The problem
A weak website costs you credibility and leads
A website that looks outdated or loads poorly on a phone can quietly work against a business. Stanford research cited in a local digital marketing analysis found that 75% of consumers judge a company's credibility by its website design, and Google data shows 61% of mobile users are more likely to contact a local business when its site is mobile-friendly.
A weak web presence is a credibility gap that shows up before anyone picks up the phone.
The Solution
A local site built and launched in under 30 days
French Island sits just across the channel from La Crosse, and most businesses here serve customers throughout the greater La Crosse area — so being found online matters well beyond the island itself.
We know French Island. Bernadot Studios' very first client — still a client 26 years later — is Colgan Air Services, located next to the La Crosse Regional Airport.
We've built three generations of their website over the years, and they remain a community treasure. We also designed the logo for Well Pros, a well drilling and repair business.
