GSO Hoppers Baseball Site Launched

February 2006

The new Greensboro Grasshoppers Baseball web site was launched on February 1st. “The Beacon Team is very proud of this particular project because it effectively showcases nearly all of our services to the community and local businesses,” says Mark Dirks, Beacon’s President. “Our graphics team really demonstrated its creative abilities with this first release, laying the groundwork for phase 2 enhancements, which includes video. We also integrated the design into our content management and ecommerce software so that the Hoppers’ staff can easily manage their entire site themselves, whether its news releases, banners or their online store.”

“Mark and I are both avid baseball fans, so this was a fun project. But, it was also important to us to deliver a unique site that the Grasshoppers organization would be proud of,” says John Scaramuzzo, Beacon’s VP. “We appreciate the fact that they looked for a dependable local IT firm for this project. Beacon has been the leading provider of web services in this area for some time, so it was a good fit.”

The Greensboro Grasshoppers site was designed & developed by Beacon Technologies. Beacon provides managed hosting for the site at Time Warner Telecom’s co-location facility in Greensboro. Beacon also provides search engine marketing & optimization to promote the organization and city throughout the major search engines.
