Girdwood.com Website

The OTC team thinks their home town of Girdwood, Alaska is a pretty special place. Sadly, until a few years ago, there wasn’t a single online presence that showcased our beloved town and provided useful information to residents and potential visitors.

Having identified the need for a website for all things Girdwood, we got together with a few like-minded individuals to design one. The vision was for a go-to resource that would serve locals and visitors alike.

Today, not only is girdwood.com number one in Google with a growing total of over 4000 visitors monthly, it is also recognized as the number one resource for our town. Problem solved!

Greer Tank Website

Greer Tank has been fabricating tanks for commercial, residential and industrial needs since the early 1950s.

Greer Tank wanted a website that gave customers detailed product and service information while also giving a deeper insight into their business and philosophies. Of particular importance was showcasing the history and growth of their company and making sure visitors can see they are still growing and getting stronger.

The team at OTC planned an easy to navigate and well-organized structure, then built a beautifully designed website that included customer resources such as tank volume calculators, a download library, and a simple request-a-quote form.

Kristen Marchus-Hemstad Website

Kristen had seen a website we made for fellow medium, Denise Gallup, in late 2017, and decided OTC might be a good fit for her.

Her first priority was moving her existing site off her old, outdated hosting account, so the team organized and facilitated a move to WP Engine.

Once that was done, we set to work planning, designing and making a fresh new website with lots of white space while using Kristen’s favorite blue tones as highlight colors. She was looking for a site with a “calm feel.” We integrated an online booking service and a small online store.

Kristen continues to develop her website with OTC and has plans in the near future to add online classes.

Alaska Birch Syrup Photo Shoot & Website

In the small, quirky town of Talkeetna, resides an all Alaskan gift shop known for their birch syrup, functional aesthetic art, and tasty treats, such as locally made ice cream! Dulce and Michael East have been harvesting birch syrup in Alaska since 1990, and they now sell it online and in gift shops around Alaska.

Dulce and Michael contacted OTC in 2017, ready to take their self-built, small Yahoo e-commerce store to the next level. We worked with their team to rebuild and reorganize their store. It now offers their customers a clean, simple, and secure online shopping experience while keeping the Easts’ personal and unique feel.

The website makeover included new photos of all the products and of the Taste & Tour giftshop. Our photography department, Bacon & Cheese Productions, organized, staged, and photographed all 57 of their products.

Z Denise Gallup Website

Denise is a local Girdwood artist and medium who reached out to OTC for some website assistance. Denise built her first website/blog herself but thought it needed a facelift to keep up with the times.

The process of building a new website seemed a bit more daunting than before because she had less time on her hands. She also wanted a couple of fancy add-ons that kept stumping her, so she asked OTC to:

Build a mobile-responsive website.
Set up an email newsletter sign-up form.
Customize the appearance of her scheduling system (Acuity Scheduling) and seamlessly link it to the website.
Provide her with how-to videos instructing her how to edit her site in the future.
Design a blog page that shows off her art work.
Design an informational page about classes she teaches and include a sign-up form.

OTC worked with Denise to organize her website information and provide a CMS (Content Management Software) that is more user friendly to her so that she can edit her own website in the future.

Babkin Charters Website

Brad & Alex from Babkin Charters used to get mixed feedback on their old website – older clientele loved it, younger clientele thought it needed modernizing.

They came to us with a brief to create a new modern website that didn’t lose the feel of the old one.

The OTC team rose to the challenge and designed a new mobile-friendly website. We retained the photographic backgrounds and color palette from their old website, but completely revised the structure, navigation, fonts and page layouts.

They’re happy with the end result and judging by the feedback they receive, so are their clients!
