River Basin Publications Website

River Basin Publications Website

River Basin Publications had a WIX website that was outdated. This was an easy fix! First I gathered some new images and content from them and mapped out a plan. When they were ready, I put the site into maintenance mode for a few hours and put the new design in place. The new site is much cleaner, more organized, and displays lots of colorful photos of their beautiful print design work.

The Drift Restaurant Website

The Drift Taproom & Restaurant Website

The Drift in Winterset, Iowa started a Squarespace website when they first opened, and as their business flourished quickly, their website needs also expanded. They needed help adding special events to the website, as well as keeping the menus up to date and connecting to Clover to manage orders-to-go.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I went into their existing Squarespace website and updated it so that it now showcases all their current offerings. Each week I go to their Facebook page to see the events and announcements they’ve posted, and I update the website accordingly. It saves them lots of time and ensures that the information is correct and available in both places. Win!

Madison County, Iowa Chamber & Welcome Center

Madison County, Iowa Chamber & Welcome Center

The Madison County Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center website contains a LOT of information and is used for a variety of purposes. It serves as the membership directory for the local Chamber, promoting member businesses within and around the surrounding community. But it also functions as an outreach and source of information for tourists who visit from around the country (and beyond) to see the famous covered bridges, the birthplace home and museum for movie star John Wayne, and more.

This website, as well as the Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce, have been integrated with a 3rd-party software called Chambermaster. Chambermaster provides the functionality for adding events, job postings, member profiles, and hot deals that members wish to promote. It helps the community navigate the website and also provides a CMR for the chamber staff to help with managing members.

Madison County Health Care System Website

Madison County Health Care System Website

Madison County Health Care System, an affiliate of MercyOne, had a website that was hard to keep updated and difficult for visitors to navigate. That’s a particularly bad combination when people are trying to find help for themselves or a loved one in the midst of a medical need! It was my pleasure to work with heads of several departments (marketing, human resources and IT, especially) to build a new site that works well for the community and the staff.

Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce Website

Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce Website

The Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce contacted me to help them integrate their website with Chambermaster, the membership software package they were already using. I had done a similar project for the Madison County Chamber of Commerce, and they wanted something that would function similarly. Both chambers serve as a hub for member support and local tourism, which makes them unique.

I love the challenge of taking a large amount of data and making it user friendly, as well as working with locations that are so naturally picturesque!

Madison County Realty Website

Madison County Realty Website

A real estate website has very specific needs. Properties are listed on the MLX (Multiple Listing Exchange) so that they can be indexed and viewed by buyers and sellers, and of course listings come and go all the time. This information can be integrated into a realtor’s website with an IDX (Internet Data Exchange) plugin. Doing so keeps the data updated at all times, and allows visitors to search all area listings, select and “favorite” properties, request more information, and even schedule showings. The Madison County Realty website uses iHomefinder for this data stream connection, and it was my pleasure to set it up for them.

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church Website

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church Website

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church was due for a new website, and we started the process shortly before the pandemic forced them to close their doors in early spring of 2020. Suddenly their needs shifted drastically. As the church learned how to livestream Sunday services and also held a lot of meetings by Zoom, the website needed to become an easy portal for people to access those offerings on a weekly basis. Now that they are meeting in person again, we are continuing to keep the livestream options available online for those who aren’t able to make it in person. It has opened a whole new range of ministry options. What a joy to work with this church!

Salon 107 Website

Salon 107 Website

Salon 107 is an exclusive Aveda salon and day spa on the square in Winterset, Iowa. They essentially needed a new website to acquaint visitors with their space, amenities and staff, as well as an easy contact form for booking appointments. The “call now” button on the mobile version makes it easy to reach them when your hair needs help — stat!

Covered Bridges Winery Website

Covered Bridges Winery Website

It’s a pleasure to create and maintain a website for a product I love: wine. The wine industry is growing in Iowa, and Covered Bridges Winery has gained recognition with some highly prestigious awards.

The primary aim of this site is to tell the winery’s story, the journey from how it began to the many locations where it is available for purchase now. It also showcases the winery’s tasting room, which has regular open hours, and a lively ongoing schedule of events featuring live music, food and wine.

Finally, it integrates with VinoShipper to provide online sales, making it easy for customers to purchase from home for delivery.
