We recently improved our server backup solutions and are happy to announce that Edgeworks Creative now provides real-time file backups for our client websites. Our new system scans our servers for files that have changed and automatically captures a real-time offsite backup of any files that are added, removed or changed. This means that in the event of a disaster we will now be able to recover all our client website data quickly with minimal chance of data loss.    Read More >>

After a brief hiatus (blame the snow?)- Friday Props is back! This week the focus is on a highly under-appreciated form of art: body painting.  There is a taboo with this art form because of the *gasp* nudity and the impression that it can not be "fine art". Our goal at Edgeworks is to look at all forms of creativity (hence Edgework CREATIVE!) and broaden our horizons as well as those of our clients and friends. It's all about thinking outside the box- or in this case... The canvas.  Johannes Stötter shows that body painting CAN be fine art.            Johannes is an expert Read More >>

Creative is in our name and Collaboration is in our veins - our first collaborative website project with another design firm has led to a new website for Mayo Healthcare. Read More >>

When Edgeworks Creative first moved to Waterbury, VT from its' former location in Rochester, VT one of the first people to welcome us to our new location was Laura Parette. We've had the great fortune of working together with her in her roles with Revitalizing Waterbury and the Waterbury Tourism Council and were quite happy to take on the redesign of the website for her design business: Laura Parette Design. The old site was static, requiring that she call her old firm and ask for changes if she wanted any (and if she wanted to spend money). She and Cynthia worked Read More >>

I missed a week of Friday Props - it's almost becoming the norm. And today as I sat at lunch and suddenly remembered it's Friday and I had to bang out the weekly, I knew that if I had to Face It then so, too, would our readers. So it's the Face It edition of Friday Props. Up first for some Props-worthy photo and video work is some doggedly good stuff from Carli Davison as featured in her book Shake. The moments captured and slowed down can be both disturbing and delightful and certainly not what I typically imagine when thinking of Read More >>

This week I'm handing out Props to awesome steeped in a sense of history. This week it's old-school style and to start out we're going to go WAY old school - back to the 7th century in Japan where a tradition of grandparents and parents using silk threads of worn kimonos to fashion intricate balls for their children on New Years' day. One 92 year old woman in Japan has been creating these since the 1960's and now has a collection of nearly 500 of these fanciful and impressive traditional Japanese temari handballs. Serious Props handed out to this woman. Unfortunately I Read More >>

Here we are again with another week zooming by and another round of Friday Props (over)due. This week I'm bringing you things to light up your weekend. At first it was tempting to find some excellent Christmas light displays, but I think I found some much, much cooler stuff to fit the theme this week and I hope you'll agree. Hat tip to Mahala for bringing this one to our attention. Props going out to Wrecking Orchestra for it's use of light in this insanely fun Tron Dance. From the futurisitc to the far past we travel away from the Japanese dance Read More >>

Wonder where Friday Props has gone off to? Fear no more - we're back! In Props #75 we look at animals made of shattered CDs, faces with cool and wild makeup and the nature of kids with stickers. Read More >>

Star Wars... It's a popular topic in the office. Which is why the announcement of the release date for Star Wars Episode VIII (December 18, 2015) was kind of a big deal here. Props going out to that galaxy far, far away. In honor of this (future) day, I have made a plan for people who really want to get in the spirit of things before going to watch the premiere.  Start the day off with a delicious Star Wars themed breakfast. These Pancake shapes are so cute you won't even want to eat them (but you will).  Most of us don't have Read More >>

Now that the Edgeworks Crew is all back together in adorable Waterbury, Vermont again. I would like to point out an awful truth: winter is coming, people.  Yesterday and today are not good indications of this, but on Tuesday morning I had to SCRAPE THE WINDOWS OF MY CAR, which made me late to work, which then threw off my mojo for the whole day.  There's this new trend of "Life Hacks" abound on the internet, so I was thinking maybe I could compile a winter specific list to make all of our friends/family/frenemies who live in colder climates have an easier Read More >>
