Case Study: Antler Ridge Lodge
Owners Steve and Donna Kubik got ahold of us through a referral. We built their website and eventually ended up working on a variety of different services for them.
Web Design & Website Content
The design is fairly simple web design. The design is clean, has good photography and the content is straight to the point highlighting their hunting services.
View the website: www.antlerridgelodge.com
The website is broken out into separate sections (pheasant, deer, turkey) to encourage visitors to get more information on the hunting experience offered at Antler Ridge Lodge in Hamill, South Dakota.
The web site has other requested features: lodging, articles, video, photo gallery, custom contact form to email, customer testimonials, hunting wallpapers. The Website Manager gives Antler Ridge Lodge full control over their website, so they can update all the content and photos on their own.
Brochures
3 years after lauching their website, Steve stated a need for brochures. He looked around at different companies online and decided we do premium work.
Photography & Panoramic Photos
Steve invited us out to the South Dakota Invitational Governor's Hunt in 2009 and did a quick photo shoot of the lodge for him when we weren't pheasant hunting.
We got invited out to the pheasant hunting opener at Antler Ridge Lodge and we took Virtual Tour's of their lodge. Click here to view it.
Visiting Antler Ridge Lodge
We had the honor of getting invited out to Antler Ridge Lodge to take photos and virtual tours and in addition, we got to talk about SEO, marketing, advertising and a variety of other things.
Website Feedback
Here's an example of a customer that contacted Antler Ridge Lodge off of their website:
"My father and I are going to take a hunting trip. We have never been to South Dakota but know that it offers the very best in pheasant hunting. We would like to combine pheasant hunting with white tail deer hunting with a rifle. I was searching the internet and came across hundreds of web sites but thought yours was the most professional which is why I am contacting you first. Could you please give me an accurate quote on what a combo hunt would cost? We would like at least 3 days of deer hunting along with a minimum of 2 days of pheasant hunting. I have noticed that some outfitters in South Dakota only offer bow hunting for deer. I want to make it clear that we are interested in rifle hunting for whitetail. I also want to hunt wild birds and not pen raised birds on a preserve. I would also need to know the cost for out of state licences for both pheasant and antlered deer. Finally what time this fall can I get both the pheasant and deer hunting done together? I would prefer to get something booked sooner rather than later."
Testimonial from the Kubik's
"Ryan, We booked a couple of groups for the first part of November. They all comment on the professional looking website---a good first impression. That is really a good accomplishment. My nephew, who works in the computer support dept., and I were looking at our web statistics and the different things people search for that end up on our site. He was really impressed at how high on the list our site pops up in search engines. He commented the my computer guy really knows what he is doing. Another one of my observations was that some of the established operations with websites never pop up. I booked a small corporate group of 7 guys, a group of 6 and a group of 5. All these groups went strictly off our website. That is really good considering we just started with you 6 months ago!"
