A Website with a Mission
Companies with a Mission (CWAM) is a unique blending of social action and business. It was established to accomplish two goals: Build houses for deserving families in Ensenada, Mexico. Help business leaders give their employees and their families the opportunity to serve others in a life-changing home build experience. Our challenge was to build one website for this non-profit association which would tell both stories. We knew we wanted to use many of the photos of the children and families engaged in the program. At the same time, our client also wanted to appeal to the...

It used to be that you were known by your vehicle. Service contractors and industrial companies like Lauck Manufacturing use trucks and vans to transport materials and workmen. The truck holds your logo, your phone number and your reputation. However, today’s market demands something more. Consumers use the Internet like a phonebook. A common search to find Indianapolis area mechanics might be “mechanic Indianapolis”. People are only looking at the first three or four results from that search to find the mechanic they’re going to call. Signage on fleet vehicles is...

One of Roundpeg’s first WordPress web design projects was the site we built for my husband’s metal sculpting business. At the time, the site was built on a cutting-edge template, with a photo gallery plugin that tied directly to his Flickr account. Every time he showed someone his portfolio, he was showing off a piece of mine as well. The problem was, that like many of our clients, he didn’t take the time to update it often. The extra step required to upload photos to Flickr was cumbersome and unnecessary, so most of his newest pieces were not included. And in the...

When you hear the name American Eagle Basketball Goals you probably envision something in red, white and blue with a heavy Serif font to give it a traditional feel. But this product is anything but traditional and so one of Jenna’s challenges was to give them a logo which would make them stand out as well.

The one she selected is strong, but not a literal image of an eagle with arms...
