Our band, Takeaway me is playing on the Purdue campus tonight and will be playing for a GMA showcase at Rocketown in Nashville, TN. We are excited about the opportunity to play at such a high profile event and hope to have a great time in Southern Indiana and Tennessee. MM&D created the Takeaway me website design and development a year ago, as well as all print design for the band. We enjoy working on creative web design projects and innovative web development projects and having the musical background, it makes it all the more fun. MM&D would enjoy any creative project for bands or simply creative/artistic businesses that are looking for a good Indiana web design and Indiana web development company to work with.

Yesterday Steve Schmidt, Effect Web Media, and I spoke for the M.E.R.G.E. group at the Elkhart Chamber of Commerce on Effect Websites. We spoke with other Indiana business owners about keys to having a website that is effective and productive. A short training on Search Engine Optimization, creative web design, effective web development, understanding demographics and target audience, effective text content, competition research, usability/interface design and tracking, evaluating and improving website performance. Whew, that was a mouth-full and so was cramming that much information into a half hour presentation. It went well, there was a fairly good response from the Indiana businesses represented. All-in-all it was a good time of educating local businesses on the importance of having an effective website and the value of working with an Indiana Web Design company.

We are wrapping up a web design and web development project for Quality Window and Door, Inc. out of Elkhart, Indiana. We are very excited about this website project and anticipate great results for QWD through the web. They are the leading Marvin Windows and Doors dealer in the state of Indiana. They service the surrounding Michiana areas like; Goshen, In; Elkhart, IN; Warsaw, IN; South Bend, IN; Mishawaka, IN; Michigan City, IN; St. Joseph, MI; Niles, MI; and many more areas. It has been a great joy to work with the folks at QWD on the new revision and we look forward to seeing their website do great things for their company.

If you are looking for a company that will offer you custom web design and custom web development in Indiana, then you may want to know a few things. Some companies will offer you a template, which may work if you are on a tight budget, but if you are looking for something more tailored to your company and needs, you may want to find a custom web designer and web developer. Ask simple questions when interviewing a company. Like, what methods of development they use. Or how many other companies they have worked with. Check into their versatility by reviewing their portfolio. How many projects have they completed, what type of web design do they do, how do their websites work? You can learn a lot about a company by viewing their portfolio. Also look at their vision page. Are they interested in learning about their clients, or do they just want to push web projects out as fast as possible? There are so many options for Indiana web design and web development that it is sometimes hard to know where to begin. Try to find a company where you feel comfortable and then get things rolling.

Many of our clients are now taking advantage of a web design and web development service we have recently added. Search Engine Optimization is basically being pro-active with your site. Most Indiana Web Design companies will build a site in a way that is viewable by search engines, but wont really assist their clients in effectively growing their site to reach a state of authority with search engines. What we do, is not only build the site correctly mapped out for Search Engines, but we also assist in training or managing the site long term. Learning to get attention from search engines is simple with our trained experts. We can help you get to the top of your specific category and stay there. There are no tricks (as in the days and methods of old - 2 years ago), there is strategy and understanding that can be learned and applied to give your website effective results. Contact us for further information.

We do not just build sites, we consult with our clients to help them create a website they are proud of and that represents their business or personal venture accurately.

Well, last week a friend called me and needed someone to speak at a youth retreat they were hosting in Ensenada, Mexico. It was a hard decision for us to make. With the business growing so much and two Indiana web design projects wrapping up, it didn’t seem like the wisest time to leave the country for five days, but it seemed to work out great. Now I am rushing like mad to complete the two projects and get them posted. One thing that is amazing about web design is that I am not restricted to staying in Indiana at all times. It gives me the freedom to continue working while being completely mobile. Flexibility and creativity is an amazing mixture for a business. It allows me to keep fresh and provide my clients with the most effective ideas and solutions for their web design and web development projects.
