Dolce Beada fine Italian Glass Jewelry

In an effort to create real-life, personal relationships with our customers, we've mainly focused on gaining customers in the states of Wisconsin and Illinois. However, we recently took a project on the west coast for Dolce Beada. Dolce Beada creates fine glass jewlery, and they were looking to replace the website they created in-house with a polished, professional website. With beautiful jewelry to work with, it's easy to make a great looking site.

This project included an e-commerce storefront that is open to the public, but also has the functionality to allow their retailers to place orders online.

For the quality and beauty of their peices, the prices are amazingly low. I encourage you to check out www.dolcebeada.com!

Exterior Lighting Concepts

One of our latest projects comes from a low-voltage outdoor lighting company in East Troy, WI. Exterior Lighting Concepts markets to high-end homes in southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois. They've built a successful business over the past several years, but found they were not getting results from their recent direct mail campaigns.

The solution was to build an attractive, professional website, so when potential customers got their mailings, they would then go online and see a web presence that reflected the quality of their work. Check it out at www.extlights.com

Perfect Bottles

One of the cool things about being in the web design business is meeting new people with interesting ideas. One came along this month in PerfectBottles.com. An entrepreneur from the Milwaukee area came to us in need of a site to promote her new product - a collapsible, reusable water bottle. At first glance it looks like a normal bottle, but it's made in a way that allows it to collapse down to pocket-size so you can take it with you.

Check these out at www.perfectbottles.com.

jdj builders

One of our more extensive projects of late was a re-design for a Milwaukee Design/Build Remodeler - jdj builders. Their project involved many photo galleries and video project tours. We were happy to find they were open to the idea of the video tours, and actually had the idea in mind before coming to us for the website.

The site has been getting great reviews and we love the way it turned out! Go see some of the great work they've done at:

A new year, a new look

You probably noticed that today we rolled out a new design and logo for the company! Our previous design for the site was almost three years old, and I felt the overall look of the site was getting a little outdated.

We're think our fresh, new look will help furthur our recent success, and if January and February are any indication, 2008 looks to be by far the busiest and most profitable year ever!

Thanks to all of our customers for their continued support, and we're looking forward to another great year!

Bartley Square - residential townhomes & retail center in Crystal Lake, IL

I've just finished another real estate development website, and this one is located in Crystal Lake, IL. I worked closely with the customer to develop just the right color scheme, and I think the site turned out beautifully. Their development includes residential townhomes and and a 12,000 sq ft Retail Center. It's a neat idea in that the residents and businesses form their own little community, and I'm sure townhome owners will enjoy the convenience of having businesses located within walking distance.

The development hasn't been built yet, but you can see pre-construction illustrations & floorplans on the site for now. There are plans to add video tours to the website this year after construction is completed.

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.
