Warm Rain Bathtubs
Background: Warm Rain is a bathtub and shower manufacturer with a national sales office located in St. Paul, Minnesota and factory in Calumet, Michigan.
Challenge: Warm rain approached Mankato Web Design needing to make their website mobile friendly and make their product inventory easy to search, keep updated, and sell to the customer. They have various product data sheets, technical specifications, and more. Their website also includes various territories for different sales staff and educational videos that needed to be well presented and easy to update.
Result: We threw out the book and started from scratch – a blank canvas in fact. We identified their key competitors and started building a wireframe and navigational hierarchy that would be easy to navigate. By working directly with the company owner who knew best their product and incorporating our skills with end user interface experiences, we were able to build a website in WordPress using a custom theme. The website is both responsive for cell phones, tables and computers as well as easy to update with custom field elements in the backend to make updating seamless for the owner.

Swor & Gatto
Background: Swor & Gatto was established in 1981 as a St. Paul personal injury law firm. Marcus and Paul Gatto represent personal injury victims throughout Minnesota. They represent persons involved in car accidents, defective products, negligent medical care and workplace accidents.
Challenge: Swor & Gatto had transitioned away from AT&T and Findlaw after having being unsatisfied with the services they were provided and felt pressured to spend money on products they did not necessarily need.
Result: Since transitioning from the two larger companies, the firm has been able to advertise in other areas including billboards and are working now towards television advertising in the near future. Mankato Web Design handled everything from directory cleanups to website redesign and establishing ownership of their website under 24/7 dedicated hosting support. The firm has established and maintained 1st page rankings on Google since their inception with Mankato Web Design. The website we built them is both responsive and WordPress based making updates a breeze. We’ve also worked with the firm to have videos developed and integrated into their marketing outreach program. They were able to spend 50% less and from that savings have been able to grow their business and expand their reach. They’ve hand consistent quarterly review meetings with Mankato Web Design which has been extremely effective in growing their firm and in late 2019 they’ve now opened a large brick and mortar stand alone building on W 7th street in St. Paul.

Old Home Foods
Background: Old Home Foods is a well known Minnesota grocery store provider of all natural peanut butter, cottage cheese, dip, salsa, sour cream, and yogurt.
Challenge: Old Home Foods needed a new website that properly reflected their brand in the 21st century. Without the ability to easily make updates, the company was relying on contract web design support everytime they needed an update done, coupon added, or new product line added. There also wasn’t an ability to easily find where their products were available in stores or even see coupons consumers could use to try their products.
Result: The new custom responsive design website was built with a WordPress backend which allows the company to easily make independent updates as new products are released or new promotions need to be pushed. Some features of the website include a coupon and recipe signup newsletter, a filterable recipe section, organized their product line to be better presented, and integrated a tool to find their products in grocery stores.
