Project Update: Wyntree Construction

Check out our new project, www.wyntreeconstruction.com. Since 1988, they have been building beautiful custom homes in Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. They are based in Lake Geneva, WI, and have some very unique projects that will amaze you!

Our role was a re-design using their existing graphics from an out-dated frames based web design to a more modern look that's friendlier to search engines.

The Baywalk - a new look for Williams Bay, WI

Being an (almost) lifetime resident of Williams Bay, WI, I fondly remember the days when I'd ride my bike past the Keg Room on my way to Edgewater Park. In that same building was a laundromat, another local pub, and a few small retail stores. About 10 years ago the building was the victim of a fire that demolished everything, and since then it's been an empty lot.

I'm happy to report that this summer a new condominium and retail building will be built in that spot, with a definite upscale look. The project is called The Baywalk, and will consist of 8 retail spaces and 8 condos. The building will give Williams Bay's downtown area a beautiful new look, and also provide some of the most desirable living and retail spaces in the Lake Geneva area and Southeast Wisconsin.

As someone who grew up in this community, I'm very happy to have contributed to the project by building the website, which can be seen at www.thebaywalk.com

The Lamp Magazine - a new art & music magazine focusing on Walworth County, WI

I'm excited to inform everyone that my lovely finance is starting a new bi-monthly magazine focusing on local artists and musicians. I of course built the website, and I'll also be writing a column for the magazine focusing on the tech side of art & music. With a distribution of 25,000, you'll be able to find copies of The Lamp pretty much everywhere in Walworth County.

Look for the first issue to be released this spring, and the initial build of the website can be seen at www.thelampmag.com.

Project Update: Delaney Street Mercantile

My latest completed project is a site for a Lake Geneva shop called Delaney Street Mercantile. Delaney Street Mercantile is located across from the public library, and features beautiful and unique home decor items. This project was a lot of fun for me in that the store owners were a great to work with, and I also got to test my photography might in taking all the pictures for the site. They weren't looking for an e-commerce storefront, so the photos were taken to display the look and feel of the store. Some of my favorites include the photo of the glass golf putters on the homepage, and a shot from behind an antique toy airplane that makes it appear as if you're flying through the store.

I encourage everyone to check out their website, and if you're in town, stop in the store and see some of their many ceramic flying pigs!
