Hey there swingers and hipsters!

Check out the NEW website for Holiday Club, Chicago, IL.
holidayclubchicago.com

Holiday Club is one of our favorite places to eat, brainstorm, hang out with friends or dance on Fridays. So when they asked us to help update their site and make it easy for them to keep current we said HECK YES! With a new layout and design supported by a CMS back-end (Joomla!), the Holiday crew can log in anytime and make updates to the site using their browser based editor. A few sparkling gold animations, some classic photo booth shots and daily updates keep their customers in the know and at the bar. And check out the site on your phone - I bet you can find your way over and check the specials or hours even faster now!

So now you know our secret, if we aren't in the office, we are at the Holiday Club where they've been serving comfort food and snazzy cocktails for over 15 years! Why not make like Sinatra and sip an ice-cold martini while you swing to the eclectic jukebox, snap a picture in the retro black and white photo booth, chill on the sidewalk patio (when it's warm out!), or enjoy some interactive nightly entertainment in the late night lounge! And if you see us there, feel free to come over say hi!

Give us a call about how we can help you keep your site fresh!

YPBCo MEMBER PROFILE: Catherine Larson, Lead Designer


Cat is not only our superfantasticwonderful web designer here in our office, but an established artist outside of the office! She was awarded the Community Arts Assistance Program grant (offered through the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs) in 2008. And she studies woodworking as well. From tables to frames to boxes to birdfeeders, she can wield a saw. This weekend she is off to study chip carving at the Chicago School of Woodworking.

"Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. (thanks wikipedia)"

And Cat does just that! Check out this cool table she made (on the left).

Your Plan B Company is proud of our team, our artists. Each one of our team members exercises their creativity not only in the office but outside of it as well. We believe it is essential to problem solving, design and development. You can see more of Cat's creativity through the YPBCo client portfolio, as well as on her artist site at catherinelarson.com
