Remember the first day of school? When the teacher would have the entire class regale each other with tales from their summer vacations? Well, we’re admittedly a bit far into the fall semester for that analogy, but hey, if the shoe fits…
We’ve certainly had a busy summer at MetaSpring - bringing on several new staff members and moving into our great new office space. In between those big changes, we’ve been working really hard on some awesome projects that we’d like to share with you now.
Ashcom Technologies
Ashcom Technologies, a software development company out of Ann Arbor, was ready for a fresh identity on the web and we were happy to help!

What we did:
- Web Design
- HTML / CSS Templating
- Custom Content Management System
- Scheduling widget to manage training class schedules
Acheson Builders

What we did:
- Web Design
- HTML / CSS Templating
- WordPress Blog Integration
- Custom Photo Gallery
The Fairy Godmother’s Blog
Susan Fenters Lerch, President & CEO of the Make-a-Wish-Foundation of Michigan, is known to many as the Fairy Godmother. Very much a child at heart, she lives each day with the goal of bringing joy to the people around her. The Make-a-Wish Foundation came to us looking for a blog design that would allow Susan to reach the public and evoke the characteristics of traditional fairy tale godmothers.
What we did:
- Web Design - Worked with their existing site template and branding to create a fun and friendly design for the Fairy Godmother’s Blog
- WordPress Integration
EveryMeeting.com
EveryMeeting’s goal is to make marketing meetings easier for professional meeting organizers by creating a centralized hub of events that users can easily search by interest. MetaSpring designed and developed the system from the ground up to accomplish these goals and remain adaptable for future development.

- Custom Ruby On Rails Web Application
Amish Furniture Home - Design & Decor Blog
Amish Furniture Home, part of the Amish Tables family of websites, needed to better communicate the hand-crafted, quality nature of the products they discussed on their blog and we were happy to oblige!
What we did:
- Refreshed their existing blog design to give it a more custom, hand-crafted look and feel
- HTML / CSS Modifications
- Customized their existing WordPress installation to optimize usability
NNDC MoodBook
The National Network of Depression Centers wanted to create a site where their researchers from around the world could share their work in a collaborative environment. Utilizing the Scientific Collaborative Framework developed at Harvard University, we put together a clean and elegant design with the flexibility of the Drupal CMS to create a site that they could easily maintain internally.
What we did:
- Web Design
- HTML / CSS Templating
- Integration with a customized Drupal CMS installation utilizing the Scientific Collaboration Framework
E.W. Lynch
And last but certainly not least, the blogging home of our very own, multi-talented, Director of Operations, Eric Lynch! When he’s not here at MetaSpring directing ALL of our operations, Eric can be found hunched over his drafting table, hard at work on the latest issue of his graphic novel.
What we did:
