Heavy Timber Supplier

Heavy Timber Supplier

We launched the Narrows Creek Timber Frames website in 2017 and the owner Brook Severson has had huge success in attracting new clients and projects.

With a successful launch of that business Brook has been exposed to huge supply heavy timber and recently reached out to see if we could help him create a simple one-page website that could help him sell this timber. We happily accepted the project and came up with this design.

Letter Board Planner

Letter Board Planner

A few days ago I was driving by Cornerstone Church in Reedsburg, WI when I saw the church had a double-sided letter board that had a ton of the same letters on it. I wondered how often churches, schools, and businesses would have to change their initial sign due to lack of letters. How much time was invested in just coming up with a sign that actually fit within the limitations of how many letters they had.

Enter Letter Board Planner.

This site allows you to enter all of the letters you have in your inventory, write your sign, and auto-magically calculates the letters you need while letting you know if you have enough letters to complete the sign.

This site is still under way and many new features are being added every day.

Licthfeld Plumbing

Licthfeld Plumbing

Melanie Lichtfeld at Lichtfeld Plumbing has been one of our customers for a while now. She originally came to Mad City Coders, LLC through a mutual friend Brandi Lloyd. Brandi no longer was able to keep up with the site due to various reasons and asked us to help with some email issues Licthfeld Plumbing owners were having.

When we first dove into this project, it was a mess. The site wasn't working because the DNS entries were taken over by a third party vendor in order to get the email working. Melanie's website was down for weeks and she was losing business at an alarming rate.

We quickly started working with the third party vendor and got control of the DNS for Melanie and sorted things out from there. Now her website and emails were working again.

Fast-forward 1 year and her website's theme was no longer supported. We stepped in once again and updated the website with a new theme that matched the same look and feel of her current website. Here's the result!

Main Street Books

Main Street Books

Dana Westedt is the proud owner of Main Street Books in downtown Reedsburg, WI. Dana approached Mad City Coders, LLC looking for a way to have her website be responsive, modern, and clean. She also needed an easy to use interface that was intuitive and allowed for easy edits to the content of her website.

When we took on Dana's website redesign, we were able to quickly turn the site around and publish it due to her very clear direction and constant communication. We love clients like Dana and love how the site turned out.

If you are ever in the market for some good used books are great prices, this is the place to go!

Apogee Plastics

Launching a website for your business doesn’t have to be a slow or mentally taxing process. Take Apogee Plastics for example. We were approached by Apogee Plastic’s Owner who was looking for a website presence that quickly displayed what her company could do. She expressed that it didn’t have to be something fancy or elaborate, just simple, clean, and informational.

Though we are still working with Alison on the final content of the site, we have released it a while ago to help her gain the web presence she is looking for. Check it out!

Able Trek Tours

We have recently updated Able Trek Tours homepage! Check it out!

 

 

-- Previous Content --

Don Douglas, Owner of Able Trek Tours, approached us for help with his website's SEO. In working with Don we found that his current hosting provider was not allowing him to update his website, the plugins within his website, and back up his site.  This also prevented us from adding any much needed analytic tools to help us discover how the site was doing.

While we took a step back to wait for his hosting provider to provide us with the solutions we needed in order to ensure his site had the capabilities it needed, his site got hacked by someone in India. This marked the fourth site website I've seen hacked in 2017. Two Joomla websites and two WordPress websites. All due to outdated plugins and platforms.

When Don called to tell me his site was hacked, we raced in to move everything we could over to our hosting provider at SiteGround. We created a brand new site for Don and tried to keep the same look and feel the old site had, with a little bit of a modern twist. After spending a few days rebuilding the site, we were ready to launch and get back to business.

The next leg of the journey is to help boost the SEO ratings within all of the major search engines. It's been a pleasure to work with Don so far and we look forward our continued partnership.

Likwindla Investment Club

There exists a website where people can exchange services amongst each other. A ‘you-help-me, I-help-you’ system that we really love. It’s called Simbi.

We posted a service for WordPress Website Development on Friday night of August 17th, 2017 and were hit up right away to help Itumeleng Senekane create an online presence for a Women’s Only Investment Club she was creating. She was struggling to find competent developers and designers that could follow through on her vision.

That night, we presented a design to her and she loved it and wanted to hire us to make her dreams come true with this site.

Less than 3 days later we completed this website ( minus the mobile responsive aspect of it ) and she was delighted.

She is now able to start her investment club and help women in South Africa learn how to invest money and reach their financial goals.

Baraboo Ambulance EMS

When our business launched in April of 2017, we started promoting our services by offering a 25% discount for any web project to the first 2 people who signed contracts. That night we had our first request from Amos Vande Hei asking if we worked with Joomla sites at all.

Having several years of experience of developing within Joomla we continued the conversations and discovered that his current developer had passed away and they were in a rock and a hard place in getting their website refreshed and brought into the 'modern' look and feel that most sites have now.

We walked with Amos through an initial design and planning of a new website and quickly popped out this site for them. It took a while to get it approved and verbiage just right, but here were are with a very solid version 2 of the BDEMS website.
