A Site Your Customers Can Actually Use
For an industrial supplier, that may mean a product catalog and a quick route to request a quote. A medical practice needs clear service details and an easy appointment path. A restaurant or specialty shop needs people to find hours, menus, products, and ordering options without hunting around.
Whatever your business does, we start with the questions your visitors are trying to answer. Then we build the design, WordPress tools, and search foundation around those answers. No mystery process. No vanishing act when the site goes live.
Websites We’ve Designed and Developed
MIG & CO. - Software
MIG approached us, ready for a major overhaul of their outdated website geared toward business lead generation. We put special attention to making the website load lightning-fast and snappy. Our new design is still delivering results for them, now years later, and they couldn't be more satisfied.
Faxination
Faxination was a unique redesign where we seamlessly combined two websites into a single, visually captivating, and professionally polished site. Even though this unique request presented some challenges, we were able to work through it seamlessly. Ultimately, our client expressed great satisfaction with the innovative custom design we delivered!
— Susan Leid
Christie Dustman - Landscape Design
One of our most beloved and highly regarded website designs is for Christie Dustman and her landscape design company.

We designed and built this fully interactive law tutoring portal for StudyBuddyPro that serves hundreds of law students nationwide. This includes subscription-based ecommerce functionality, online courses, quizzes, member dashboard, individual user analytics and much more!
Imhoff Painting
First, we refreshed Imhoff's branding with a new style guide. Next, we redesigned their company website based on the new look. Our copy-writers also edited the sales copy of their web pages to create a more consistent and engaging brand voice.
Once we launched the new version of this site, their conversions increased 75%!

Catchlight Painting
We designed a beautiful, custom website for Catchlight Painting that we've noticed many of their competitors attempt to replicate after it was launched. Next, we focused on their SEO performance and were able to TRIPLE their traffic from search engines in 12 months. Needless to say, they are definitely Hogging the Web!
Eskow Law Group
The Eskow Law Group wanted something refreshingly different for their website. Hog the Web was able to design and build a unique web presence that perfectly captured their vision. The design is also user-friendly and optimized to adapt to all different device screen sizes, from mobile to tablet to desktop.
AMS Insights - Marketing
We had helped the AMS marketing team with maintaining their old, and somewhat glitchy e-commerce website for several years. Finally, they grew tired of the extra hassle and cost of constantly fixing the old site and asked us to rebuild it from the ground up. Not only was the new site much more visually appealing, but also relieved their constant headaches in it's smooth and stable functioning.
Citroniq - Energy
One of our long-time clients provides digital marketing services to various energy industry companies. We've partnered together on many projects over the years, like this one. We've enjoyed collaborating with other experts on his team, such as content writers, CRM specialists, and more, in order to deliver a whole-package end product that serves a diversity of functions and yields results.
Scott B. Franklin & Associates - Law
Franklin Law and Associates has partnered with Hog the Web since 2018. In addition to designing and building a beautiful, modern website, they have relied on us for all their web-related needs, from marketing their LLC services to creating user-friendly onboarding forms for their clients and even setting up new email accounts and forwarders.
Oxlo - Software
Oxlo, a Dura company, approached us to modernize their seven-page website and improve its navigation for a more user-friendly experience. Drawing from our successful collaboration on a previous website redesign project, we worked closely with their team to update both the content and design resulting in an eye-catching new look.
DJS Advisory LLC
This client wanted to get their consulting business online, but they didn't know where to start. We teamed up with them to figure out which services were most important to showcase, and then we designed a website with eye-catching colors and clear images. The client was ecstatic with the results, and their business got a major boost in online visibility.
Association of Academic Support Educators - Law
We redesigned the website for AASE including a brand new, user-friendly membership subscription portal for Law School educators that includes a dashboard area with members-only content like presentation recordings, event registration, scholarship opportunities, a forum, and more.
Input Ace - Software
Input Ace was in a rapid growth phase and needed a new, industry-leading website design to reflect their new success. After attempting to work with a lower-budget designer, they were unimpressed with the results. After reaching out to us, they were dazzled when we revealed our new designs for their website, and they've referred many more clients to us since the successfully completed project.
Greenfire Bio - Research
This client was launching a new biotech company and needed a clean, professional-looking web presence on short notice. Leveraging some existing design templates, and stock imagery, we were quickly able to build and launch their new website. It turned out so well that they haven't felt a need to redesign it yet!
Keystate - Energy
One of our long-time clients provides digital marketing services to various energy industry companies. We've partnered together on many projects over the years, like this one. We've enjoyed collaborating with other experts on his team, such as content writers, CRM specialists, and more, in order to deliver a whole-package end product that serves a diversity of functions and yields results.
Gilreath & Associates - Law
Gilreath & Associates came to us wanting a backup copy of their current website taken, before having us redesign/rebuild it. We quickly discovered that it was built on a proprietary content management system (CMS) and there was no way to save a working backup copy of the old website. This was very frustrating. Fortunately we build all out websites on the open-source WordPress CMS, which can be used by any developer, and migrated to any hosting provider. This gave the client much greater peace of mind in investing in building the new site with us.
Health First Consulting - Medical
Cass had a novel business idea of creating patient education videos that doctors and hospitals could purchase access to. We worked with her to create a user-friendly store and checkout process that included granting instant access to the videos. Her customers can even generate an expiring link that grants temporary access to the videos for their various office devices. Once we launched the new site, she received numerous compliments on the site's design and ease of use.
Mike Sarraille - Coaching
Hog the Web designed and built several websites now for Mike Sarraille and his marketing team. We enjoyed the more hands-on approach of his team and the way we were able to bounce ideas back and forth to arrive at end results that really exceeded everyone's expectations. As they say, teamwork makes the dream work!
FHL Banks - Finance
FHLBanks approached us to give their website a much needed refresh. Since the new site was launched, we've enjoyed working together with their team to add new pages, update the content, and continue to improve the site for their customers.

Custom design, serious WordPress development
Sheboygan Web Design & WordPress Services
Some websites need a complete rethink. Others already have good content and search traffic that should be protected. We help Sheboygan-area organizations figure out what to keep, what to rebuild, and what functionality is worth investing in.
Custom Websites Without Template Thinking
Design shaped around your services, brand, audiences, and conversion goals. Clear navigation, usable mobile layouts, and calls to action that fit how customers actually buy.
WordPress Redesign & SEO Preservation
If your site ranks for important searches, we don’t treat it like a blank canvas. Before rebuilding, we inspect valuable pages, search data, URLs, redirects, and links. Then we plan the move carefully.
E-commerce, Catalogs & Useful Integrations
WooCommerce stores, product and spec libraries, quote-request forms, online bookings, member resources, and connections to the software your team already uses. The point is to reduce friction, not add another system to babysit.
SEO, AI Search & WordPress Support
We build for crawlable content, clear page relationships, technical health, and ongoing improvement. Regular updates, security, troubleshooting, and practical SEO work can continue long after your launch date.
Actual projects, actual measurement
Good Websites Need More Than Good Intentions
When you’re weighing a website investment, it helps to see what changed for real clients. These projects tackled three different challenges: repairing search damage, improving B2B homepage engagement, and helping new people discover a brand through organic search.
Redesign damage and SEO recovery
+75%
Imhoff Fine Residential Painting
A previous vendor cut a content-rich site down to about five pages and its organic traffic fell 97%. We restored important pages, URLs, and conversion pathways. Following the recovery and redesign, GA4-tracked conversions were 75% higher than on the original website before the crash, excluding spam form submissions. For established service firms, protecting existing visibility matters.
B2B homepage design and user engagement
+49.9%
Applied Marketing Science
A clearer homepage helped visitors find services, expertise, and proof. In the 42 days after its July 2026 launch, homepage engagement rate improved from 25.0% to 37.5%, a 49.9% relative increase versus the 42 days before. That kind of clarity can be just as valuable to a Sheboygan supplier with several buyer types.
Focused technical and content SEO campaign
+207%
Overwatch
Across a March–August 2026 SEO engagement, targeted technical work, better optimized pages, and useful content helped monthly non-branded organic clicks increase 207%. This was an SEO project, not a site redesign. It shows why product and service pages deserve attention after a site launches.

Made for the businesses operating here
What Sheboygan Businesses Need From a Website
Sheboygan is a strong manufacturing market, but there’s a lot more than factories. Food processors and suppliers, healthcare providers, independent shops, skilled trades, and service businesses all operate here. The Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation’s industry profile shows manufacturing’s significant role, while the Chamber’s business directory reflects a broader mix of local firms. Different customers bring different website expectations.
Manufacturers, distributors & supply-chain firms
Industrial buyers often need dimensions, certifications, applications, downloadable documents, and evidence you can meet a requirement. We help make capabilities and product information scannable, then guide buyers toward a real RFQ. The same approach supports food processors, equipment firms, and specialty suppliers.
Healthcare, dental & professional services
A prospective patient wants to know whether you offer the right service. A referring professional wants something different. Staff and job applicants have their own needs. Organize those paths clearly, keep accessibility in mind, and choose forms that fit the sensitivity of the information collected.
Local trades, hospitality & specialty retail
Contractors want qualified inquiries, shops need discoverable inventory or product categories, and hospitality businesses need fast mobile answers about availability and booking. A practical WordPress setup should let the business update details promptly without waiting on a developer.
Built for Sheboygan County, Not Just One Zip Code
Our web design and WordPress development services support organizations serving Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls, Kohler, Plymouth, Oostburg, and nearby communities. A local service business may need distinct service-area pages; a regional manufacturer may need a website aimed at buyers across the country. We plan your site for the actual market you sell into, rather than piling up city keywords.
The City of Sheboygan’s 2026 comprehensive plan also points to manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and hospitality as meaningful parts of the city economy.
Before you sign that web design proposal
Choosing a Sheboygan Web Design Company
There are capable agencies in Sheboygan County, from full-service branding firms to specialist WordPress developers. So a nice-looking portfolio, by itself, doesn’t tell you enough. Compare the work behind the price: what you’ll be able to edit, who controls the domain, how SEO will be handled, and what help costs six months from now.
Business owners on Reddit have raised questions about unexpected hosting and maintenance charges. Those discussions aren’t specific to Sheboygan, but the buying lesson is universal: ask for the whole picture.
Does the proposal describe what you’ll receive?
Look for the number of distinct page designs, content responsibilities, migration details, training, revisions, forms, and integrations. “Ten pages” can mean anything from ten copied layouts to a fairly complex site.
Will your company control its online assets?
Ask whose name is on the domain registration and who can access WordPress, hosting, analytics, Search Console, and paid software. You should understand license restrictions and how a future handoff works.
What is the plan for existing search traffic?
For established sites, review top organic landing pages, 404 risks, redirects, content changes, and testing procedures. This is especially important when suppliers have older specification or product pages that searchers still use.
What do recurring charges actually cover?
Hosting, backups, software licensing, malware monitoring, bug fixes, and content changes are different services. Ask which are included, which are optional, and how support requests are handled. No one enjoys a surprise invoice.
A predictable process with room for feedback
How We Build Your Sheboygan WordPress Site
We begin by understanding the site you have, the customers you’re trying to reach, and the tasks people need to complete. A busy food manufacturer and a new service company should not be forced through exactly the same plan.
Discovery & a usable baseline
Discuss business goals, audience, access, existing traffic, valuable content, competitor context, and current website frustrations. Identify the pages and functions worth preserving.
Structure, content & design
Map service paths, product categories, resources, and calls to action. Then create clear designs that fit the brand and the needs of different visitors.
Development, migration & review
Build editable WordPress modules, configure integrations, implement content and redirect plans, and test responsive layouts, forms, and navigation in staging.
Launch, check & improve
Coordinate deployment, verify priority pages and conversions, monitor search issues, and provide training or ongoing maintenance as needed.
We agree on milestones, responsibilities, approval rounds, and what happens after launch. You see the work in staging before it replaces anything live.
Understand the investment before committing
How Much Does Sheboygan Web Design Cost?
A straightforward local service website, a multilingual food brand site, and a manufacturer’s searchable product catalog are three different jobs. Their prices should be different, too.
We estimate based on the design requirements, unique page templates, content and photography, e-commerce or other integrations, and the complexity of moving an existing site. On a redesign, preserving organic traffic takes planning time. It belongs in the scope, not as an afterthought.
For a ballpark starting point, try our 3-minute website estimator. We can discuss the important details once you know what you want the website to accomplish.
Where the project budget goes
Compare Scope, Not Just Page Count
- Custom designs or an existing brand and design system
- Unique product, service, resource, and location templates
- Content writing, image sourcing, and page migration
- Online orders, catalog search, booking, and CRM connections
- SEO benchmarking, redirects, and launch monitoring
- Testing, revision rounds, staff training, and support
Hosting, software licenses, and optional maintenance should be explained separately.
Independence without being left on your own
Keep the Website. Keep Control of Your Content.
A sales manager might need to publish new product specifications next week. A practice administrator may just need to update team profiles and hours. Both should be able to handle ordinary changes without paying for a developer every time.
Our WordPress builds put practical editing tools in the hands of your staff, with training and clear conversations about domain ownership, hosting, and license requirements. If you prefer to have us handle the ongoing care, we do that too.
Long-term WordPress care
Support After the Launch Excitement Wears Off
WordPress stays useful when someone maintains it. That means software updates, security, backups, form checks, and occasional fixes or content improvements. We can review whether your current hosting is suitable and outline the optional care available.
We want to be the team you can reach when something needs attention, not a name you forget after launch.
Straight answers before you hire
Sheboygan Web Design: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WordPress pricing, manufacturing catalogs, search preservation, business ownership, healthcare sites, hosting, and support after launch.
Do you design WordPress websites for Sheboygan businesses?
Yes. Hog the Web provides custom web design, WordPress development, SEO-conscious redesigns, and ongoing support for businesses serving Sheboygan and Sheboygan County. We work with service firms, professional practices, manufacturers, nonprofits, and businesses selling to customers outside the region.
What should a Sheboygan business budget for professional web design?
There isn’t one reliable price for every website. A five-page service site is different from a product catalog, WooCommerce store, or complex redesign. The budget depends on unique page layouts, content, functionality, integrations, and migration work. Use our 3-minute estimator as a planning starting point, then we can scope what you actually need.
Can a redesign keep our existing Google rankings?
We plan to protect the search value you already have by auditing important pages, existing traffic, URLs, backlinks, redirects, internal links, and metadata before launch. We also check the new site after deployment. Rankings can still fluctuate; nobody can guarantee that every position stays unchanged. Our Imhoff case study shows why that preparation matters.
Can you build a catalog or RFQ website for a Sheboygan-area manufacturer?
Yes. Manufacturers and distributors may need searchable product or capabilities pages, application details, downloadable documents, custom forms, and clear pathways for purchasing teams. We can design structured WordPress content and quote-request workflows around those needs.
Should our company use WordPress instead of Wix or Squarespace?
It depends. A basic brochure website may work well on Wix or Squarespace. WordPress becomes attractive when you want more control over content, integrations, SEO architecture, product catalogs, or future development. We look at the business requirements first, not just a preferred platform.
Can you handle online orders, bookings, or membership features?
Often, yes. WordPress supports WooCommerce, appointment scheduling, event registration, memberships, and third-party integrations. We scope payments, user permissions, data needs, and ongoing upkeep before recommending particular plugins or custom features.
Can you support a healthcare or dental practice website?
We can create easy-to-navigate service pages, staff profiles, appointment paths, and accessible interfaces. If the site will process protected health information, the chosen forms, providers, security, agreements, and workflows require separate compliance review; a typical WordPress form is not automatically HIPAA-compliant.
Who controls the domain, WordPress website, and analytics accounts?
We clarify account ownership, administrator access, hosting, analytics, Search Console, and any third-party licenses during project planning and handoff. Your organization should know which assets it controls and what would be involved in changing providers later.
Can you repair or take over our existing WordPress site?
Usually. We review the theme and plugins, current hosting, backups, editing experience, search performance, and known problems first. Sometimes targeted fixes make more sense than paying for a complete rebuild.
How long does it take to finish a custom website?
Timing depends on how many unique designs you need, whether content and photos are ready, review cycles, specialized integrations, and whether an existing site is being migrated. We agree on the milestones and responsibilities before building rather than promising a one-size-fits-all launch date.
Is maintenance included after launch, and can we keep our hosting?
We discuss the handoff, training, and any included launch support as part of the project scope. Optional WordPress maintenance and security plans provide ongoing care. Existing hosting can often stay if it meets the website’s technical and security needs.
Do we need an in-person meeting to work with Hog the Web?
No. Hog the Web is headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, and works with Sheboygan businesses through calls, design presentations, shared project materials, and staging reviews. You can see the work and provide feedback throughout the project without traveling.
