Home Renovation in Lexington, SC

The Improvement Company

We helped steer a domain into a more savvy direction. Content was a bit stale and disconnected from the concerns of the consumer. 

Admittedly, stale content can happen to any website over time. This particular site had a team that wrote content that never hit the mark on day one. This site still has some things we're targeting for improvement, like photography. As time goes on, we're helping them build a library of better finished project photos they'll be able to use for a long time into the future for social media & advertising.

Craft Beer in Mebane, NC

Bright Penny Brewing

A domain that started as a redirect to Facebook sometime in 2018 is now connecting the Mebane, NC locals and visitors to wonderful craft beer and cuisine ever since 2021.

Always great stuff from these guys now available at two locations in Mebane, NC. Independently Owned and Operated true Craft Beer, Craft Pizzas & Deviled Eggs. Did I mention their Deviled Eggs? Yeah, these things are no joke. Check them out!
