ABOUT
Business partners Nicole and Linda have been working as a team since 2002. Serving together on the Board of Directors for a non-profit organization, the Illinois Youth Dance Theatre, they found that their talents came together in a unique and complimentary fashion. They founded and incorporated C&O in 2006 based upon their mutual interests in art and technology. As digital designers, they work with Adobe Creative Suite programs, WordPress and Wix website design themes, and Canon cameras. Their collaboration has since expanded into fine art, highlighted by their signature online galleries, e-shops, and insightful Midwest lifestyle blog.

NEWS
Featuring a website that we completed for the Arizona Glass Alliance (AGA). This non-profit group of glass art enthusiasts wanted a website that would be under their own control. They contracted with us to design and build the site, and we continue to enter information at their request. They manage their own hosting and domain, bringing C&O in as administrators for the account. We designed this site in Wix for ease of editing and for the ability for this group to manage their own site.
C&O volunteered help with a reunion website for The Raoul Company National Tour of The Phantom of the Opera. We began with the free version of WordPress, using WordPress.com, but ended up moving the site to a WordPress.org platform so that we could implement Paypal and have the ability to edit more files.
