Just did a super quick project for Frontier Films. They wanted a SUPER simple landing page done in a day.
Solution. Make a page title, write a brief description and use Instagram to create cool looking pics for the rest of the page.
$600 and done.
Might be simple but it does the trick. Thanks Aaron was fun working with ya.
Just helped out local Contractor Craig Schubert get all setup for results in Google. Designer Matt Bailey did the art and design work, and we swooped in made the site Google-licious. Fun job and very straight forward.
Check out the site at

Did the basics,
1. Researched for the correct words to use & target for Google search results.
2. Setup Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and Google Business Map listings.
3. Provided some links to Craig’s site from a couple of important local sites. Hint: Google finds you by finding your link on popular sites. The more relevant links you have from local and industry websites, the higher Google will rank you. Links act like references.
4. Provided Craig with a plan to get some online reviews to bolster his reputation.
5. Made sure the page Title, Sub Title, Main Header and body text, included artfully scattered Google Search words.
6. Set reminders to check up on things 2 weeks
7. Then it was time for bed
We’ve just made this website live for new business, Northern Catch! The owners came to us with a brief for a high-end website to launch their business and market their online Alaska seafood subscriptions. We designed and built them an engaging and functional website that they are proud to unveil as part of their business launch. Check their new website out here.
Just when we’ve all got our heads around the Google Mobile-Friendly standards (see post 25th June, 2015), up pops another Google requirement that needs to be addressed – page loading speeds. To be honest page loading speeds have always been important and we’ve always striven to make them the best we can. But this time around, Google have been more than helpful and they’ve developed the PageSpeeds Insight tool. Not only does this tool quickly analyze your URL to see if it meets the standards, it tells you exactly what isn’t passing and what needs to be done to make it right. Simple!
You can visit the Google PageSpeed Insights Tool Page, input your Website Address and Google will give you a score out of 100 for both mobile and desktop. They consider anything over 85 to be acceptable, anything under that will need some work to get it up to standard.
It depends on your website and what Google has picked up as being problematic with it. The best thing to do is to consult an expert to get a full analysis and find out the scale of the work involved.
We’ve fixed these for a more than a few clients now, and have a good working knowledge of what is involved. Often a few small fixes can make a huge difference, sometimes it’s a little more involved. Give us a call on (907) 382-0456 or email us at otcweb@gmail.com so we can review your results and advise you the best course of action
Back in June 2015, we sent out an update on the latest Google requirements for websites to be mobile-friendly. We had a really positive response from clients and since then we’ve been pretty busy updating sites to make sure they meet the Google guidelines. A few of our clients also decided the time was right for a complete re-design to keep them at the top of their game in competitive marketplaces. We’re pretty pleased with the results and so are they. Have a look below and check out the new concepts we came up with.

It’s lucky we love what we do here at OTC! The summer here in Alaska has been such a good one that we’ve struggled some days to make it to our computer screens. But nothing should stand in the way of great website design and we’ve found ways to keep the work flowing without missing out on too much of 2015’s epic Alaskan summer. With the recent launch of five brand new websites, (as well as 3 complete re-designs… but more about those next week), we think we’ve managed our work/life balance pretty well. Check out the results below;
We made RSA Engineering a brand new clean, professional and up to date website, with a totally re-organized navigation for ease of use. See their full website here.
OK, we have to admit we’re cheating a little here, we launched Tundra Adventure Charters at the very start of the summer, so technically we worked on it in the springtime. But we’re pretty proud of this one and we wanted to share. Check out the full Tundra website here.
We are proud to have been selected by the Ted Stevens Foundation to design and make their new website. The new website has a light, clean, modern design and documents the many contributions and achievements of the late Senator Stevens, as well as being informative about the foundation and what their objectives are. See their full website here.
Nenana is a sister company to the Chugach Outdoor Center website we launched back in December last year. The brief was to make the two websites similar visually and functionally, whilst keeping each company identity separate in terms of colors and branding. See the full website here.
We designed Cabins at Denali a brand new, simple, clean and functional website, that showed off their accommodation options to their best and included a new easy to use reservations system. View the full Cabins at Denali website here.
