We love working in WordPress for our clients with smaller sized websites
Percussion CM1 is great for our large and enterprise clients
Or, for clients who don’t have or want to use a content management system, we can hand-code too
A few things we’re great at
NEW WEBSITE CREATION
We can get you online fast, so that your customer can find you and start learning more about your business.
EXISTING WEBSITE RE-DESIGN
Have a website already but want to change it up or make it easier to update? We can do that!
IMPLEMENTATION
We can take a design or mockup that you already have and turn it into a fully functioning website.
RESPONSIVE & MOBILE-FRIENDLY
Everything we do at AI is mobile-friendly. We always run your website against Google’s Mobile-Friendly tester to make sure that you are being ranked higher on Google for having a responsive website.
BRANDING
Ready for a website but don’t have a logo or color scheme yet? Let us handle that! We will leave you with everything you need for things like invoices, business cards, car decals, t-shirts – whatever you may need!
LEARNING
Let us show you how to use your new website and how to make simple updates on your own to things like your menu, today’s specials, etc.

How We Work
PLANNING
We will send you a series of questions to help us gather requirements for your project. Questions like who is your target market/user, who are your top competitors and what makes your business stand out from the rest, what is your time-frame and budget for this project, etc. will help us to determine what your goals are and where you want to be. We will also ask you what it is that you don’t like on your existing design to ensure that pieces that you don’t love don’t get carried over into your new web design.
RESEARCH & IDEAS
After we comb through your existing site’s design and layouts, we will also go through your competitors’ websites and check out what makes their websites look great (or not so great), then carry over some of those thoughts and ideas to your new design.
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
This phase is one that we collaborate on a lot with our customers. We combine our knowledge of your market and competitors with the main points of interest that you want to convey on your website. At this stage we may also create a sitemap to show you what we have developed for the hierarchy of your website structure.
MOCKUPS
Now this is where the real fun begins! Your designer will start pulling all of the ideas together that were discussed in previous phases. Once the first mockup is completed, your designer will present it to you and depending on the feedback that you have, they may suggest another interactive design session. Up to three rounds of revisions per design mockup are included.
IMPLEMENTATION
Once all designs are approved, the development process starts. We will start with developing whichever mockup that we know will be used most frequently on your site. It some cases, we may start with the homepage development for websites that are small in size or ones that really rely on the homepage to get across a lot of information to your site visitors.
LAUNCH
Once quality assurance and testing is completed, we will work with you to make any DNS switches required and help you get your beautiful site live for the world to see!
Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
Casey at Applewood Interactive developed a new version of my website from scratch. She listened to my initial ideas and then created and presented several possible logos, site layouts, page layouts, and color schemes to choose from. She had a much better sense than I did of what would work well in this format, and she was very patient and creative in incorporating my suggestions into the designs. Then she took the large amount of raw content I provided–text, photos, files, and links–and made it all fit elegantly and work perfectly within that format. And Casey did this whole process, start to finish with many iterations, in only about two weeks. I could not imagine a more talented or more helpful website designer.
RIDER Institute
Dr. Todd H. Rider – Littleton, MA
Casey is a great person to work with. Her coding background was extremely beneficial to me throughout the past few years. We worked on a website migration, website enhancements and many customized features for our website. She is extremely thorough in the questions she asks during any given project and is in constant communication throughout. She is also a very nice and friendly person, which makes working together even more enjoyable!
Duff & Phelps
Nicole Kelly – New York City, NY
Casey’s talent and ability to craft spot-on templates for our Content Management System’s website redesign utilizing our existing fields was stellar. Our seamless integration to upgrade for accessibility and mobile responsiveness was handled with ease and was exactly what we wanted. Her attention to detail was only surpassed by her ease to work with. Many times she presented solutions to potential issues we hadn’t thought of.

Any doubts, she offered her expertise, which allowed me to make the right choice or decision. She’s very easy to work with and willing to stay in contact for future upgrades to your website. Thank you Casey!
