We specialize in custom web development and e-commerce sites for small to medium sized businesses. Creator of VisitMishawaka.com.
 

ABOUT US

We are a full-service Website Design and Development Company with extensive marketing and publications experience. We offer web and print design, ad placement, logo design, custom programming as well as website and email hosting services.

Recently, we realized a lot of businesses have a site, but, need someone to help maintain it. We offer low-cost solutions to assist in site maintenance, style upgrades, functionality enhancements, copy editing, and photography.

One of our clients is Murphy Guest House Bed & Breakfast, a Victorian B&B in Bristol, IN. Their site features a multi-level photo gallery so that Ann and Gary André can showcase some of the many events held at their lovely B&B.

Our customer list includes Healthy Communities Initiative of St. Joseph County's for whom we built the St Joseph Tobacco Quit Project (STQP), Expo for Women and the Drug Free Community Council sites.

The City of Mishawaka partnered with us on the VisitMishawaka.com suite of sites in 2006.

A few years ago, we created a small business package for start-ups such as McLaughlin Masonry. We also have a small manufacturing business package we created for BD Custom Manufacturing, Inc. in Bristol, IN; and, a shopping cart look with optional checkout for Troyer Products, Inc..

Culver Duck Farms, Middlebury, IN is one of our full-service marketing clients. We do everything from photography to copyrighting, to magazine ad design and placement, to print materials and web design, marketing and advertising. This year we will launch their new site.

We are also working with companies like Russell Products, Inc. of Bristol, Indiana on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as well as building around their existing website to create a better showcase for their extensive product line.

We went on to create the RVQgrill.com website for them to showcase a portable grill they carry designed specifically for the recreational vehicle (RV) market and then GrillGater.com for their stand-up tailgating model. Their first sale came in three days after the RVQgrill.com site was launched, and sales have steadily increased since then. Because of the success of the RVQ II Grill, Russell has now asked us to create an E-Commerce site for their Russell 676 spray adhesive product which we just completed:

We have served as a consultant for clients such as Service Printers and MicroIntegration. We analyze the effectiveness of current websites and also assist in software selection and troubleshooting.

Dan's Service Center in Elkhart, Indiana was our first website to utilize a hybrid product section. Products can be turned off if Dan only offers them for sale at his shop at the 80/90 Indiana Toll Road location, or can be turned on to be available for on-line sales. Products can be added to the e-commerce line with the click of a button. Troyer Products, one of the Platinum Distributors of VELCRO® Brand Hook and Loop also uses our product showcase.

Besides Indiana, we're doing work now for companies in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Michigan and Texas. We haven't even met some of our clients, such as Marcia Zwilling and Jan Mirkin owners of The Equestrian Network and founders of the largest online Equestrian Community in the world, EquestrianSingles.com which was featured on The Oprah Show.

Sometimes, we partner as the right arm of companies who want to sell a job but don't have the internal staff to produce all of the components needed to complete the job.

What started as a simple print and web design company has grown to a full-service marketing, web development and website consulting team specializing in print advertising, form-updateable websites; search engine optimization (SEO); google and banner advertising implementation; customized add-ons such as updateable slideshows, archivable news, and multi-recipient contact forms; online calendars and one-stop e-commerce solutions. We offer excellent service, and our marketing expertise as a value-add. And, we believe in partnering and maintaining win-win relationships with our customers, vendors and competitors.

This philosophy of business has carried us through the tough-times that all small businesses have; and, has given us some wonderful friends in the process. Thirteen years later, working with our friends in Mishawaka, we are where we are now: putting our skills to work for the businesses of this great city.

Please let us hear "your" stories. We are looking for businesses to profile in our Editor's Choice column. Best wishes for much success! We look forward to serving you!
