Upon deciding to move from Plaza Frontenac to a bigger location in the booming Chesterfield Valley, the St. Louis Sippery & Café also decided it was time for a brand new website overhaul.

Wanting to keep with the themes and feel of the brand new restaurant, the St Louis Sippery website design had to be warm, inviting, and timeless.

The primary goal of the website was to introduce new and existing customers to the new location. A prominent call-to-action, asking customers to visit the new restaurant, is immediately visible.

There are a number of menus to feature, so we organized a multi-column webpage display that resembles a printed menu.

A recent news feed for press releases and menu updates is also readily available, and easy to update.

We love Maplewood, Missouri, and have been deeply involved in the Maplewood Chamber of Commerce for over a year. When we joined, their website was a several-year-old hard-coded webpage in serious need of a dynamic overhaul, so we jumped at the chance to do some amazing work for a business we really believe in.

The Chamber Director really needed to be able to make updates easily, so we built the whole website as a custom-built WordPress theme, giving her the ability to update everything in a snap. We wanted to emphasize the community of the Chamber, so we made the website design very unique and natural.

The website features the ability for the Chamber Director to add featured members, custom events, photo galleries, new members, as well as member exchange information. All of the contact forms are custom-built to provide all the information she needs to answer questions, renew memberships, and promote members online.

QR, or “Quick Response,” codes are suddenly appearing everywhere. The little black and white matrix barcodes encourage savvy smartphone users to scan and find out more about what hides behind that checkered box.

Modern marketing strategists are understanding more and more about how they can help draw in tech-savvy crowds using QR codes. With the ability to provide a lot of information in just a small space, these codes encourage users to go beyond the advertisement and find information on their own.

A QR code can contain a wide variety of data, including but not limited to a link to a website, a brief amount of text, or even a full contact card to add to a user’s phone. Utilizing these codes can help you to provide easy-to-access information to interested parties with a click of a button. Businesses of all kinds are finding ways to incorporate these barcodes into their marketing, from realtors providing links to a listings website, to freelancers providing contact information to encourage easy future contact.

Be creative with QR codes. With services like bit.ly and invx.com that make it incredibly easy to generate your own codes, there’s no reason not to play with this trendy technology in your future marketing campaigns.
