Web Design · Indianapolis, IN

Indianapolis web design that's ready for May.

More than 300,000 fans come for the Indianapolis 500, and the 500 Festival fills the rest of the month. Gen Con and the State Fair follow in August. The city's visitors decide from their phones.

Visit Indy counts 30.5 million visitors a year spending about $6.4 billion, and the calendar explains why. The Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend draws more than 300,000 fans, and Visit Indy calls it the largest single-day sporting event in the world. The 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and Parade fill the weeks before it. The Brickyard 400 arrives in July, and August brings both Gen Con, the tabletop gaming convention, and the Indiana State Fair. For restaurants, hotels, bars, rentals and shops, each is a crowd of people who do not know the city and will choose from a search result.

A site built for that crowd answers the visitor's questions first. Where you are relative to downtown or the Speedway. Hours during race weekend and convention week, which are rarely normal. Whether you take reservations, groups or walk-ins. Parking. Prices. A booking or ordering button that works in two taps on a phone held by someone standing on a sidewalk.

The same discipline serves residents, who are just as phone-bound. For the trades, Indianapolis housing adds its own content: the city's median home was built in 1973, old enough for original systems to be reaching the end of their lives, and pages that explain replacement choices plainly win those jobs. Pricing is fixed by page count, from $1,500 for ten pages or fewer, and most sites launch within seven to ten days. See pricing, or the restaurant and hospitality work for booking-first examples.
