New web design and development project – Apple Bus Company

Posted in News on August 9, 2010 by JLSA

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.

New Addition to our Design Portfolio – Tim Boeshaar Web Design & Development Project

Posted in News on July 5, 2010 by JLSA

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.

TE Woods Homes - Billboard Design - Johnny Lightning Strikes Again

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.

Ochsner Hare & Hare Custom Web Design - Johnny Lightning Strikes Again

We understand that there is a possibility that you haven’t been as excited about this day as we have, but we’re releasing the balloons and sending out the marching band anyway. We just launched a new Flash website for Ochsner, Hare & Hare, a landscape architecture and city planning firm who has visually shaped not just Kansas City, but communities all over Missouri and the nation. The custom design and development of this site has been a passion of ours since the earliest days of our firm and today we feel very much like parents waving goodbye to their children, heading off to their first day of school. Luckily, we don’t need to worry about bullies, because ain’t nobody on the web messing with this little guy. To see the site, please visit OHHKC.com. READ MORE →

The Little House

Posted in News on November 17, 2009 by David Cecil

I know it’s been a while since you heard from us, and believe us, we missed you too. But sometimes, you just have to put your head down and take care of business, you know?

The business we’ve most recently taken care of is a web design project that I’m struggling to describe without using words that I try to avoid when discussing our ultra-important, super-serious, strategically-driven web design work. Words like cute. And adorable.

There may be no way around it.

The Little House Kansas City Web Design - Johnny Lightning Strikes Again

The most recent addition to our portfolio and client family is The Little House – a boutique children’s clothing store, located for over 40 years in the charming Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City, MO. Success over decades doesn’t happen by accident (I dare you to go to their store and tell me you’d buy your children clothes anywhere else), but they felt that it was time to grace the World Wide Web with a little of their delightfullness. Yes – delightfullness is in no way a real word, but you’re going to have to go with it because it’s all too appropriate. READ MORE →

Just as the Roman Catholic church once commissioned works from the master artists of their time, so too were we commissioned to create something magnificent – something that would stand the test of time. The only difference is instead of painting the Sistine Chapel, we wrote a theme song. For a blog. For no money. And it was entirely the result of an ongoing joke on Twitter.

People say we are progressing, but I sometimes wonder.

For the people who know me well, it is a known fact that the whole “design firm, alt-pop musician, black clothes” shtick is simply a deceptive disguise for a run-of-the-mill sports fanatic. You may be one to disagree (you’d be wrong), but for me, the absolute most exciting sport to watch is golf. I’m serious; my entire world stands still during the four major golf tournaments. I tell James & Josh that I sit at my desk and work with the tournament on in the background, but that’s a straight-up lie. I watch. I watch hard. READ MORE →
