Hoosier Riverwatch

EcoLogik was involved in the first online iteration of the Hoosier Riverwatch program. The program began in 1996 to increase public awareness of water quality issues and concerns by training volunteers to monitor stream water quality

Ecologik and Jackson Sky teamed up with Riverwatch to upgrade the site to newer technologies. Data entry became easier on mobile phones and staff at IDEM have an admin portal to manage the roughly 120K individual tests. The shining star of the upgrade was the Search and Visualize tools created by EcoLogik. Citizens of Indiana can now easily look up water quality scores for locations across the state.

Student Major Finder

Prospective students know their interests but struggle to match them with the right major and translate their choice into a viable career. To solve this, RHB—a higher ed marketing consultancy with more than 26 years of experience working with colleges and universities—developed an interactive solution.

Ecologik and Jackson Sky teamed up with RHB to build The Major Key from the ground up. A database system was developed for quick response with the user experience. Click-and-search words were tracked in a dashboard, so universities could have quantitative data about the all searched terms and majors. The site was fully responsive, and intense jQuery coding was done to interact with the mySQL data engine.

Jon does far more than extend development capacity—he’s a can-do problem solver whose resourcefulness is only matched by his sense of humor.

Client: The Mattison Corporation

Members Only

The Mattison Corporation (TMC) is an association management firm that specializes in managing non-profit associations. TMC offers part time services for associations that would normally not be able to afford the cost of a full time staff. With the growth of TMC and acquisition of more organizations, it was clear that no out-of- the-box solution existed for coordinators to track membership dues.

EcoLogik was tasked with developing a solution to track dues, committee membership, membership types, and invoicing for all TMC associations. TMC staff were spending wasted hours using isolated Excel sheets to track contacts and dues. Countless meetings between TMC and EcoLogik led to a specialized dues and billing solution that has reduced hours spent by staff and increased confidence in membership data.

Jon’s great at thinking through all the possible scenarios when beginning a new project and isn’t afraid to learn new methods to achieve a desired outcome. He treats projects like a true partnership to ensure that everyone is happy with the final product.

Keep It Clean!

The White River Alliance and the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation teamed up in 2010 to implement this unusual social marketing strategy designed to increase awareness of the impact daily life choices have on water quality. The focus began in Indiana but is now spreading across the country. Users can pledge to make choices that protect our water. Choices continue to grow as new partners expand the range of actions.

EcoLogik teamed with Jackson Sky to create this unique online experience. A robust admin portal (think WordPress and Facebook) was built where content can be entered by partners and viewed by users.. Pledge data is easily stored and farmed. To date, over 10,000 pledges have been made nationwide. EcoLogik's background of biology/fisheries science made communication with the client seamless.

I love working on website projects with Jon! He is extremely creative, knowledgeable, and patient - a rare combination in this field!

Client: Dr. Tavel

Where are my glasses!

Dr. Tavel is a family-owned business operating 21 store locations across Indiana. Each store offers a range of eye health services that help patients correct and protect their vision. Dr. Tavel stores also carry a large selection of designer frames and fashion-forward eyewear.

Dr. Tavel asked Jackson Sky to redesign its website to include a powerful Store Locator. Jackson Sky leaned on EcoLogik to implement this. Using a generic third party WordPress plugin, we were able to build a filterable and sortable experience. Users not only search in the closest zip code, but can also find stores based on Hours of Operation, Spanish-speaking staff, and walk-in availability. The altered plugin leans heavily on jQuery to filter and sort data without the need to call the server over and over, giving the user a much faster experience.

When it comes to custom maps, Jon is our go-to guy. So when Dr. Tavel needed a robust store locator, we knew Jon’s jQuery skillset and problem-solving abilities would be the perfect fit.
