"Ajenda's creativity and marketing savvy resulted in a lively website with a crisp and clean look. The copy grabs the reader's interest, and the graphics were seemlessly integrated. A first-class job!"

Business Challenge: The Chicagoland Orchid Growers Association hosts an annual festival to promote orchid growing, collecting and cultivating. People from across the nation come to the Chicago area for this festival to share in their interest and knowledge of these fascinating plants. A site was needed that was not only informative, but reflected the beauty of these magnificent flowers.

Solution: Ajenda developed a site for the 8th Annual Chicagoland Orchid Growers Association (COGA) festival held in September 2000. It provided information regarding schedule, locations and COGA members. The design of the site was clean and elegant, had a simple navigation, and captured the beauty that was showcased at the festival.

Impact: The first Orchidfestival.com Web site was launched in May 2000, the site providing information, maps, directions and downloadable entry forms. Having the information online was a great time saver for many of the growers, and there was an overwhelmingly positive response to the visual design. Ajenda continues to host and maintain the orchid festival site. New designs were created for the 2001, 2002 and 2003 festivals.
