Holly Kutalek is a joy to work with. She is the owner of Rafter K Ranch, a fantastic barrel horse operation in Montgomery Texas. She and I worked closely to create a web presence that was exactly the way she wanted.
She has a few new ideas on the drawing board, so I’ll be posting her new landing pages and ecommerce projects here before long.
UPDATE 10.24.08 – The Rafter K Ranch web site design is now featured on iStockPhoto.com’s Designer Spotlight.
I was honored to be chosen to design the new website for the Greater Houston Quarter Horse Association.
GHQHA needed a very versatile website that allowed them to add photos, articles, entry forms, and a calendar of events. It is powered by a very easy to use content management system that allowed them to add any content they wished. It was so easy in fact, that they were adding content before I ever had a chance to explain how it worked! They jumped right in and have done a great job with this website.
Richard and Donna King own an outstanding race horse stallion named Yawls Rabbit. To promote the stallion services of “Rabbit”, I was commissioned to create a website, print advertisements, logo, business cards and brochures.
The website project grew to include the King’s other stallions and mares as well, and they chose the domain KingRacingHorses.com to encompass all of their equestrian services.
Burkhalter Trailers Sales, one of the oldest and largest horse trailer dealers in Texas. Since 1979 Burkhalter has been a dealer for high quality horse, livestock, utility and cargo trailers throughout the US.
Burkhalter’s website is an SEO success, boasting several “page one” Google rankings, and serving nearly 800,000 hits per month. Combining simple navigation and design with clear pricing transparency was the winning formula. The horse trailer industry was using very dated marketing tactics and were slow to adapt the Internet techniques that were sweeping the business world. While many horse trailer dealers were still trying to lure customers into their store before giving a price quote, we created one of the very first websites that allowed shoppers to view pricing online., giving customers all of the information that they would need to make a purchase decision. While this may seem like common sense now, in 2005 it was still a foreign concept in this industry, but after Burkhalter’s sales skyrocketed other companies followed their lead.
For several years Apache Advertising and Design produced print and Internet marketing materials, provided search engine optimization services, website analytics review, media buying, advertising tracking, e-mail marketing, photography, radio advertising and other marketing services as needed.
We have over 15 years of horse trailer marketing experience. We’ve worked with many brands and dealers over the years and we’d love to work for you! If you are in this industry and would like to learn more about how we increase sales and brand image for our clients, please give us a call @ 832.510.9714 .
Sharon, Susan, Mike, Jaci and the rest of the crew over at Xtreme Barrel Racing Plus have been a pleasure to work with.
We built this website to promote their barrel racing events, collect entries, and communicate with their audience.
Although this site was created early in 2006, it was revised in January of 2010. We kept the fun, vibrant colors and layout that the client had originally requested but we tweaked the back-end so that it now runs on a “content management system” (CMS). Our CMS allows the client to make updates to their site without any XHTML knowledge what-so-ever. I also updated the XHTML and CSS code so that it is W3C valid, to ensure proper functioning across all browsers, portable devices, and search engines.
XtremeBarrelRacingPlus.com also enjoys an outstanding search engine rank that was achieved with very little effort. No unethical manipulative techniques, just good old fashioned on-site search engine optimization and a little bit of link building. If your site is struggling to achieve a decent search engine rank, give us a call at 832.971.4905 and we’ll be happy to discuss a strategy that will work for you.
A stallion as impressive as JMK Streakin demands top quality design work. Apache Advertising was given the opportunity to create a new web site, business cards, brochures, and print ads to promote Streakin. We enjoyed working with Dr. Rigby on each of these projects and we look forward to promoting JMK Streakin in the future as well.
Be sure to visit the new JMKStreakin.com web site to view our work.
