Bernadot Studios was hired to redesign the Mister Twister website by the guys from DigiSage.  The intention of the new design is was to position the site as an e-commerce store. While you could always purchase products online, it was not the primary focus of the site.

Here is what we provided:

• Unique, modern e-commerce  design
• JQuery sliders to showcase products and customer testimonials
• New home page to showcase specials and marketing materials (catalog, newsletter, Facebook, etc)
• Product slider for popular, clearance and new products

This site was a blast to build. It is based on the Taboo Theme from AlohaThemes.com and showcases the work of La Crosse’s very own Darin Reid Wagner.

Darin is a writer of pulp fiction, and wanted a website to capture the mood. The design and music really pull the site together to help Darin showcase his writings (which you can purchase online).

Boy, you’re making this easy….What you got going on here is pure dynamite!

Owner, Scott Neader (friend of mine and one of the sharpest guys I know), contacted me to redesign his web hosting sales page to help boost sales and establish QTH as a friendly and reliable web hosting service. The new design has proven to be very successful and Scott recently sent me an email sharing how much he loves his new site and logo.

Just another thank you for your work with me on the QTH logo and site.  I am so proud of it, which is the opposite of the embarrassment I have had for so long.

I’ve been slowly adding the logo to different things as I have time (like the billing system’s auto-generated PDF invoices, or the custom logo in our SiteBuilder) and every time I see it, I am “proud”

I love it!  Thank you!!!

This was a fun project, and I want to personally thank Michael Schieber, Riverfest President, and John Kockler, Riverfest Secretary, for selecting Bernadot Studios for this project.  We had a lot fun building it and we put this site together in just under a week. Lots of late nights and coffee for me, but I think it was all worth it.

Let’s take a look at some of the features of the site:

• WordPress Platform – built using the state-of-the-art WordPress platform (We’re WP junkies)
• Facebook Photo Gallery – this allows the Riverfest staff to manage all of their photos via Facebook and pull them into the website.
• Contact Form – we route your emails to the appropriate contact using this awesome software
• Facebook Integration – like button and link to our FB page
• RSS feed – stay in touch with your RSS reader
• Slideshow with featured events and links
• Easy menu management
• Banner Ad management for the sponsors
• Event Calendar with Fancy Box technology to display larger versions of images as well as navigation

Testimonial from Riverfest President, Mike Schieber:

Scott, I need to thank you for everything that you did for our Riverfest website.  You went above and beyond our expectations.  There are not a lot of people that would have done what you did.  When our previous web team informed us that they no longer were available to make the changes to our site, and our festival was 6 weeks away, I was totally at a loss for what we would do.  From our initial meeting to the to the completion of the new site, you had us up and running in 7 days.  I am going to recommend you to everyone!    Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Dave Stokes is a great guy and it was a pleasure to work with him.  Not only is Dave kind and friendly, but his staff is as well. The problem with the Stokes Electric website when we were contacted is that is was essentially outdated, and Dave wanted to create a website that reflected the quality and professionalism of his services.  Just the kind of job we love.

Dave hired Bernadot Studios to create a new online image for his business, while also tying into his existing marketing campaigns.  He wanted an animation on the home page of previous work, and the ability to receive email leads from interested visitors. Upon delivering the site to Dave, he mentioned that we had created exactly what he wanted.

Here is a cool WordPress website we designed for the great folks at Unique Edge Customizing. We added a sporty flash animation to the home page to help give a modern and progressive feel to the site.  There are some cool rollover effects too when you move the mouse over the car (engine revving) or the tire (spinout with smoke). This type of animated intro sets the site apart from the competition and also makes the site fun to use – which helps make it memorable.

We built this site for ourselves to join in the sale of premium WordPress themes. Offerings such as these help folks get a website up and running for peanuts. It is our pleasure to also release our themes as GPL, so that you can buy the theme once time and use it an unlimited number of times.

Do you need a website for:

• Marketing Real Estate
• Selling homes
• Blogging

We even offer installation and setup services, if you need assistance (paid services).

More themes areunder way, so make sure to grab our site’s RSS feed and follow along.

Hold on – one more thing. I am offering a Grand Opening Special. You can now purchase any theme at 50% off using this code at checkout:  ALOHA50 (this offer will end soon, so act now).

That’s all for now – Aloha!

My brother recently purchased Howie’s Bar / Howie’s Live in La Crosse, WI, and he needed a new website for his new venture.  Howie’s is a bar and live entertainment venue that serves people from 21 to 101.  It has been a fixture in La Crosse for many decades, and my brother’s goal is to modernize the facility to become a hub for live music and entertainment.

Here were his needs for his website:

• Be able to manage the site himself
• Event calendar / Upcoming shows
• Email address database
• Post daily specials
• Promote their banquet facility
• Get into the search engines
• Post photos of all the good times had at Howies

The solution:

• We implemented WordPress as a CMS to manage his website and help him rank well in the search engines
• We utilized Google Calendar and a WordPress plugin to make managing his events and specials a very simple process (including recurring events, like daily specials)
• We use FeedBurner to gather email addresses
• NextGen Gallery plugin to manage the image gallery

All in all the site turned out very well, and they get a lot of positive feedback from their patrons.  I would expect some updates to the site very soon as the needs of the business are growing to meet the demand of their customers.
