Northwest Indiana Website Design & Web Development

A very appealing and elegant design offers spaces where the latest happening are shown seamlessly. The navigation was completely reorganized to create a better user experience so people can quickly find what they are looking for. Using words people would actually type when they are searching for a topic resulted in an immediate higher ranking in the search engines. We used the developer version of Squarespace in order to change features the way we needed them to be and because it offers a nice shopping cart for selling their branded clothing and stickers. We customized the Community Partner slider to show over 50 business supporters. 

Exceptional Equestrians' website looks good on the surface, but it also contains many easy-to-use backend features that allow the admin to quickly update any content. EEU provides therapeutic horseback riding to individuals with special abilities.

For example, each website home page slide is changed by using a simple form. EEU can update the horses and leadership team listings the very same way. Not much training is needed either, and we are always here to answer any questions.

Showcasing beautiful homes was the order of the day. Well thought-out floor plans and communities also needed to be displayed. Since inventory changes all of the time, really cool customized modules were coded to allow Nardo Builders to quickly update their new homes for sale, open house info, and model information. Admins can change images, links to MLS, floorplans and virtual tours. 

This website was completely overhauled and is now beautifully re-designed so the user can find information quickly. The hero image (the top header image) was custom designed with a unique look. VIA's easy-to-manage CMS enables EPS to change content anytime they desire.

Carried forward by the Proimos family, the site was created to give Greek American students help with their college education. Our student application system adds automation to the process of receiving, storing, and posting information to the website. This makes awarding scholarships easier, and helps maintain the online alumni directory. We feel honored to be chosen to develop their website.

Annual Reports are rarely printed anymore. Regional Care Group has published their annual report online for the last few years. A functional system of navigation tabs makes is fast and easy to direct readers to the information they seek. It was a fun project to design all of the header graphic and charts. Function and design really came together for this report.

Waste disposal never looked so good! From design to function, this site delivers. We created three different custom forms including an online job application, community donation request form, and a very involved "Get a Quote" form. IWS will be able to keep the content current using VIA's proprietary content management system.

Search engine optimization played an important role from the very beginning. The site is full of waste removal dumpsters and truck options. Content was arranged for the user to be able to find what they need and get a quote easily.

VIA's Turnpike provides KCI an expandable website where adding more pictures and new products grow over time. The tools are ready when they are. Time and again we see so much success with our customizable, content management system.

As the weather changes, pumpkins and Christmas trees are sold. A photo gallery allows Big John's Farm Market to show case their beautiful flowers and plants as well as their large, local greenhouse facilities.

There are many government rules surrounding a brokerage firm and what they do can get complicated and over someone's head. (Not you, of course.) Neat and tidy, this site showcases how a simple website can look good and deliver a message clearly. It features a side bar on the right with an accordion feature to define types of accounts. Did you notice the disclaimer tucked just above the form? When you click on it you will see the long, required disclosures.

This pretty website offers an up-to-date directory of licensed doulas in the area. It started as a template, and grew from there. Presenting as neat accordion feature, the owner has access to add or update each bio in the network any time. Two extensive forms were developed, one as a contact form and the other as a career form. There are videos and podcast links.

We completely transformed this manufacturer's website and re-focused everything for user experience. We placed all products in super menu categories so a visitor could very quickly find what they are looking for. E-commerce websites are highly customized and we worked closely through the customer process setting up payment gateways and shipping.

This website shows their work through pictures. We've organized them into galleries and Pro Tec Tile is in charge of adding and tagging. Potential customers are always looking for ideas plus they want to see the beautiful installations. Keyword research drives the navigation. 

You want to see it before you buy it, right? This re-design was driven by the need for a mobile-friendly photo gallery with potential customers in mind. Inventory changes often, so Camille now has an efficient way to load pictures. We used our Scenic website theme, which adds a filterable gallery to our Turnpike small business theme. Keywords were researched and added to the meta tags to help with search. Maps and their phone number click to what you need, plus a Facebook feed is in the footer. We expect them to have a great selling season....if only it will stop raining!

An example of customization within our Turnpike theme, the Miller Community Fund's website features an in-depth, online grant application form, a donate button and an accordion area that effortlessly handles a list of their all-star volunteers. The most important information about the community fund is on one easy-to-navigation page they can edit themselves.

A great example of our incredibly affordable Turnpike theme, this site gave Ma's Li'L Champs a mobile-friendly, 4-page web presence thay can update anytime they desire. The program page is visual and well designed. We worked on search engine optimization (SEO) strategies so they will be found by local parents in need of a child care facility.

Even though the domain says 1999, the band's website is full of today's technology. VIA's one-page Turnpike theme was further customized to create an editable schedule of performances, a dedicated page for their media kit, sample tracks so you can listen, and a Facebook feed, all in a clean modern design that works on devices of all sizes. 

This completely custom website is responsive in design, so it looks great on screens of all sizes. It utilizes Search Engine Optimization best practices to ensure the site reaches as many customers as possible, and its dynamic product gallery allows users to explore products simply and conveniently. To ensure page content remains current and relevant, web pages can be easily added, removed, and edited through VIA Marketing's proprietary, user-friendly Content Management System.

This website enables HBA members to post jobs and receive applications through its jobs page, features a customizable directory of HBA members, allows for the management of events and event ticket sales, and is fully customizable through the familiar WordPress administrator dashboard.

Nonprofits need an inexpensive solution for developing a website that functions well and is easy for volunteers to maintain. VIA answered the call with this one.

For many industries an organized photo gallery works to sell craftsmanship, different applications and range of skill. Scroll to the middle of his homepage and you will experience how D. Howard's portfolio speaks to you.

Adding photos to the gallery is paramount for a builder. We designed this website to showcase their work. 

Crown Point's very own veterinarian needed an informational website for new and existing patients. Forms are handy. Links to more information are everywhere. There is even a link to their shopping cart. BTW, we designed the custom slides, their logo, and we created the sign on Rte. 231.

We designed a unique layout for them with custom header graphics, icons and call-to-action buttons. Our organization solution included two websites within one access from tabs at the top. There is a residential services side and a commercial business side. Using our contact managment system, MTA makes their changes on demand. 

We are proud of how good this site looks and how well it functions. It is a nice example of our custom one-page theme. With a content management system ATIS can make future updates on their own. It's secure, functional and will go through time well.

A project gallery is really important to Season's Lanscape because showcasing their work gives others good ideas. We used our Scenic Theme with the gallery feature.
