THE FRONT DOOR:
The first page is the front door
to your home on the web.
”
The most talked-about page on my website is the dramatic before and after showcase!
SAMPLE 1:
Fitch's Corner
When you have a product, service, or - in this
case - location that is truly unique, you need a website that is
designed to accent those special characteristics and organized to get
the website visitor excited as well.
SAMPLE 2:
Equine Veterinary Service
When your primary goal is provide information about your services and
education to your clients, you need a layout that is easy to navigate
and up-to-date.
SAMPLE 3: MCCA - Maine Clinical Counselors Association
When was the last time your website was updated? An out-of-date website
will turn away more visitors than it will bring in. Design styles
change, information changes, technology changes ... if your website
doesn't keep up with the changes, visitors may think your organization
or business doesn't keep up with them either.
SAMPLE 4: Finest Kind Caterers
Easy navigation and appealing design are the first two elements a website visitor will notice when they arrive at your website.
Without them, visitors could be left stranded, not knowing where to go
next or be greeted by a mass of words, pictures, information that is
unrelated and distracting.
Fitch's Corner is known as one of the "best events to attend" in Area 1 of the USEA because they pay attention to every detail of the event. The organizers provide a unique experience for competitors and spectators at the horse trials. Their original website provided all the necessary information, but they didn't feel the website visitor got the feel of the beautiful grounds, the unique event, and the overall experience of Fitch's Corner Horse Trials and Events.
We started with the beautiful photographs made available to us by Brian Wilcox of Connecticut Photo. The most difficult part was to choose just a few from the many gorgeous options we had. By highlighting what the organizers felt were the most important aspects of Fitch's Corner, we created a beautiful and welcoming home page, featuring the fantastic photographs provided by Brian Wilcox of Connecticut Photo. This home page draws website visitors into the rest of the site, which broadens the navigation structure both horizontal throughout the site and vertical within each of the four primary categories.

Equine Veterinary Service wanted a complete overhaul to match the beautiful new design of their business cards and logo and to provide a better experience for their clients. The most important aspect for Dr. Judd and Equine Veterinary Service was to actively and easily promote client education on their website.Their original site was out of date, difficult to navigate, and the colors didn't portray their new image.
Working with LVT Vicki Coffin, we updated all pages and organized them into categories so clients can easily find important information about the practice, the the veterinarians, vaccination schedules, how to handle an emergency, and even follow along with Dr. Judd on an acupuncture or dental session.

The Maine Clinical Counselors Association needed a complete overhaul so visitors could actually access and navigate their website, which publicizes their clinics, workshops, and most importantly a directory of counselors.
Working with the MCCA President by email and phone, we incorporated the warm, soothing Southwest feel into the design, a simple left navigation system, and plenty of space for their content. Now, visitors can make there way around the website no matter what page they are on! Even more importantly, within 4 months of their new design, they are on the FIRST PAGE of a Google Search for "Maine counselors"!

After seeing the new look of Toddy Brook Golf Course and Anderson Landscaping, Finest Kind Caterers owner Virginia Anderson called Flying Change Webs & Graphics to redesign her website, too.
The original website didn't show the unique nature of Finest Kind's Lobster Bakes and Catering Services. The navigation wasn't shown on the first screen, leaving visitors feeling stranded. The subsequent web pages were text pages which forced the visitor back to the home page to go anywhere else on the website. With their new website design, there is no question that "A New England Adventure Awaits You" with Finest Kind Caterers.
