As mentioned on our portfolio page, we have been designing and developing websites and web-based applications for over 20 years, but most of our work is not available to the public. It resides primarily inside corporate intranets, behind firewalls away from prying eyes.
Here’s just a little bit about how we’ve helped some of our public customers.
Battle Hill Brewing Company
Battle Hill Brewing Company is a local restaurant and brewery with a genuine family atmosphere and plenty of history!
When Matt purchased the business, one of his first goals was to modernize the website. Their old site was about 15 years old (and it looked every bit of it). It was lacking up-to-date information, a readable menu and analytics.
Battle Hill had hundreds of excellent customer reviews – but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the old site.
Special effort was made to make the website the centerpiece of their online presence by tying it into online reviews, and social media.
Facebook and Google search ads are also utilized for improved traffic.
Sweet’s Automotive
Sweet’s Automotive is a local mechanic specializing in European repair.
An honest mechanic is a rare thing and we felt they deserved their digital day, as it were. Since they had no site to begin with, this project was a wide open, blue-sky endeavor.
Key points of interest for Chris and Abbey were to be able to field common questions from prospective customers, such as “do you perform _ service?” as well as schedule routine service appointments.
We created an online scheduling system allowing customers to request an appointment for routine services without even making a call.
Email capture was also implemented for notification of future sales and specials.
Lastly, Sweet’s had a good deal of excellent reviews on Google, so we made sure those glowing testimonials were brought to the forefront.
Rustik Roots
Rustik Roots is a unique creator of artisan birdhouses. One of a kind, one at a time – and built to last! Their attention to craft, construction and conservation truly set them apart from other birdhouse builders.
Located in Saratoga Springs, but looking to share their gift of craftsmanship and artistry with the rest of the country, Bob and Susan knew they needed an ecommerce presence but felt overwhelmed with choices and decisions. They reached out to us seeking construction of an online store, but the guidance and clarity they received set them at ease with path ahead.
After a fruitful discovery and strategy session, they felt they had not only a firm footing for future of the business, but all the pieces they needed for a strong launch and steady growth going forward.
For our part, it was a pleasure to work with such dedicated individuals with equal care for the craft, the environment, and the birds that will ultimately make these houses a home.
Bastard Restobar
Bastard Restobar is a unique take on blending cultures and cuisine, bring flavors from around the world to Glens Falls, NY.
When Shannon decided to open her own restaurant, she faced two challenges:
- The uphill battle of starting a new business.
- Turning her vision into a clear, actionable plan for her website.
She came to us for help, trusting our expertise to guide her through the process. We worked closely with Shannon, not just to build her website, but to truly understand her goals and translate them into a successful launch.
Collaborating with passionate entrepreneurs like Shannon is what drives us, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her dream come to life!
Church of the Messiah
The Church of the Messiah website was a ground-up redesign of a fairly outdated website. To complicate things, the church had relied on a nationwide company for their website needs and that company had a data failure.
After backups were restored, the church was left with a site that was a year old and incomplete.
We were brought in to painstakingly scour internet archives to gather and reconstruct the lost content.
Objectives for the redesign included a clean & open design, consistent presentation across a variety of devices, streamlined content structure and a modern look.
Routine content updates and content expansion are ongoing.
Cloud 9 Canine
Nicole brought us in to help with the redesign of her website for her pet sitting business, Cloud 9 Canine.
Her design goals were a balance between whitespace and colorful call-outs with the pet-friendly focus of her brand.
Her business goals were to drive more leads and user engagement through contact form usage, informational packet download and newsletter sign-ups.
Ottocon
Ottocon is The Premier Mid-Hudson Valley, NY Gaming Convention. Every year they host a game day in the park for RPG’s and table top games of all kinds. It’s a family friendly event that’s fun for all.
The goals here were to keep things simple for their June launch in celebration of the 3rd year of the convention.
The members wanted their own website to drive people to who have either seen print advertising or social media posts, where they could learn more about the event.
They also wanted a newsletter sign up so they could reach out to interested parties throughout the year as they plan events for the next convention.
Additionally, they needed analytics so they could judge the effectiveness of various marketing campaigns.
Adirondack Myeloma Support
Adirondack Myeloma Support is a Support Group for people with Multiple Myeloma in the Adirondack Area.
The goals here were a clean and readable site design that utilized the “awareness ribbon” logo and Multiple Myeloma color scheme.
The members wanted their own website to drive people to who have either seen print advertising or social media posts, where they could learn more about the group.
They also wanted a domain email account, since leaders rotate regularly and using personal email addresses was no longer helpful.
Middle 8 Reviews
Middle 8 Reviews is a blog site that focuses on guitars and guitar equipment reviews.
The goals here were a new site design to look more professional (and less like a blog), new logo header and plenty of organic search traffic.
SEO was a prominent priority for traffic, and site performance was important with such an image rich site.
Facebook and Google search ads were also utilized for improved traffic.
