Yi-Jia Susanne Hou site launch

Authored by Doug on Apr 19, 2008

Visual Lizard is proud to announce the re-design and launch of www.susannehou.com. Susanne is a virtuoso violinist that is based in New York and Toronto and has left her mark in music history by being the first violinist ever to capture 3 Gold Medals with unanimous decisions at international violin competitions.

We were initially approached to develop a site for Susanne in the summer of 2007 as her current site was not meeting her needs. Susanne  travels the world and needed her site to contain fresh content and updates in regards press and the shows she was taking part in. Our Catalyst CMS was a perfect fit for her.

We enlisted our friends at spacecadet design to assist on the graphical side of the project as we were working diligently to provide her with a site with features that were customized to her personal style and taste.

Using our proprietary Catalyst Content Management System, we were able to assist Susanne with features such as:

• easy to update current news and press section
• current events
• photo gallery
• customized Hou to Dine Section allowing Susanne the opportunity to let us in on her favorite dining locations around the globe

The site is already getting rave reviews and we are looking forward to seeing Susanne on her next visit to Winnipeg.
