Can’t Touch This Website
Roundpeg is proud to present a brand new website for Martin Insurance Group. This was a special one for me. For the first time, I modified almost everything about the WordPress theme. Like gutting and renovating a home, I left the fundamental structure alone, but took out all the old design elements and reworked them to create a wholly original look. The website redesign project began with basic direction from the client. They wanted to look good on tablets and mobile devices and they wanted the website to reflect the company’s earnest, personal approach to customer service. We looked...

Many of the web design projects we do are simply updates or redesigns of existing sites. And each time we get one of those, we start with a few basic questions: Where is your domain name registered? Where is the site hosted? What are the passwords to access and change the site? And I am frequently horrified when the client tells me they don’t know, because their “web designer” or “marketing company” has the information. The reason I am horrified is that they are at risk if something happens to that marketing company. I don’t wish anything bad to happen to any of my competitors,...

A flashy website is really no website at all if you can’t control it. Indiana’s Community Catalyst Resource Group is an alliance of designers, architects, developers and other specialists. As their name suggests, they’re a resource for communities looking to make big changes to benefit their members. Their old website was lovely but hard to maintain. Our proposal to them was a surprising one. While we recommended many subtle changes, the look and feel to the average visitor would remain mostly the same. What we did: The site was built in WordPress, but the theme they had...

Great Scott, we have done it again. Several years ago Roundpeg worked with Nolan Security & Investigations (NSI) to develop their primary website. As Superbowl XLVI approached, Nolan anticipated a huge hiring event and asked us for an auxiliary website to handle that traffic. Now that things have calmed down, we’re proud to announce a brand new website for Nolan that builds on those past successes and anticipates a promising future of intensive growth for NSI. While the architecture from the old website was perfectly functional, its once-snazzy look was now outdated. Like...
read moreWebsite Therapy for Michigan AMTA
It’s one thing to have a website that let’s you log in and add new content. It is another to have a website that updates the content the way you intend it to. The Michigan chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association (MI-AMTA) has been running on WordPress for years. However, their previous website was a beast. Unpredictable widgets displayed irrelevant content and cluttered their homepage while the real news stories slipped off the front page days after being posted. This had to change. We refined MI-AMTA’s system for updating news stories. They can post daily while...
read moreThe New Lorraine Ball
There is a new Lorraine Ball. Ok, so there is not really a new Lorraine Ball, but there is a new lorraineball.com. I’ve owned the domain for years and it’s had several different forms in that time. It started out as a blog about the local business community. It was also a place where I wrote about things that interested me. At that time, there was no blog on the Roundpeg website. When we moved to the WordPress platform, it was natural to move my business content there. As I got comfortable with my voice, I added what I would classify as editorial and opinion...
