JWI helps local Minnesota outdoors men with new website
July 26th, 2010 - by Jeff Wagner
Jeff Wagner Interactive was very fortunate to partner with Winter Ranch on a new website project called The Loon Room, which features beautiful art of our state bird the Minnesota Loon.
The Loon Room is the creation of Simone Schara, who with her father, Ron, have developed several nature-related businesses including Ron’s unique outdoor information calendars (outdoorcalendars.com). If the name is familiar, you may have seen Simone on the Pheasants Forever Television on Outdoor Channel, which is hosted by her father. Ron also is regularly seen on Minnesota Bound, a popular outdoor show on KARE 11, an NBC affiliate in Minneapolis, Minn.
Jeff Wagner Interactive created the logo branding and all of the Web Design work for this project and along with Simone, Ron and Winter Ranch we think the website turned out great.
The Loon Room also features a great e-commerce engine that allows all the wonderful works-of-art to be sold right from the website. If you’re a Minnesota Loon fan then The Loon Room will have a loon product that’s sure to please.
JWI would like to thank Simone, Ron and Winter Ranch for allowing us to be a part of this great project.

3D Web Design Experience
February 21st, 2010 - by Jeff Wagner
I finally got around to taking in the
3D Avatar digital experience over the weekend and the movie did not disappoint. I, like everyone else, was completely blown away from the CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) creativity that was put into this movie. When James Cameron creates a movie he does it really big and he is sure to be rewarded for his efforts when awards are to be handed out. The 3D designs were outstanding and really gets the crowd more involved in the movie when animals seem to be running/flying out of the screen right at you.
As I was walking out of the movie theater I
started thinking of 3D website designs, off the
top of my head I could only come up with a couple that really stuck out. Why weren’t there more that came to mind? One of the reasons probably is that I rarely build fully Flash websites because of my obsession with usability, accessibility and simplicity. You lose most of this when building in Flash but you do gain amazing 3D possibilities. So, I went out and did a little looking around and found some sites that have great 3D web experiences and 3D Photoshop tutorials that I wanted to share with you.
3D Websites
3D Photoshop & Illustrator Tutorials
Here is a great collection of 3D tutorials (by Smashing Magazine) that is sure to add some great 3D depth and creativity to your web designs. I use a lot of these types of elements in my designs to help the user more willingly engage and interactive with my websites.
If you know of any other 3D websites out there that are worth mentioning please share them in a comment below.

JWI gets new E-commerce project
November 11th, 2009 - by Jeff Wagner
I have a new E-commerce project in the works that is looking really good. The new website will bring a multi-store company online giving them a whole new presence they never had before. Not only is the site going to look and function great my client is going to have full control over it with content management.
Below is a sample of the home page for this project (sorry, I don’t want to give too much away).
We’re going to really push the user’s overall shopping experience on this site to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I can’t wait to send this project live which hopefully (fingers crossed) will be in the near future. Stay tuned.
