up is an old term associated with ‘slicing’ a website with photoshop. Technically I converted a design. I now find myself coding using SASS and JADE to cut up my websites locally, as it provides me speed and many options such as custom and predefined mixins. ”

Both SASS and JADE are pre-processors that enhance the speed up time for his ‘cut-ups.’ And with the addition of his responsive design, this proves to be invaluable.

When asked about some of his favorite works, Chris pointed to a few such as, Lewis Farms,Debordieu Rentals, Cy’s World and Holden Brother’s Farm Market. He chose those because of certain techniques he used that he is particularly fond of.

Another facet that Mr. Johnson mentioned was bootstrap. This program helps speed up development as well as allows complete customization. This sleek, intuitive, and powerful front -end framework is just what developers should have in their artillery. In fact, Lewis Farms, is made using bootstrap.

So let us all give a big social kudos to our very own Chris Johnson. Great work Chris and keep em coming!
