Hometown Flair Makes For Great Website
This week marked the completion of a new website, solarispropertygroup.com. Now, I hate to play favorites, but this site is my favorite to date. Why? One reason: hometown flair. When a company has targeted a geographic region, like Solaris, it’s important to develop a website that makes it recognizable to its particular market. In this case, our client needed a website to establish its image as a player in the Indianapolis market, offering turn-key investment properties. Roundpeg’s very own Peter Wolfgram was the artistic genius behind the website’s focal point – a replica of the...

Look, I get it. You want to look cool. But looking cool means nothing if no one finds you in the first place. As an Indianapolis web design firm, as we work with clients, we usually get the same wishlist.

Types of images, navigation styles and plugins will vary dramatically with the industry and customer objectives. Workplace Safety, an industrial risk management firm based in Indianapolis, came to us for an update of their website.

When I was a Roundpeg intern in the summer of 2009, I oversaw our website redesign. Over the last two years, it’s been a point of pride for me to point to the site and say “I did this.” However, in the last two years web design has undergone quite a shift. While our site is still functional, it’s no longer ”cutting edge”, and quite honestly it seems a bit dowdy in comparison to many of our competitors. As a web design company, we need to be ahead of the curve, not behind it. We are all about reinvention, and today we launched our new, redesigned...
