A1 Carpet Cleaning & Restoration
After expressing concerns about the cybersecurity of their previous website, A1 Carpet Cleaning & Restoration in Winfield, KS decided it was time for a website redesign and cybersecurity upgrade. By hosting with Custom Internet Services, A1 was able to take advantage of private hosting, server and endpoint firewalls, a free SSL certificate, and regular system updates. In the unlikely event that the site were to be crashed by an update, defaced by a hacker, or infected by malware, A1 is still protected by daily backups and disaster recovery capabilities.
In addition to the information about each of their services, reviews from happy clients were added to the site. It was also important to A1 that their branding was uniform across various platforms, so care was taken to incorporate images also being used in their new billboard.
Mumford's Kitchen, Bath & Flooring
After opening their showroom in downtown, Winfield, KS, Mumford's Kitchen, Bath & Flooring needed a way to make contact with new, potential clients, as well as allow existing clients to make payments online.
Potential clients can see projects installed by Mumford's in their gallery and preview the product lines they carry before coming in to the store to view them in person. A built-in contact form protects the company's email from bots, but makes it easy to contact the owners with any construction or installation questions a homeowner may have.

After the purchase of remodeling supplies or installation of a project, clients can make an online payment by navigating to the website. This removes the barrier of clients having to drive over to the store or find and stamp and envelope to make a payment.
Winfield Recreation Commission
Even though their original website was built on a responsive framework, the Winfield Recreation Commission in Winfield, KS wanted to find a way to make their website easier to use with smart phones, while also updating the look and feel of the site. A custom, mobile header and hamburger menu make navigation through the site easy while using touch screens. The responsive design automatically resizes images and text to any given device's width. All images on the site were compressed to their smallest size to improve load time and decrease data usage. The lack of a border along the edges of the site means that as the screen size shrinks, more of the screen can be dedicated to content, rather than design elements.
Another goal of the website redesign was to work on search engine optimization (SEO) for the site. Some changes made to help search engines included adding header tags to text blocks, alt tags to images, and submitting a sitemap to both Google & Bing. Previously, only the most recent newsletters and program guides were kept on the site. By leaving up a year's worth these documents, search engines, as well as local athletes and fitness enthusiasts, can get a better picture of what the WRC looks like over the entire year, rather than just a month-long snapshot. The changes made to make the site more mobile friendly, such as compressing and resizing images and caching the website to increase the speed can also improve search engine ranking.

Mystic Wonders
With her previous website manager retiring, Fern Gunderson, owner of Mystic Wonders, Inc. in Holstein, IA decided to take the plunge and switch her website to WordPress & WooCommerce.

Orders and inventory of this e-commerce store can now be tracked via the WooCommerce dashboard. Returning customers can still access their old accounts and new customers have the ability to create new accounts on the site. When checking out, customers have the option of two different payment methods.
Educating the customer HAS ALWAYS BEEN important to Fern. The site contains lots of information for customers to educate themselves in the form of PDFs, FAQs, videos.
Walnut Valley Festival
When deciding to update their website, the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS decided they could better serve their fans by separating their content into a site for the current festival--www.wvfest.com, and a second site for past festivals--www.pickersparadise.org. Custom Internet Services had the privilege of working on the site wvfest.com.
To make it easier for participants to register for events, online registration forms were added for Contests, Land Rush, and Workshops. Tickets for the festival can also be purchased online.
It was also important to the Festival that people get a feel for the event while visiting the site. For that reason, the homepage features large photos of entertainers, stages, contest participants, campgrounds, and arts & crafts booths. Further down you will find the identifiable "I Can't" bumper sticker, as well as a countdown to the start of the festival.
