WebWise Design & Marketing has been involved in economic development directly and indirectly since our earliest years. WebWise has worked continuously with the City of Fennimore, Wisconsin since 1995 and the City of Boscobel, WI since 1998, developing and maintaining their websites.

We have also worked continuously with Grant County Economic Development Corp. (GCEDC) since 1998 when we created the first grancounty.org website and recently launched the newest version.  We have regularly gone to nearly all of the GCEDC meetings and have had the opportunity to learn and appreciate how dedicated the people on Town Boards (and their staff) in Grant County are.

WebWise has taken what we learned through our working with GCEDC, attending their meetings, and developing and supporting municipalities of Fennimore and Boscobel, and developed ready-to-use websites for Towns & Villages.

• Professionally Designed & Developed
• Secure, permission-based Administrative area
• Easily add/edit/delete Agendas, Minutes, Ordinances, Permits, Licenses, etc.
• Mobile-Friendly and Device Responsive
• User-friendly Navigation
• Website Security via SSL and HTTPS
• SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is built in
• ADA and WCAG Accessibility Compliance included with hosting account
• Notification Bar – Display Emergency Notices When needed

We know what it takes to provide information, agendas, minutes, ordinances, forms, meeting schedules, and notices online making them readily accessible via download to all who request them.

We know saving money on printing & mailing documents is a good thing.

We understand that Town Clerks are busy, so the website administrative area makes it easy to add/edit/delete documents.

We know local government websites must address the issue of website accessibility compliance, so we use UserWay to mitigate that issue.

If you are on a Town or Village Board or would like the Town or Village Board where you live to have a website that makes life a little better for them and you, ask them to call WebWise Design & Marketing at 608-822-3750 or check out webwisetowns.com.

The WebWise team is excited to announce a new wine shopping experience on the Whispering Bluffs Winery website. Working closely with the owner, Wes Helmick, Wine Maker, Larry Boyd, and Mary Beth Gerhards, the Whispering Bluffs Winery new website showcases their extraordinary award-winning wines, each having unique flavors and characteristics.

Located in Potosi, Wisconsin, and nestled along the scenic Mississippi River, Whispering Bluffs Winery is a purveyor of an assortment of fine wines. Southwest Wisconsin is not Napa Valley, and Wes knew that many of the vines that flourished in California wouldn’t make it through a winter in the Midwest.

The wines from Whispering Bluffs Winery are Wisconsin grown and harvested from vines developed to withstand temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero. Their cold-hardy Upper Mississippi Valley AVA* grapes are fermented and blended to create bold award-winning wines.

Fine wine makes a great gift for others and yourself. See and buy award-winning Whispering Bluffs Winery wines today!

* An American Viticultural Area

Recently, the WebWise Design & Marketing team had the pleasure of working with Jake Faherty of Faherty and Son Well Drilling located in Platteville, Wisconsin. They had a very old website that was not mobile-friendly nor device-responsive. Additionally, the content no longer entirely reflected the professional services they provide.

Faherty and Son Well Drilling is family-owned with five generations providing professional well drilling services since 1892. They are members of the National Ground Water Association and the Wisconsin Well Drillers Association.

Faherty and Son Well Drilling provides residential and commercial well drilling as well as geothermal drilling services in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois.

Whether you need residential well drilling or high capacity commercial well drilling, Faherty and Son Well Drilling should be you first call. Check them out! fahertyandsonwelldrilling.com

WebWise Design & Marketing recently launched a website for Fennimore Area Health Services, Ltd, a non-profit foundation in Fennimore, Wisconsin. FAHS firmly planted its community roots when it was incorporated in 1983.

The initial Board of Directors, under the direction of then president James Larson, included Sarah Lendosky, Kathy Borowski, Keith Rands, Russell May, Doug Daeschel, Robert Novinska, Ray Hoffman, Willis Hamilton, Richard Nelson, and Sybil Koenecke. They initiated a fund drive, which began in May of 1983, to raise funds for the construction of a medical clinic. You may read all about the history here https://fahsltd.com/history/.

Scholarships

The FAHS Board at their discretion annually awards scholarships to eligible applicants pursuing an education in a healthcare-related field. Fennimore School District High School seniors and graduates attending college who meet the requirements may apply. FAHS also awards eligible Fennimore area college students (including returning adults) who are continuing their education.

Community Donations

The Fennimore Area Health Services Foundation supports community health-related entities and services providing donations annually and on a per instance basis. A few examples:

• Fennimore Rescue Squad

• Aiming for Acceptance
• Fennimore Schools – Portable AED devices

The corporation shall be dedicated to the benefit of the public and to improving the health, safety, and welfare of the Fennimore community.”
