One of our favorite non-creative related activities is running. At some point or another, all of us have been bitten by the running bug – the undeniable call to take to the pavement and push yourself to the limit. The experience of traveling miles and miles under your own power, listening to nothing but the sound of your thoughts and your feet on the road is all very romantic, actually. Until, that is, you wake up the next morning and realize that your body isn’t what it used to be and you’re in quite a lot of pain. For that reason, when we were contacted by Dr. Jesse Walden of Quest Chiropractic Center to design and develop a new website for his practice, we felt that the road to understanding his target audience wouldn’t be a long one.
Can you guess the purpose of today’s post? Yes! We’re here to announce the launch of the new Quest Chiropractic Center website, lovingly created by Johnny Lightning Strikes Again.
If you are a physician whose goal is to revolutionize the medical office, you could do worse than partner with a creative agency whose goal has always been to design a website that will help revolutionize the medical office. OK, we’ll admit that hasn’t ALWAYS been our goal, but it got added to the list soon after we were contacted by exclusiveMD, Kansas City’s first concierge medical practice.
What is a concierge medical practice, you ask? That was our question also. Imagine for a moment that instead of showing up at a cold, sterile, uncomfortable office to see a doctor that barely had time to see you, you arrived for your appointment at a beautiful, comfortable facility to see a doctor that had become a trusted friend. Imagine that this doctor was available not just at the office, but also for house calls, by telephone, video chat, email, and IM. Sounds pretty good, right? That was our thought also.

For a web design firm, the process of taking a project from a blank page to a fully-realized solution is thoroughly thrilling. We research, we analyze, we brainstorm, we sketch, we present – and before we know it, we’re celebrating the launch of another website. And by celebrating, we mean posting something on our blog. Don’t say we don’t know how to party.
Today’s announcement is that we’ve just added another web design project to our portfolio – a clean, modern, and functional website for Apple Bus Company. Apple Bus Company is a full service transportation provider, dealing with both pupil and public transportation. They needed a better online vehicle for their brand and engaged us to design and develop a website that both conveyed their commitment to service as a family-style business and their extensive capabilities as a large-scale operation.

We’re proud to announce that Johnny Lightning Strikes Again co-founder and strategist David Cecil has signed on to explore the topics of branding, design, and visual strategy at Examiner.com. His articles, which you can read and subscribe to here, will focus on how great branding can be leveraged to solve a variety of problems facing both large and small businesses.
Tim Boeshaar is a lighting designer in Kansas City, MO and the head electrician for the Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Our employer, Johnny Lightning (no, you cannot meet or talk to him), has a special place in his heart for the people who make the Kansas City art scene run. Therefore, we were thrilled to be able to design and develop an online portfolio for Tim that showcases his skill and commitment to making the theatre look fantastic.
As previously hyped, we had the pleasure of attending the (hopefully annual) Designer/Developer Workflow Conference this past weekend right here in Kansas City. What was it about? Well, here’s the description from the website:
What’s the big deal about workflow? Workflow is something we all do, day in and day out – although you may not even think about it. Do you work with multiple applications during the day? Do you work with team members, departments, clients, etc.? Improving those workflows is what D2W is all about.
Totally surprisingly, Kansas City is going to be host to a conference for designers and developers of websites! I know, right? The only way you normally get to see presenters like Seb Lee-Delisle speaking is if you catch a flight to Brighton and attend Flash On The Beach or other such conferences, usually in cities that are a prohibitive plane-flight-and-hotel-room-cost away.
If you’re going to be there too and want to meet up at some point, give us a holler!
Sometimes people wonder what we at Johnny Lightning Strikes Again like to do with our free time, assuming that when we’re not thrilling ultra-satisfied clients with groundbreaking design work (sales pitch!), we all have super interesting hobbies. Not true! Truth be told, we’ve been spending all our free time as of late taking road trips on I-70 out of Kansas City to cheer out the window at the billboard we just designed for a great client of ours, T.E. Woods Homes. We’re always proud of our work, but we’ve never before seen it so BIG and so on the side of the road. We decided to forego today’s road trip, however, to tell you all about the work.
Creativity, even when based in sound business strategy, can be subjective. For this reason, every time a business engages us to design something that will visually capture their brand and message, there is an element of trust involved; we take this trust very, very seriously. We relish the opportunity because it makes days like today even better, when we can send another happy client on their way with a visual solution in place that we’re positive will do great things for their business.
Today’s portfolio addition is Health Care Consultants of Kansas City, a brand new business with a brand new website and a brand new business card.
