Firefighters Insurance Agency Launches New Site!

Two weeks ago, Magnolia Media was contacted by a previous customer of ours concerning a new website for a completely separate company that needed some assistance. During the first week of June, Firefighters Insurance Agency will be at a convention handing out new brochures and business cards with their website address on them. Needless to say, they want a website they are excited about these firefighters visiting after the convention.

They had already set up a free Flash website through Wix.com that wasn’t as attractive or functional as what they really wanted for the company. For those of you unaware of the downsides to templates (especially Flash templates), they are not search engine friendly in the least! Especially these that are free, on a sub-domain of wix.com. They leave the least amount of room possible to optimize your site to be found. FIA’s inquiry focused mainly on search engine optimization and professionalism. Having already been a customer of ours, they understood that all of Magnolia Media’s work is custom-designed to meet the client’s needs, and definitely search engine friendly. So, they called us on Friday the 14th, we set a price and got started on Monday (the 17th), and launched the site that Friday (the 21st)…within a week of the initial contact!

The site was designed based on the same general layout as the previous site they created in house, and was only 6 pages. With a deadline of 2 weeks before they’d be handing their website address out to many Florida firefighters, and knowing we had a lot of projects to keep us busy this past week, we pushed the whole site into a one week period from beginning to end. Much credit goes to Jeff, Lisa, and Richard at the company, who had a great quick response to our questions and ideas, and also had their information ready since they had just created the first site. It makes for a very smooth and quick process!

Firefighters Insurance Agency, located in Tallahassee, Florida offers the highest quality insurance products through quality companies for the benefit of members of the Florida Professional Firefighters Association. They offer so many different insurance products, including ones related to firefighting injuries, and others such as auto, home, motorcycle, commercial coverage for secondary businesses, or even retirement and estate planning services. If you’re a nearby firefighter, take a look at what they have to offer full-time and volunteer firefighters. You may be surprised how much it could help you and your family!

Here are links to see the before and after of what we did for Firefighters Insurance Agency:

Jeff, Lisa, and Richard, thank you all so much for thinking of us in this project, and we look forward to our growing relationship in the future! Good luck at the convention next week!
