Bayshore Solutions is an Innovator Award winner in the 2009 Summit Emerging Media Award competition for their work with the Offshore Sailing School website.

The main goal of this project was to tastefully combine Offshore Sailing School, Colgate Schools, Colgate 26, Offshore Sailing Club and PowerCruise websites to all reside in one location. This was accomplished according to CEO and President of Offshore Sailing School, Doris Colgate, “with truly beautiful templates wrapping each one.”

CEO and President Kevin Hourigan of Bayshore Solutions said, “Being recognized with an Innovator Award is an extreme honor. The Offshore Sailing School website is a trend-setter in the sailing industry and will be admired like all of their accomplishments and sailing offerings. The Web development of the site brings together all the entities owned and managed by Steve and Doris Colgate incorporated into one website.”

Incorporating the Bayshore Solutions content management system gives control and flexibility to make content changes. “One of the great things about this new website is that I can change anything on a moment’s notice. Bayshore Solutions’ designed completely new templates for me, with a content management system that allows immediate response to changing conditions in the marketplace,” said Doris Colgate.

The Summit EMA competition is based on the premise that advertising is consistently at the forefront of the technological evolution of communication. Some of this year’s judges included: Peter Gorman  – Restaurant.com; Chris Jones – Stellar Debris Creative Studios; and Mahiette Tarrago – xpert-design.com. 

“Those involved in today’s emerging media technologies are the leaders who are establishing tomorrow’s avenues of advertising communications,” said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director for the Summit International Awards (SIA).  “Most communication professionals recognize that established avenues of communication can be reliable and safe.  Developing and engaging in emerging media technologies, along with creative messaging and market awareness, is often a difficult criterion which makes earning a Summit EMA a significant achievement.”
