Newport, Oregon Private School, Our Living School

Newport, Oregon has a new private school for K-3rd grade.  Here’s a bit about the school from their website:

“If we attempt to move education forward but we focus only on the students, then we will be as successful as training a one-winged bird to fly.  In order for education to be truly revolutionary, the teacher accepts herself as a student of life as well.  Then in a dynamic, inquiry-based educational environment, the teacher and the students come together and root themselves in their love of learning and passion for living.”

Our Living School is joy-based education, and their website reflects that!  Learn more at www.ourlivingschool.org.

E-Commerce Sites by Gray’s Web Design

We enjoy building custom, updatable e-commerce sites.  Our clients can add, edit and delete their own products and manage their orders database all in one place.  They can offer coupon codes, put products on sale, manage inventory, and much more.

Here are a few of our faves:

Ocean Beaches Glassblowing and Gallery:

www.oceanbeachesglass.com has a large inventory of glass art by a variety of Oregon Coast artists.  You can navigate through the aritsts or through the shopping categories.  And you can learn more about the local galleries.  Enjoy!

www.loghomestore.com has an inventory of thousands of products, all available for secure purchase online.  They manage their entire site themselves, including articles that are useful for log home builders, all of their site pages, and of course their products inventory.

What Should I Do On My Vacation?

When you’re asking yourself that question, what’s the first thing you do?  Check out the tourism websites of course! 

Building websites for tourism-related businesses is one of our main focuses here at Gray’s Web Design.

Check out this enticing website for Lochaerie Resort on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State www.lochaerie.com:

Their website sports an availability calendar customized just for them.  Plus they can update every single page of their website.  Isn’t it great to be in control?

And besides figuring out where to stay, you want to decide what to do.  Here’s a fun site that we just did for Sand Dunes Frontier in Florence, Oregon.  This business owner had the idea to embed a variety of videos right into the design.  Why be boring, right?  www.sanddunesfrontier.com
