Atomicdust Launches New Website for Rockport Works

For the past several months, the team at Atomicdust has been hard at work on a new website for Rockport Works.

For nearly 40 years, the Rockport Company has been an industry innovator. They were the first to use advanced materials and technologies in contemporary styled footwear for men and women. Each product is a combination of performance engineering lightweight comfort and performance engineering with a fashionable edge.

Rockport extended its line to offer its own line of work shoes and boots specifically engineered for comfort and safety. The shoes are designed, manufactured and distributed by our client, Warson Brands, under license from the Rockport Company, LLC.

Our mission as we designed the site was to make it easy for Rockport Works customers to find (and purchase) exactly the shoe that fits their needs. Web visitors can select from a range of feature-specific criteria to search, or they can browse for shoes based on their occupation or work environment.

The design echoes Rockport’s national brand, with targeted images and messaging for audiences who are on their feet all day in sometimes hazardous conditions.

On the back end, it’s just as easy for members of the Rockport Works team to maintain content on the site, including adding new products. We built the site on the open-source, community-supported WordPress platform. As you know, we’re big fans of WordPress. It’s affordable and lets us (and our clients) tackle SEO, social media and e-commerce in a flash.

To try the website on for size, visit www.rockport-works.com. And don't forget to follow along on Facebook and Twitter for product updates and news.

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...
