  • Jesup Movies | Two Unique Theaters, One Website That Brings Them Together

    Jesup Movies | Two Unique Theaters, One Website That Brings Them Together

    A Modern Cinema and Georgia’s Oldest Drive-In — Under One Digital Roof.

    The Historic Strand Dinner Cinema in downtown Jesup offers premium recliner seating, a full food and beverage menu ordered from your seat via mobile app, and the kind of modern moviegoing experience that most small Georgia cities don’t have. Three blocks away in spirit — and 76 years away in history — The Jesup Drive-In has been running since 1948. Restored in 2011, it holds the distinction of being Georgia’s oldest operating drive-in theater.

    Two completely different experiences. Two different ticketing systems. Two different menus. One brand. One website.

    Getting those to coexist cleanly — without either venue losing what makes it special — was the challenge FDM built toward.

    Industry: Entertainment / Cinema
    Services: Website Design, Ticketing Integration, Online Food Ordering, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 6 Years


    The Challenge

    Multi-venue entertainment businesses face a specific digital challenge: how do you give each venue its own identity without building two completely separate sites — and without making visitors feel like they’ve landed on the wrong page?

    For Jesup Movies, the stakes were higher than usual. The Strand is a cashless, modern dining experience with Fandango and Veezi ticketing. The Drive-In is a nostalgic, family-friendly outdoor venue with ChowNow food ordering and a completely different vibe. A single website needed to represent both — and make it easy for visitors to find their way to the experience they were looking for.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Building separate, distinct experiences for each venue while keeping them under one cohesive brand
    • Integrating ticketing systems (Fandango/Veezi) and online food ordering (ChowNow) into a seamless customer experience
    • Positioning both venues as must-visit community entertainment destinations in Jesup

    The Solution

    FDM built a dual-venue website for Jesup Movies where each theater has its own identity, its own pages, and its own audience — presented together under a single brand that does justice to both.

    • Dedicated pages for each venue with their own showtimes, menus, and ticketing. The Historic Strand and The Jesup Drive-In each get their own experience on the site — because they’re genuinely different experiences, and visitors deserve to land in the right place.
    • Fandango, Veezi, and ChowNow integration that makes the customer journey seamless. Tickets for the Strand. Food ordering for the Drive-In. Each integration is built into the flow of the relevant venue page — not bolted on as an afterthought.
    • Full menu pages for both venues. The Strand’s full food and beverage menu. The Drive-In’s concessions and ordering options. Accessible, appetizing, and easy to navigate before visitors even arrive.
    • School group and private event pages. Two unique venues mean two unique event opportunities. FDM built dedicated pages for group bookings and private events at both theaters — opening revenue channels beyond regular ticket sales.

    The Historic Strand Dinner Cinema is a premium dining and movie experience in a beautiful historic building — the kind of night out that doesn’t usually exist in a city Jesup’s size. The Jesup Drive-In is living history: Georgia’s oldest operating drive-in, restored and running since 2011, serving up nostalgia alongside the latest releases.

    FDM built a website worthy of both. Because Jesup has something genuinely special — two completely different ways to go to the movies — and the website makes sure anyone searching online can find both of them.

    The Results

    Jesup Movies now has a digital home that does justice to both venues. Customers can buy tickets, order food, and plan their visit — all from a website that’s as polished as the Strand’s interior and as charming as the Drive-In’s history.

    Two theaters. One website. Zero compromise.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Dual-venue website cleanly presenting both cinema experiences under one cohesive brand
    • Integrated ticketing and food ordering systems creating a seamless end-to-end customer journey
    • Professional presentation positioning Jesup Movies as a destination entertainment experience
    • School group and private event pages opening new revenue channels for both venues

  • McLeod Gardens | Thirty Years of Rare Blooms, Now Available Online

    McLeod Gardens | Thirty Years of Rare Blooms, Now Available Online

    A Family’s Passion for Daylilies — Brought to Collectors Everywhere.

    For over thirty years, Randy McLeod has been hybridizing daylilies the way some people write poetry — carefully, patiently, and with an eye for something that’s never been seen before. Together with wife Karen, daughters Lindsey and Amelia, and more than three decades of trial and observation, McLeod Gardens has developed a catalog of cultivars that daylily enthusiasts seek out across Georgia, Florida, and beyond.

    Names like ‘Midnight on Halloween,’ ‘Karen Knows Best,’ ‘Drink the Stars,’ and ‘Built like Bigfoot’ don’t come from a spreadsheet. They come from a family that treats hybridizing as a craft.

    FDM built them a digital home worthy of that craft.

    Industry: Specialty Horticulture / Daylily Breeding
    Services: Website Design, E-Commerce Integration, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 3 Years


    The Challenge

    The daylily enthusiast community is passionate, knowledgeable, and nationwide — but you’d never know it from a local word-of-mouth business. McLeod Gardens had been building their reputation the old-fashioned way: at regional shows, through the American Daylily Society, and through the Ogeechee Daylily Society network. Their work was celebrated. Their reach was limited.

    What they needed was an e-commerce platform that could put their catalog in front of collectors anywhere — not just the people who’d met Randy at a show in Central Georgia.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Building an e-commerce-ready catalog that showcases daylily cultivars with professional, appealing presentation
    • Telling the McLeod family story in a way that connects with enthusiast collectors who value heritage and expertise
    • Creating a clean, navigable platform for seasonal ordering and annual new variety introductions

    The Solution

    FDM built an e-commerce website for McLeod Gardens that presents thirty years of hybridizing work the way it deserves to be seen — organized by collection, updated annually with new introductions, and backed by a clear ordering system that makes it easy to buy.

    • A full e-commerce catalog organized the way collectors think. Collections, annual introductions, and for-sale listings each have their own section — with individual variety pages showing photos, descriptions, and pricing. Enthusiasts can browse, wishlist, and buy with confidence.
    • Annual introductions that keep collectors coming back. New cultivars are added each season and highlighted prominently — because the daylily community follows new introductions the way others follow new albums. The site makes it easy to find what’s new.
    • Ordering and shipping information that sets expectations upfront. Seasonal availability, shipping windows, and ordering guidance are all clearly laid out — reducing support questions and improving the customer experience.
    • A family story that connects with enthusiast buyers. The About page introduces Randy, Karen, Lindsey, and Amelia — the team behind the catalog — along with thirty years of show participation and hybridizing history. Collectors buy from people they trust.

    Randy McLeod has been a member of the American Daylily Society and the Ogeechee Daylily Society for decades. He and his family exhibit at shows throughout South and Central Georgia and North and Central Florida — which means their reputation in the enthusiast community is real, earned, and deep.

    FDM gave that reputation a digital home. Now when a collector in Florida or a gardener in North Carolina discovers McLeod Gardens online, they find a professional, beautifully organized catalog backed by the kind of thirty-year story that tells itself.

    The Results

    McLeod Gardens now reaches daylily enthusiasts and collectors online — with a professional e-commerce platform that showcases the full depth of their thirty years of breeding work to anyone who finds them.

    Thirty years of rare blooms. Now available anywhere.

    Key outcomes include:

    • E-commerce catalog enabling online sales to daylily collectors across the region and beyond
    • Annual introductions page driving repeat visits and building anticipation among loyal customers
    • Professional web presence elevating a beloved local operation to national visibility
    • Brand storytelling that resonates with the passionate daylily enthusiast community

  • Pathway CNC | Precision Built, Professionally Presented

    Pathway CNC | Precision Built, Professionally Presented

    Industrial Precision Deserves a Website That Measures Up.

    Pathway CNC operates machinery capable of cutting 4-inch steel plate with precision and fabricating intricate shapes in metal, acrylic, and wood. They have a large plasma cutter for heavy industrial work, a small plasma cutter for detail precision, and a CNC laser cutter for large-scale projects. The capabilities are real. The craftsmanship is serious.

    But none of that matters to a potential client who can’t find you online.

    FDM built them a website that matched the precision of the work itself.

    Industry: CNC Machining & Custom Fabrication
    Services: Website Design, Lead Generation, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 2 Years


    The Challenge

    The B2B fabrication market is competitive, and it’s driven by credibility. When a business owner or engineer is searching for a CNC shop, they’re not just looking for capability — they’re looking for confidence. They want to know the equipment is right for the job. They want to know the company is serious.

    Pathway CNC had the equipment and the expertise. What they needed was a digital presence that communicated both, clearly and professionally, to the kind of clients who were already searching for exactly what Pathway CNC could deliver.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Building a professional B2B web presence that communicates Pathway CNC’s capabilities clearly and credibly
    • Showcasing the full range of CNC equipment to help potential clients understand what’s possible
    • Capturing leads through a custom inquiry form for sign and fabrication projects

    The Solution

    FDM built a clean, modern website for Pathway CNC that speaks directly to their B2B audience. Equipment is front and center with detailed capability descriptions, a custom sign call to action drives direct inquiries, and the professional design signals that Pathway CNC is a serious manufacturing partner.

    • Equipment showcase pages for every machine in the shop. Large plasma cutter — up to 4-inch plate. Small plasma cutter for precision detail work. CNC laser cutter for metal, acrylic, and wood at scale. Each machine gets its own section with specs and capability descriptions.
    • ‘Customize Your Sign’ — a direct path to custom project inquiries. For sign buyers looking for a fabrication partner, this CTA gives them an immediate action without requiring them to navigate deeper into the site.
    • Contact and quote form for B2B lead capture. Whether it’s a fabrication project or a custom sign order, the inquiry form captures lead details cleanly and routes them to the Pathway CNC team.
    • A clean, modern design that reflects the precision of the work. The site looks like what Pathway CNC makes — sharp, precise, and professional. That design alignment builds trust before a single conversation happens.

    Pathway CNC invested in serious industrial equipment — the kind that opens doors to clients in manufacturing, signage, construction, and beyond. A large plasma cutter capable of cutting 4-inch steel plate doesn’t just serve local sign shops; it positions Pathway CNC as a partner for industrial-scale fabrication across the region.

    FDM built a website that communicates that positioning confidently. Because capability without visibility is just capacity sitting idle.

    The Results

    Pathway CNC launched with a professional digital presence that positions them credibly in the competitive B2B fabrication market. Potential clients can explore capabilities, request custom work, and engage with confidence.

    The precision is in the work. The website makes sure the right people know about it.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional B2B website establishing credibility in the competitive CNC fabrication market
    • Equipment showcase communicating full fabrication capacity to potential clients
    • Lead generation system capturing custom sign and fabrication inquiries
    • Clean, modern design that reflects the precision and quality of Pathway CNC’s work

  • Tyler County Family Resource Network | Big Heart, Stronger Digital Reach

    Tyler County Family Resource Network | Big Heart, Stronger Digital Reach

    Rural Community. Real Impact. A Website That Finally Shows It.

    Tyler County, West Virginia is small. Middlebourne, the county seat, is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone — which is exactly the kind of place where organizations like the Tyler County Family Resource Network do their most important work.

    The FRN connects families to programs, advocates for community resources, and runs initiatives that range from food assistance to family wellness — all in a county that can’t always count on the kind of funding larger communities take for granted.

    They were doing great work. They just needed a website that showed it.

    Industry: Nonprofit / Family & Community Services
    Services: Website Design, Accessibility, Online Donations, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: New! 2025 Client


    The Challenge

    For a small nonprofit in rural West Virginia, a professional digital presence is more than a nice-to-have. It’s how funders evaluate credibility. It’s how families find resources. It’s how the organization demonstrates impact to the state agencies and grant programs that keep it running.

    The Tyler County FRN had the work. They had the community trust. What they didn’t have was a website that communicated either of those things to anyone who wasn’t already part of the Tyler County network.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Creating a professional web presence that reflects the real impact and credibility of the organization
    • Making community programs and resources easy to find for Tyler County families
    • Building in accessibility features to ensure the site serves every member of the community

    The Solution

    FDM built a clean, mission-forward website for the Tyler County FRN — one that gives the organization the professional digital presence it needs to grow, while keeping it grounded in the community work that defines them.

    • A clear organizational structure that tells the FRN story immediately. Programs, projects, and community initiatives are organized so first-time visitors — whether they’re local families or state agency staff — understand exactly what the FRN does and why it matters.
    • Online donation integration that makes it easy to support the mission. Community members and outside supporters can give directly through the website, reducing the friction between intent and action.
    • Accessibility-first design that serves the whole community. Screen reader compatibility, contrast options, keyboard navigation — because every Tyler County resident should be able to access the resources this organization provides.
    • Professional branding aligned with their state partnership. The FRN’s relationship with the West Virginia Department of Human Services is reflected in the site’s credibility and presentation — important for grant applications and funder relationships.

    The Tyler County Family Resource Network is funded in part by the West Virginia Department of Human Services and built entirely on community leadership. Their programs — food assistance, family wellness initiatives, community garden projects — grow out of a direct understanding of what Tyler County families actually need.

    FDM built a website that honors that grassroots mission while giving the organization the professional digital footprint it needs to sustain and grow. Because the best community work deserves to be seen.

    The Results

    Tyler County FRN now has a website that matches the heart of their work — welcoming, accessible, and clear about who they serve and why it matters.

    Small county. Big work. And now a digital presence that finally says so.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional website elevating the organization’s credibility with funders and community partners
    • Clear program and project pages helping Tyler County families find and access support
    • Online donation integration supporting the nonprofit’s long-term sustainability
    • Accessible, mobile-friendly design reaching more community members across Tyler County, WV

  • Anchored in Wellness | More Than Therapy, A Strong Community

    Anchored in Wellness | More Than Therapy, A Strong Community

    Two Missions. One Digital Home That Serves Them Both.

    Some organizations do one thing really well. Anchored in Wellness does two — and they do both without apology. On one side: a licensed private therapy practice offering individual, family, and play therapy, life coaching, and substance abuse services across Southeast Georgia. On the other: a 501(c)(3) nonprofit delivering case management, peer support, and community prevention programs in Jesup, Waycross, and Baxley.

    When they came to FDM, the challenge wasn’t finding a design they liked. It was building a digital home that could hold both missions — clearly enough that no visitor ever felt confused about where they were or what they needed.

    This is the story of a website that learned to carry a dual mission. And do it gracefully.

    Industry: Mental Health & Community Services
    Services: Website Design, Social Media Integration, Online Donations, Hosting & Maintenance, Google+ Directories
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    Mental health is personal — and the digital experience around it matters more than most businesses realize. When someone is searching for a therapist, or trying to figure out how to get a family member help, a confusing website can be the difference between reaching out and closing the tab.

    For Anchored in Wellness, there was an additional layer of complexity: two distinct organizations sharing one brand and one web address. The therapy practice serves paying clients. The nonprofit serves the broader community. Their audiences overlap, but they are not the same — and the website needed to serve both, clearly and confidently.

    The challenge wasn’t just design. It was building an information architecture that could hold real complexity without showing the seams.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Clearly presenting both the private therapy arm and the nonprofit community division without overwhelming visitors
    • Making services like therapy, life coaching, and substance abuse support easy to find and act on
    • Creating a professional, welcoming digital presence that reduced stigma around seeking mental health help

    The Solution

    FDM designed a website that gives each arm of Anchored in Wellness its own space — without building two separate sites. The architecture is deliberate: shared branding, shared navigation, distinct ownership of each section so visitors never wonder where they are.

    • A site for two organizations, built as one. Anchored in Wellness (therapy) and Anchored in Community (nonprofit) each have their own dedicated pages and calls to action — woven together under a single, professional brand identity.
    • Patient portal integration that removes every barrier to starting care. New patients can apply online, access resources, and connect to the secure portal directly from the website — no phone tag required.
    • Online donation capability built into the site. The nonprofit arm runs on community support. FDM made it easy for visitors to give from any page they’re already on.
    • A merchandise store that extends the mission. When your brand stands for something, people want to represent it. The shop adds a community touchpoint while reinforcing what Anchored in Wellness is all about.

    Anchored in Wellness operates across Southeast Georgia — Jesup, Waycross, and Baxley — through both a licensed private practice and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization. Their private practice provides individual, family, and play therapy alongside life skills training and substance abuse counseling. Their nonprofit arm delivers case management, peer support, and community prevention programs for residents who need a different kind of help.

    FDM built a website that holds both missions cleanly. Shared branding, clear navigation, and smart architecture mean every visitor lands exactly where they need to be — and leaves knowing exactly what Anchored in Wellness can do for them.

    The Results

    What Anchored in Wellness has now is a digital presence that matches the depth and intentionality of their work. It doesn’t hide the complexity of what they do — it organizes it. Whether someone arrives looking for a therapist, a community resource, or a way to support the mission, the website takes them where they need to go.

    That’s the point. That’s always been the point.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Clean, organized site serving two distinct audiences without confusion or overlap
    • Patient portal and application integration making it easier for people to start the journey toward care
    • Online donation system supporting the nonprofit mission directly through the website
    • Professional, welcoming design that reduces stigma and opens the door to help

  • Wayne County Clerk of Court | Community Access Made Easy

    Wayne County Clerk of Court | Community Access Made Easy

    A Relationship Built on Trust — and a Website That Proves It

    Some clients come to us for a website. The Wayne County Clerk of Court came to us for a partner. Over a decade ago, we built their first site from the ground up. Since then we’ve grown alongside them… redesigning, modernizing, and maintaining their digital presence through six major updates as the needs of Wayne County’s citizens evolved.

    This isn’t a story about a single project. It’s a story about what happens when you build something right and never stop improving it.

    Industry: Local Government
    Services: Website Redesign, Accessibility Optimization, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    A government office website has one job: help citizens find what they need quickly and without frustration. Forms, contact information, announcements, court schedules… it all needs to be immediately accessible to everyone, regardless of what device they’re using or how comfortable they are with technology.

    As digital standards evolved — mobile usability, accessibility compliance, page speed — the Clerk’s office needed a trusted partner who understood their history and could modernize without disrupting the experience residents already relied on.

    The challenge wasn’t starting over. It was knowing exactly what to keep, what to improve, and what to leave alone.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Improving readability across devices
    • Streamlining navigation to help citizens find key information faster
    • Maintaining the familiar structure trusted by residents

    The Solution

    Because we built the original site and have maintained it continuously, we knew the Clerk’s office inside and out… their content, their users, their workflow. That institutional knowledge meant no onboarding, no learning curve, and no unnecessary risk.

    Each redesign has focused on three things:

    1. Citizens first. Every navigation decision, every layout change, every content update has been made with one question in mind: can a Wayne County resident find what they need in under 60 seconds?
    2. Mobile compatibility at every stage. From desktop-first in 2013 to fully responsive today, we’ve kept the site ahead of how people actually browse — and right now that’s overwhelmingly on their phones.
    3. A backend the staff can actually use. The Clerk’s office manages their own content day to day. We built and rebuilt the backend to make that easy, even as the front end grew more sophisticated.

    The Evolution

    Technology and accessibility standards never stop evolving — and neither should your website. FDM’s long-term relationship with the Wayne County Clerk of Court shows that durability doesn’t mean stagnation; it means building a strong foundation and adapting thoughtfully over time.

    Wayne County Website Evolution
    2013: Original site launched by Web Electronics — simple, static, desktop-first.
    2017: First redesign — more images, expanded navigation, user focus.
    2020: Responsive design and modernization — built for how citizens actually browse.
    2022: UI polish and content enhancements — cleaner layout, better structure.
    2024: UX refinements, updated visual branding, smoother interaction.
    Today: Continuous hosting, performance tuning, and content support by FDM.

    Coming Soon! A redesign with ADA Readiness at the center of the build.

    The Results

    Thirteen years of uninterrupted service. Zero migrations to another provider. A site that has grown with the office rather than being replaced by a stranger every few years.

    For a government office, that continuity matters. Citizens know where to go. Staff know how to manage it. And when something needs to change, there’s a team that already knows the history.

    That’s not a small thing. That’s the whole thing.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Faster load times and mobile optimization
    • Streamlined backend management for Clerk’s office staff
    • Enhanced accessibility for all citizens
    • Continued uptime and reliability built on FDM’s proven hosting and support

  • Long County Recreation Department | Champions on the Field, Champions Online

    Long County Recreation Department | Champions on the Field, Champions Online

    A Championship Recreation Department Deserves a Championship Digital Presence.

    In 2025, the Long County Recreation Department became GRPA 14U Baseball District and State Champions. Their 10U Live team won the GRPA Class C State Tournament. This is not a department that does things halfway.

    Their website — a full-featured registration and communication hub for football, soccer, cheerleading, baseball, softball, flag football, cross country, and more — reflects that same standard.

    FDM built it to match.

    Industry: Government / Parks & Recreation
    Services: Website Design, Online Registration System, Social Media Feed Integration, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    Running a full-slate recreation department means managing multiple sports, multiple age groups, and multiple seasons — while keeping parents informed, coaches equipped, and volunteers recruited. For Long County Rec, doing that without a real digital platform meant the administrative load fell on staff who could be spending that time on the field.

    Families wanted to register online. Coaches needed easy access to athletic manuals and schedules. The department needed a platform that could handle everything — registration, announcements, event calendars — without requiring a full-time webmaster.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Providing a streamlined online registration system that handles multiple sports and age groups efficiently
    • Building a sports program hub where families can find schedules, age requirements, and registration deadlines
    • Creating a platform that highlights achievements and builds community pride around Long County recreation

    The Solution

    FDM built a sports-forward recreation website for Long County that gives families the modern registration experience they expect — and gives the department the communication tools they need to run programs at scale.

    • Online registration that handles every sport and season. Families register from home, on their phones, on their schedule. The system handles multiple sports, age groups, and seasonal sign-up periods without requiring a call to the office.
    • Individual sport program pages for every offering. Football, soccer, cheerleading, baseball, softball, flag football, cross country — each with age requirements, season dates, and registration information clearly organized.
    • Facilities pages that help families find the right location. Practice sites and game venues across Long County are detailed so parents and coaches always know where to show up.
    • Events calendar and announcement tools. Game schedules, registration deadlines, tryout dates — all organized in one place and easy to keep current as the season evolves.

    The 2025 GRPA 14U Baseball State Championship. The GRPA Class C State Tournament win for the 10U Live team. These aren’t just accomplishments for the kids involved — they’re a reflection of the quality of a recreation department that takes its programs seriously.

    FDM built a website that takes them just as seriously. From volunteer coach recruitment pages to championship celebration content, the site serves every aspect of what Long County Recreation does — and gives the community a place to see it.

    The Results

    Long County Recreation Department now has a professional digital home that matches their on-field performance. Families register easily. Coaches find what they need. And the department celebrates wins with a community that’s fully connected online.

    Champions on the field. Champions online. That’s what we built.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Online registration reducing paperwork and improving sign-up rates for youth sports programs
    • Comprehensive sport pages making every program accessible and visible to Long County families
    • Achievement showcase building community pride and celebrating championship-level performance
    • Events calendar keeping the community connected to everything happening in Long County rec

They come for marriage licenses before a wedding, death certificates after a loss, and guardianship filings when a family is navigating something complicated. These are the moments that matter — and the last thing anyone needs in those moments is a confusing website.

    Wayne County Probate Court understood that. When they came to FDM, they weren’t looking for a flashy redesign. They were looking for a website that could do its job quietly and well — so that every Wayne County resident who needed them could find them.

    That’s exactly what we built.

    The Challenge

    A government office website has one job: help people find what they need quickly and without frustration. Forms, fees, contact information, office hours — it all needs to be immediately accessible, on every device, to residents of every age and every level of digital comfort.

    For the probate court, that means handling a wide variety of services under one roof: birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, weapons carry permits, guardianship filings, estate documents. Each service comes with its own forms, its own fees, and its own process. Getting that organized in a way that felt clear — not overwhelming — was the design challenge at the center of this build.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Making critical services like vital records, marriage licenses, and weapons carry licenses instantly findable
    • Providing downloadable forms and clear fee information to reduce unnecessary office visits
    • Creating a professional, authoritative presence that builds public trust in county government

    The Solution

    FDM designed a clean, professional government website built around a single principle: citizens should never have to work hard to find basic information. From a rotating service carousel to downloadable forms and YouTube-embedded explainer videos, every detail was built with the public in mind.

    • A rotating homepage carousel that puts every service front and center. Birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, weapons carry permits, guardianships — visitors see exactly what the court does the moment they land on the page.
    • A comprehensive forms and document library. Every downloadable form, fee schedule, and definition of terms is organized and immediately accessible. No more calling the office to ask what paperwork to bring.
    • Staff and judge bios that humanize the office. Judge Hope S. Cunningham and every clerk are introduced and easily accessible with integrated phone and email contact buttons.

    Probate court work touches the most significant paperwork of a person’s life — the documents that mark beginnings, endings, and the moments in between. FDM built this website to honor that weight. Every section is organized to reduce confusion and unnecessary back-and-forth, so staff can focus on the people standing at the counter instead of answering the same phone questions over and over.

    The result is a website that serves residents before they ever walk through the door — and that continues to serve them even when the office is closed.

    The Results

    Wayne Probate Court now has a digital presence worthy of the office. Professional, well-organized, and built for the public — it delivers better service to residents while reducing the administrative burden on staff.

    For a government office, that kind of efficiency isn’t just convenient. It’s the point.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Clear, service-focused homepage reducing confusion for residents seeking vital records and licenses
    • Comprehensive downloadable forms library reducing unnecessary in-person inquiries
    • Professional, trusted online presence representing Wayne County government with dignity

  • Signatronics | Just Better Together

    Signatronics | Just Better Together

    Every Sign Tells a Story. So Does Digital Marketing.

    Signatronics builds signs that get noticed. Watchfire LED digital displays that stop traffic. Custom indoor signs that define a brand. Monument signs, foamcore wall panels, price watchers for gas stations and retail — a full range of signage solutions for businesses, churches, schools, and government clients alike.

    But a sign company’s website needs to do exactly what their signs do: attract attention, communicate quality, and drive action.

    Their old web presence wasn’t doing any of that. FDM changed the equation.

    The Challenge

    Signage is an inherently visual business. Clients don’t want to read about what Signatronics can do — they want to see it. And they want to see it in context: on a church marquee, above a retail entrance, in front of a government building.

    Signatronics had a substantial portfolio and years of diverse project experience. The problem was none of it was being communicated digitally. A potential client searching for a sign company in South Georgia couldn’t see the work, couldn’t explore product options, and had no obvious way to start a conversation.

    The website needed to become the portfolio — and the portfolio needed to become the sales team.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Showcasing a large and diverse portfolio of completed projects in a compelling, visual way
    • Clearly presenting product lines and services to attract leads from businesses, churches, and government clients
    • Converting website visitors into inquiries with effective, clear calls to action

    The Solution

    FDM built a portfolio-driven website for Signatronics where the work speaks first. Visitors can browse recent installations by project type, explore every product line, and request a quote — all without picking up the phone.

    • A project portfolio gallery that does the selling. 15+ recent installations are showcased by project type and client — churches, schools, businesses, government entities — giving prospective clients an immediate sense of Signatronics’ range and quality.
    • Clear product category pages for every sign type. Watchfire LED digital signs. Indoor and outdoor standard signs. Foamcore wall panels and monument signs. Price watchers for retail. Every product has its own page with descriptions and examples.
    • ‘Ask Us!’ and ‘Need a Sign?’ calls to action throughout the site. Browsing visitors have a clear path to becoming inquiries at every point in their experience — no dead ends, no confusion about what to do next.
    • An educational resources section. Helping clients make informed decisions builds trust. Signatronics’ resources section gives potential buyers the context they need to choose confidently.

    From government buildings to local churches to retail stores and healthcare facilities, Signatronics has built signs for nearly every type of client in South Georgia. Each installation is a case study in what the right sign can do for a business or organization — and every one of them now lives on the website.

    FDM designed a site that tells the Signatronics story visually, because that’s the only way this story should be told. When a potential client sees a digital LED sign they recognize from across town, listed right there in the portfolio with their name on it — that’s when the conversation starts.

    The Results

    Signatronics now has a website that works as hard as their signs do. It attracts leads, showcases expertise, and gives every visitor a clear path to getting the sign they need.

    The signs get the attention. The online presence closes the deal.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional web presence that matches the quality and craftsmanship of Signatronics’ physical products
    • Comprehensive portfolio gallery turning completed projects into ongoing lead generation tools
    • Clear listings in business directories making it easy to find updated an accurate information
    • Informative and storytelling social media campaigns to drive conversations
