We’ve been busy–cranking out a slew of good sites recently. Here are a few:

The centerpiece of Problem-Loan-Solutions is the long sign-up form, but we still managed to squeeze plenty of valuable information into the page without making it appear crowded or busy. The photo of the woman holding the “Approved” loan application is somewhat cliche, but perfect in this context. Despite the serious subject matter, the site is friendly, cheerful and welcoming.

Most of their competitors’ sites are bland and corporate, but Certificate Management Solutions wanted something that would stand apart from the pack (without getting too crazy, of course). When they first saw our black and purple design, they said it reminded them of “a New Wave nightclub”. They loved the bold, bright colors…and they especially loved how it revived their online marketing efforts.

Just because a company offers obscure financial products, it doesn’t mean their site has to be bland. Take a look at how we made the process of shopping for a surety bond colorful and exciting.

This insurance technology company needed a corporate Web site that lives up to their reputation as a provider of sophisticated online services. Nothing fancy here—just a classy design that communicates a sense of trustworthiness.

The creators of 4healthykids told us they wanted better results from their web site. Specifically, they wanted more search traffic and a higher conversion rate. This job was perfect for us.

We made a series of changes to the design, in order to better communicate their company values and the trustworthiness of their products. Then, we focused on getting better search engine rankings.
Unlike many other firms, we don’t just launch a new site and let it go. Realizing that better results are a process, not a one-time goal, we continually monitor and adjust our strategy for each client. Each month, we provide easy-to-understand reports that show how your site is attracting and converting more customers. If something’s not working, we call attention to it, and suggest a strategy to solve it.

One of our clients has three separate services under their corporate umbrella. Each service has the same general audience (Chicago singles), but is tailored to slightly different age categories and tastes. The original problem was that the three sites were competing against each other in the search engine listings.
We were trying to optimize all three sites. That’s when we realized we could save energy and money by optimizing only one site to bring in three times the leads.
The solution was to build a search engine landing page, which we named The Sterling Register. We collaborated with another search engine marketing firm to build it.
The concept behind this landing page is to collect traffic for all three services, and then let the visitor decide which service is right for them. This actually works better than our original method (trying to get all three sites listed) because the visitor is exposed to all three services at once.

In collaboration with our partner, we used all the latest and best techniques to get this page listed highly in the search engine rankings. Our client has noticed a dramatic increase in their online sales since launching The Sterling Register. If your company has several different sites that are competing for the same eyeballs, why not consider creating a landing page to funnel all traffic through a single source. We can help you determine your search engine strategy and build a landing page that will get results.

We’re very proud of our recent charity project, Cannon Children Crusade. We helped a local family build a fundraising web site to help the father of three young children whose mother passed away. We hope the site will draw attention to this family’s situation.

To help the Cannon family raise funds for the kids, we placed a Paypal donation button in a prominent spot on the page. We also added a “Tell a Friend” feature so people can spread the word about this cause. We have a feeling that this feature will be very successful.
We hope that you will consider a donation to help the Cannon children.
