    Tyler County Family Resource Network | Big Heart, Stronger Digital Reach

    Rural Community. Real Impact. A Website That Finally Shows It.

    Tyler County, West Virginia is small. Middlebourne, the county seat, is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone — which is exactly the kind of place where organizations like the Tyler County Family Resource Network do their most important work.

    The FRN connects families to programs, advocates for community resources, and runs initiatives that range from food assistance to family wellness — all in a county that can’t always count on the kind of funding larger communities take for granted.

    They were doing great work. They just needed a website that showed it.

    The Challenge

    For a small nonprofit in rural West Virginia, a professional digital presence is more than a nice-to-have. It’s how funders evaluate credibility. It’s how families find resources. It’s how the organization demonstrates impact to the state agencies and grant programs that keep it running.

    The Tyler County FRN had the work. They had the community trust. What they didn’t have was a website that communicated either of those things to anyone who wasn’t already part of the Tyler County network.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Creating a professional web presence that reflects the real impact and credibility of the organization
    • Making community programs and resources easy to find for Tyler County families
    • Building in accessibility features to ensure the site serves every member of the community

    The Solution

    FDM built a clean, mission-forward website for the Tyler County FRN — one that gives the organization the professional digital presence it needs to grow, while keeping it grounded in the community work that defines them.

    • A clear organizational structure that tells the FRN story immediately. Programs, projects, and community initiatives are organized so first-time visitors — whether they’re local families or state agency staff — understand exactly what the FRN does and why it matters.
    • Online donation integration that makes it easy to support the mission. Community members and outside supporters can give directly through the website, reducing the friction between intent and action.
    • Accessibility-first design that serves the whole community. Screen reader compatibility, contrast options, keyboard navigation — because every Tyler County resident should be able to access the resources this organization provides.
    • Professional branding aligned with their state partnership. The FRN’s relationship with the West Virginia Department of Human Services is reflected in the site’s credibility and presentation — important for grant applications and funder relationships.

    The Tyler County Family Resource Network is funded in part by the West Virginia Department of Human Services and built entirely on community leadership. Their programs — food assistance, family wellness initiatives, community garden projects — grow out of a direct understanding of what Tyler County families actually need.

    FDM built a website that honors that grassroots mission while giving the organization the professional digital footprint it needs to sustain and grow. Because the best community work deserves to be seen.

    The Results

    Tyler County FRN now has a website that matches the heart of their work — welcoming, accessible, and clear about who they serve and why it matters.

    Small county. Big work. And now a digital presence that finally says so.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional website elevating the organization’s credibility with funders and community partners
    • Clear program and project pages helping Tyler County families find and access support
    • Online donation integration supporting the nonprofit’s long-term sustainability
    • Accessible, mobile-friendly design reaching more community members across Tyler County, WV

  • Wayne County Tire & Service | Forty-Plus Years of Trust, Now Online

    Wayne County Tire & Service | Forty-Plus Years of Trust, Now Online

    When You’ve Earned a Reputation for Forty Years, Your Website Should Say So.

    In Wayne County, when your car breaks down, there’s one name people have been calling since 1980. Wayne County Tire & Service has spent more than four decades building a reputation the right way — through honest work, certified technicians, and the kind of customer service that turns first-time visitors into regulars.

    They’ve won Best Auto Shop in Wayne County back-to-back. They’re the exclusive repair crew for Golden Aisles Speedway. They hold ASE certifications and Top 40 Under 40 ATI Awards recognition. And for years, none of that showed up when someone searched for them online.

    FDM fixed that.

    Industry: Automotive Service & Tire Sales
    Services: Website Design, Google Business Profile, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    A business that’s been trusted in a community for 40 years has an advantage most new businesses would kill for: a genuine reputation. But that reputation only does work if people can find it. In today’s market, customers search before they show up — and what they find online shapes whether they ever walk through the door.

    Wayne County Tire & Service needed a digital presence that matched their real-world standing. Their credentials — ASE certification, consecutive award wins, community recognition — deserved to be front and center for every customer who searched for auto service in Wayne County.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Translating 40+ years of community trust and earned awards into a compelling digital presence
    • Making it easy for customers to see services, hours, and special offers at a glance
    • Showcasing certifications, reviews, and recognition to attract new customers searching online

    The Solution

    FDM built a clean, professional website that puts Wayne County Tire & Service’s reputation to work online. From their award-winning recognition to their ASE certifications to their full range of services, every element of the site is designed to give potential customers every reason to choose them before they’ve even called.

    • Comprehensive service pages that cover everything they do. Tires, brakes, oil changes, transmission service, engine diagnostics, routine maintenance — every service is clearly described so customers arrive knowing what to expect.
    • Awards and credentials front and center. Best Auto Shop in Wayne County 2022 and 2023. ASE Certified. Top 40 Under 40 ATI Awards. These aren’t details to bury — they’re the first things a new customer needs to see.
    • Special offers and military discount prominently featured. Five percent off parts and labor for military members. Oil change savings for everyone. Making those easy to find is a small thing with a real impact.
    • Google Business Profile optimization that puts them on the map. When someone in Wayne County types ‘auto shop near me,’ Wayne County Tire & Service shows up — and shows up looking like the obvious choice.

    Since 1980, Wayne County Tire & Service has built their business on one thing: doing the work right and treating people honestly. It’s why they’re the exclusive repair crew for Golden Aisles Speedway. It’s why they’ve been voted Best Auto Shop two years running. It’s why customers who came in for a tire rotation in 1995 are still bringing their cars in today.

    FDM’s job was to take that story and tell it online — clearly enough that a newcomer to Wayne County could find them, see their credentials, and feel the same confidence a longtime local already does.

    The Results

    Wayne County Tire & Service now has a digital presence as reliable as their service. New customers can find them, see their awards, understand their services, and reach out — all before picking up the phone.

    Forty-plus years of trust, finally visible online.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional website showcasing 40+ years of expertise and community trust
    • Award-winning recognition prominently displayed to strengthen new customer confidence
    • Google Business Profile ensuring high visibility for local automotive searches
    • Clear service pages with special offers and military discount driving ongoing customer action

  • Anchored in Wellness | More Than Therapy, A Strong Community

    Anchored in Wellness | More Than Therapy, A Strong Community

    Two Missions. One Digital Home That Serves Them Both.

    Some organizations do one thing really well. Anchored in Wellness does two — and they do both without apology. On one side: a licensed private therapy practice offering individual, family, and play therapy, life coaching, and substance abuse services across Southeast Georgia. On the other: a 501(c)(3) nonprofit delivering case management, peer support, and community prevention programs in Jesup, Waycross, and Baxley.

    When they came to FDM, the challenge wasn’t finding a design they liked. It was building a digital home that could hold both missions — clearly enough that no visitor ever felt confused about where they were or what they needed.

    This is the story of a website that learned to carry a dual mission. And do it gracefully.

    Industry: Mental Health & Community Services
    Services: Website Design, Social Media Integration, Online Donations, Hosting & Maintenance, Google+ Directories
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    Mental health is personal — and the digital experience around it matters more than most businesses realize. When someone is searching for a therapist, or trying to figure out how to get a family member help, a confusing website can be the difference between reaching out and closing the tab.

    For Anchored in Wellness, there was an additional layer of complexity: two distinct organizations sharing one brand and one web address. The therapy practice serves paying clients. The nonprofit serves the broader community. Their audiences overlap, but they are not the same — and the website needed to serve both, clearly and confidently.

    The challenge wasn’t just design. It was building an information architecture that could hold real complexity without showing the seams.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Clearly presenting both the private therapy arm and the nonprofit community division without overwhelming visitors
    • Making services like therapy, life coaching, and substance abuse support easy to find and act on
    • Creating a professional, welcoming digital presence that reduced stigma around seeking mental health help

    The Solution

    FDM designed a website that gives each arm of Anchored in Wellness its own space — without building two separate sites. The architecture is deliberate: shared branding, shared navigation, distinct ownership of each section so visitors never wonder where they are.

    • A site for two organizations, built as one. Anchored in Wellness (therapy) and Anchored in Community (nonprofit) each have their own dedicated pages and calls to action — woven together under a single, professional brand identity.
    • Patient portal integration that removes every barrier to starting care. New patients can apply online, access resources, and connect to the secure portal directly from the website — no phone tag required.
    • Online donation capability built into the site. The nonprofit arm runs on community support. FDM made it easy for visitors to give from any page they’re already on.
    • A merchandise store that extends the mission. When your brand stands for something, people want to represent it. The shop adds a community touchpoint while reinforcing what Anchored in Wellness is all about.

    Anchored in Wellness operates across Southeast Georgia — Jesup, Waycross, and Baxley — through both a licensed private practice and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization. Their private practice provides individual, family, and play therapy alongside life skills training and substance abuse counseling. Their nonprofit arm delivers case management, peer support, and community prevention programs for residents who need a different kind of help.

    FDM built a website that holds both missions cleanly. Shared branding, clear navigation, and smart architecture mean every visitor lands exactly where they need to be — and leaves knowing exactly what Anchored in Wellness can do for them.

    The Results

    What Anchored in Wellness has now is a digital presence that matches the depth and intentionality of their work. It doesn’t hide the complexity of what they do — it organizes it. Whether someone arrives looking for a therapist, a community resource, or a way to support the mission, the website takes them where they need to go.

    That’s the point. That’s always been the point.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Clean, organized site serving two distinct audiences without confusion or overlap
    • Patient portal and application integration making it easier for people to start the journey toward care
    • Online donation system supporting the nonprofit mission directly through the website
    • Professional, welcoming design that reduces stigma and opens the door to help

  • Wayne County Clerk of Court | Community Access Made Easy

    Wayne County Clerk of Court | Community Access Made Easy

    A Relationship Built on Trust — and a Website That Proves It

    Some clients come to us for a website. The Wayne County Clerk of Court came to us for a partner. Over a decade ago, we built their first site from the ground up. Since then we’ve grown alongside them… redesigning, modernizing, and maintaining their digital presence through six major updates as the needs of Wayne County’s citizens evolved.

    This isn’t a story about a single project. It’s a story about what happens when you build something right and never stop improving it.

    Industry: Local Government
    Services: Website Redesign, Accessibility Optimization, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    A government office website has one job: help citizens find what they need quickly and without frustration. Forms, contact information, announcements, court schedules… it all needs to be immediately accessible to everyone, regardless of what device they’re using or how comfortable they are with technology.

    As digital standards evolved — mobile usability, accessibility compliance, page speed — the Clerk’s office needed a trusted partner who understood their history and could modernize without disrupting the experience residents already relied on.

    The challenge wasn’t starting over. It was knowing exactly what to keep, what to improve, and what to leave alone.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Improving readability across devices
    • Streamlining navigation to help citizens find key information faster
    • Maintaining the familiar structure trusted by residents

    The Solution

    Because we built the original site and have maintained it continuously, we knew the Clerk’s office inside and out… their content, their users, their workflow. That institutional knowledge meant no onboarding, no learning curve, and no unnecessary risk.

    Each redesign has focused on three things:

    1. Citizens first. Every navigation decision, every layout change, every content update has been made with one question in mind: can a Wayne County resident find what they need in under 60 seconds?
    2. Mobile compatibility at every stage. From desktop-first in 2013 to fully responsive today, we’ve kept the site ahead of how people actually browse — and right now that’s overwhelmingly on their phones.
    3. A backend the staff can actually use. The Clerk’s office manages their own content day to day. We built and rebuilt the backend to make that easy, even as the front end grew more sophisticated.

    The Evolution

    Technology and accessibility standards never stop evolving — and neither should your website. FDM’s long-term relationship with the Wayne County Clerk of Court shows that durability doesn’t mean stagnation; it means building a strong foundation and adapting thoughtfully over time.

    Wayne County Website Evolution
    2013: Original site launched by Web Electronics — simple, static, desktop-first.
    2017: First redesign — more images, expanded navigation, user focus.
    2020: Responsive design and modernization — built for how citizens actually browse.
    2022: UI polish and content enhancements — cleaner layout, better structure.
    2024: UX refinements, updated visual branding, smoother interaction.
    Today: Continuous hosting, performance tuning, and content support by FDM.

    Coming Soon! A redesign with ADA Readiness at the center of the build.

    The Results

    Thirteen years of uninterrupted service. Zero migrations to another provider. A site that has grown with the office rather than being replaced by a stranger every few years.

    For a government office, that continuity matters. Citizens know where to go. Staff know how to manage it. And when something needs to change, there’s a team that already knows the history.

    That’s not a small thing. That’s the whole thing.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Faster load times and mobile optimization
    • Streamlined backend management for Clerk’s office staff
    • Enhanced accessibility for all citizens
    • Continued uptime and reliability built on FDM’s proven hosting and support

  • Wayne Probate Court | Vital Records. Clear Access. Zero Confusion.

    Wayne Probate Court | Vital Records. Clear Access. Zero Confusion.

    When Life’s Most Important Moments Need Clear Direction

    People don’t visit the probate court when things are easy. They come for marriage licenses before a wedding, death certificates after a loss, and guardianship filings when a family is navigating something complicated. These are the moments that matter — and the last thing anyone needs in those moments is a confusing website.

    Wayne County Probate Court understood that. When they came to FDM, they weren’t looking for a flashy redesign. They were looking for a website that could do its job quietly and well — so that every Wayne County resident who needed them could find them.

    That’s exactly what we built.

    Industry: Local Government
    Services: Website Design, Document Management, Accessibility, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 15 Years


    The Challenge

    A government office website has one job: help people find what they need quickly and without frustration. Forms, fees, contact information, office hours — it all needs to be immediately accessible, on every device, to residents of every age and every level of digital comfort.

    For the probate court, that means handling a wide variety of services under one roof: birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, weapons carry permits, guardianship filings, estate documents. Each service comes with its own forms, its own fees, and its own process. Getting that organized in a way that felt clear — not overwhelming — was the design challenge at the center of this build.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Making critical services like vital records, marriage licenses, and weapons carry licenses instantly findable
    • Providing downloadable forms and clear fee information to reduce unnecessary office visits
    • Creating a professional, authoritative presence that builds public trust in county government

    The Solution

    FDM designed a clean, professional government website built around a single principle: citizens should never have to work hard to find basic information. From a rotating service carousel to downloadable forms and YouTube-embedded explainer videos, every detail was built with the public in mind.

    • A rotating homepage carousel that puts every service front and center. Birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, weapons carry permits, guardianships — visitors see exactly what the court does the moment they land on the page.
    • A comprehensive forms and document library. Every downloadable form, fee schedule, and definition of terms is organized and immediately accessible. No more calling the office to ask what paperwork to bring.
    • Staff and judge bios that humanize the office. Judge Hope S. Cunningham and every clerk are introduced and easily accessible with integrated phone and email contact buttons.

    Probate court work touches the most significant paperwork of a person’s life — the documents that mark beginnings, endings, and the moments in between. FDM built this website to honor that weight. Every section is organized to reduce confusion and unnecessary back-and-forth, so staff can focus on the people standing at the counter instead of answering the same phone questions over and over.

    The result is a website that serves residents before they ever walk through the door — and that continues to serve them even when the office is closed.

    The Results

    Wayne Probate Court now has a digital presence worthy of the office. Professional, well-organized, and built for the public — it delivers better service to residents while reducing the administrative burden on staff.

    For a government office, that kind of efficiency isn’t just convenient. It’s the point.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Clear, service-focused homepage reducing confusion for residents seeking vital records and licenses
    • Comprehensive downloadable forms library reducing unnecessary in-person inquiries
    • Professional, trusted online presence representing Wayne County government with dignity

  • Signatronics | Just Better Together

    Signatronics | Just Better Together

    Every Sign Tells a Story. So Does Digital Marketing.

    Signatronics builds signs that get noticed. Watchfire LED digital displays that stop traffic. Custom indoor signs that define a brand. Monument signs, foamcore wall panels, price watchers for gas stations and retail — a full range of signage solutions for businesses, churches, schools, and government clients alike.

    But a sign company’s website needs to do exactly what their signs do: attract attention, communicate quality, and drive action.

    Their old web presence wasn’t doing any of that. FDM changed the equation.

    Industry: Signage & Digital Sign Manufacturing
    Services: Website Design, Online Directories, Digital Marketing, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 25 Years


    The Challenge

    Signage is an inherently visual business. Clients don’t want to read about what Signatronics can do — they want to see it. And they want to see it in context: on a church marquee, above a retail entrance, in front of a government building.

    Signatronics had a substantial portfolio and years of diverse project experience. The problem was none of it was being communicated digitally. A potential client searching for a sign company in South Georgia couldn’t see the work, couldn’t explore product options, and had no obvious way to start a conversation.

    The website needed to become the portfolio — and the portfolio needed to become the sales team.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Showcasing a large and diverse portfolio of completed projects in a compelling, visual way
    • Clearly presenting product lines and services to attract leads from businesses, churches, and government clients
    • Converting website visitors into inquiries with effective, clear calls to action

    The Solution

    FDM built a portfolio-driven website for Signatronics where the work speaks first. Visitors can browse recent installations by project type, explore every product line, and request a quote — all without picking up the phone.

    • A project portfolio gallery that does the selling. 15+ recent installations are showcased by project type and client — churches, schools, businesses, government entities — giving prospective clients an immediate sense of Signatronics’ range and quality.
    • Clear product category pages for every sign type. Watchfire LED digital signs. Indoor and outdoor standard signs. Foamcore wall panels and monument signs. Price watchers for retail. Every product has its own page with descriptions and examples.
    • ‘Ask Us!’ and ‘Need a Sign?’ calls to action throughout the site. Browsing visitors have a clear path to becoming inquiries at every point in their experience — no dead ends, no confusion about what to do next.
    • An educational resources section. Helping clients make informed decisions builds trust. Signatronics’ resources section gives potential buyers the context they need to choose confidently.

    From government buildings to local churches to retail stores and healthcare facilities, Signatronics has built signs for nearly every type of client in South Georgia. Each installation is a case study in what the right sign can do for a business or organization — and every one of them now lives on the website.

    FDM designed a site that tells the Signatronics story visually, because that’s the only way this story should be told. When a potential client sees a digital LED sign they recognize from across town, listed right there in the portfolio with their name on it — that’s when the conversation starts.

    The Results

    Signatronics now has a website that works as hard as their signs do. It attracts leads, showcases expertise, and gives every visitor a clear path to getting the sign they need.

    The signs get the attention. The online presence closes the deal.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional web presence that matches the quality and craftsmanship of Signatronics’ physical products
    • Comprehensive portfolio gallery turning completed projects into ongoing lead generation tools
    • Clear listings in business directories making it easy to find updated an accurate information
    • Informative and storytelling social media campaigns to drive conversations

  • Family Tradition Steakhouse & Buffet | 30 Years of Great Meals, Now Easier to Find

    Family Tradition Steakhouse & Buffet | 30 Years of Great Meals, Now Easier to Find

    Still the Local Favorite After Thirty Years. Now with a Website to Prove It.

    Family Tradition Steakhouse has been serving Jesup since before most of their regular customers were born. Thirty-plus years. Twenty-five years at the same Sunset Boulevard address. Hand-cut steaks, an expansive buffet, a legendary seafood Friday, and a team of nearly sixty people who show up every day to feed the community they’re part of.

    That kind of history is its own best marketing. But only if people can find it.

    FDM made sure they could.

    Industry: Local Government
    Services: Website Redesign, Google Business Profile, Social Media Integration, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 17 Years


    The Challenge

    Restaurants have always lived on word of mouth advertising. Family Tradition built thirty years on it. But in today’s market, word of mouth travels online first — and when someone new to Jesup searches for a steakhouse, or when a local family is deciding where to go for a special occasion, the first thing they do is look it up.

    Family Tradition needed a digital presence that could do justice to a three-decade reputation. Not a basic listing. A real website — with food photography that makes people hungry, a menu that answers every question before they call, and Google reviews front and center to back up everything the restaurant is already known for.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Making the full menu — steaks, buffet, seafood Friday — accessible and appetizing online
    • Translating 30+ years of community reputation into digital trust signals for first-time visitors
    • Supporting Google Business reviews and social media engagement to drive ongoing local discovery

    The Solution

    FDM built a restaurant website for Family Tradition that’s as warm and welcoming as the dining room itself — with food photography that earns the visit, a menu that covers every question, and the history of the restaurant as a trust-building story for anyone discovering it for the first time.

    • A full menu that covers every offering, organized for easy navigation. Steaks — ribeye, sirloin, chop sirloin, beef tips. The full buffet with hot bar, soup, and salad. Lunch, dinner, and the signature seafood Friday. All clearly presented, all in one place.
    • Food photography that does the work before the first visit. A homepage image carousel showcasing the steaks, the salad bar, the beef tips with peppers and onions. You eat with your eyes first — FDM made sure the website feeds that impulse.
    • An About section that makes the history part of the pitch. Thirty-plus years in business. Twenty-five years at 997 Sunset Boulevard. A team of nearly sixty people. That backstory is a trust signal and the website makes sure first-time visitors see it.
    • Google Business Profile and social media integration that captures reviews. Real people saying real things about Family Tradition and we integrated that directly into the site so prospective diners can see them without leaving the page.

    There are restaurants in Jesup that have come and gone. Family Tradition has been at the same address for twenty-five years. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen without doing something right again and again, meal after meal, year after year.

    FDM built a website that honors that consistency. Because a restaurant that’s been a community institution for thirty years deserves a digital presence that treats the story with the same care the kitchen treats a ribeye.

    The Results

    Family Tradition Steakhouse now has a digital presence that matches their long-standing reputation. New diners can find them, explore the menu, and arrive with the right expectations. Regulars find what they’re looking for before they call.

    Thirty years of great food. Finally easy to find.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Professional food photography and menu pages driving discovery and appetite with online visitors
    • Heritage storytelling reinforcing 30 years of community trust for first-time visitors
    • Google Business Profile integration showcasing reviews that drive new visits
    • Social media integration keeping the restaurant connected to the Jesup community online

    T-Ball. Basketball. Soccer. Softball. Football. Swimming. Golf. Tennis. Track. Cheerleading. And Buddy Ball adaptive sports for kids of every ability. Wayne County Parks and Recreation runs programs for children as young as four across more than a dozen facilities throughout the county.

    That’s a lot to manage. And before FDM, a lot of it was still being managed by phone, paper, and in-person registration.

    We built them a website that handles the scale.

    The Challenge

    Running a county-wide recreation department means operating in multiple places at once — different sports, different age groups, different facilities, different seasons. For the staff at Wayne County Rec, keeping registration manageable while also keeping hundreds of parents informed was a constant logistical challenge.

    Parents, meanwhile, needed a better experience. They wanted to sign up their kids online, find out what programs were available for their age group, and know which facility to show up to — without calling the office to ask.

    The website needed to solve both problems at the same time.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Building an online registration system that makes signing up for youth sports simple and fast for families
    • Organizing 13+ facilities and 10+ sports programs in a way that’s easy to navigate
    • Creating a central hub for sports schedules, announcements, and seasonal program information

    The Solution

    FDM built a recreation website designed for volume — one that gives the department the tools to manage programs at scale while giving families the smooth, modern experience they expect.

    • Full online registration with shopping cart functionality. Sign-ups happen online now. No lines, no paperwork, no waiting for office hours. Families register at 10 PM on a Tuesday if that’s when it works for them.
    • Facility directory with photos and details for all 13+ recreation sites. From Gardi Recreation Center to the Soccer Complex to Oglethorpe Landing, every facility has its own page — with what’s there, what programs are offered, and how to find it.
    • Individual sport program pages for every offering. T-Ball, Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Track, Tennis, Golf, Swimming, and Buddy Ball adaptive sports — each with age requirements, registration info, and season details.
    • Downloadable guides and sponsorship pages. The full Recreation Guide, the GRPA Athletic Manual, and sponsorship opportunities are all available in one place for coaches, parents, and community partners.

    Wayne County Parks and Recreation doesn’t just run sports leagues — they build community. Their programs connect kids across the county, introduce families to each other, and create the kind of local athletic culture that shows up later in school programs, community pride, and memories that last decades.

    FDM built a website that supports that mission at every touchpoint. Whether a parent is registering their four-year-old for T-Ball at midnight or a coach is looking for the athletic manual before a season starts, the site is ready.

    The Results

    Wayne County Recreation now has a digital home that matches the scale and energy of their programs. Registration is easier. Communication is clearer. And the department can spend more time on the field and less time on the phone.

    That’s a win for everyone in Wayne County.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Streamlined online registration reducing friction for families signing up for youth sports
    • Clear facility directory helping residents find and use county parks and recreation sites
    • Comprehensive sport program pages supporting every athletic offering in the county
    • Central hub for schedules, guides, and announcements keeping the community informed

    Wayne County Recovery Coalition | Changing the Story Around Recovery One Post at a Time

    Prevention Isn’t a Campaign. It’s a Commitment, And This Website Reflects That.

    The Wayne County Recovery Coalition doesn’t show up for a month and disappear. They show up every month — for National Recovery Month, for Mental Health Awareness Month, for every health observance on the calendar — with content, resources, and community engagement that keeps prevention top of mind across Wayne County all year long.

    That kind of consistency takes infrastructure. It takes a platform built for ongoing content, not just a static page.

    FDM built them exactly that.

    Industry: Community Health / Nonprofit
    Services: Website Design, Content Strategy, Blog Development, Hosting & Maintenance
    Partnership Length: 5 Years


    The Challenge

    Substance misuse prevention is a long game. You don’t change community behavior with a single event or a single message. You change it through consistent presence — educational content, community connections, and a platform that keeps the conversation alive even when no one is in crisis.

    The Wayne County Recovery Coalition needed a website that could sustain that kind of presence. Not a digital brochure, but a living content platform — one that could hold blog posts, resources, event announcements, webinar promotions, and partner highlights without becoming cluttered or hard to navigate.

    Founded in 2019 and supported by the Drug Free Communities Support Program, the WCRC had the mission and the drive. They needed the digital infrastructure to match.

    Key areas of focus:

    • Building a content platform that could sustain ongoing prevention education and monthly awareness campaigns
    • Making recovery resources easy to find for community members who need them
    • Creating a credible, welcoming presence that reduced stigma around recovery and mental health

    The Solution

    FDM built a resource-rich website with a content strategy at its core. The blog system, resource library, events calendar, and webinar tools give the WCRC everything they need to keep showing up — month after month, awareness campaign after awareness campaign.

    • A full blog platform with organized content categories. Early Recovery, Long Term Recovery, Prevention, Let’s Talk — each category supports a different audience and a different kind of conversation, making it easy for visitors to find what resonates with them.
    • A resource library built for community education. Downloadable infographics, stigma-reduction materials, and educational resources give community members and coalition partners tools they can actually use in the real world.
    • Events calendar and webinar promotion tools. Monthly coalition meetings, upcoming webinars, and community events are organized and promoted in one place — making it easy for residents and partners to stay engaged.
    • Partner highlights that celebrate the coalition. Sector representatives, community partners, and member organizations each have a presence on the site — because this work only happens because of the people doing it.

    The Wayne County Recovery Coalition was founded in 2019 with a clear mission: change the story around substance misuse in Wayne County. Through the Drug Free Communities Support Program, they’ve built a coalition of community partners, sector representatives, and dedicated coordinators who show up every month — in meetings, in community events, and online.

    FDM built a website that shows up the same way. The content strategy is designed around national health observances so the WCRC always has a relevant message to share. The resource library grows over time. The blog builds a searchable archive of prevention education. It’s not just a website — it’s a tool for sustained community change.

    The Results

    The WCRC now has a digital presence that works as hard as they do. It educates, connects, and mobilizes the Wayne County community around recovery and prevention — month after month, whether anyone is looking at it or not.

    That consistency is the whole strategy. And the website makes it possible.

    Key outcomes include:

    • Content platform enabling monthly awareness campaigns aligned with national health observances
    • Resource library giving community members and partners instant access to prevention and recovery materials
    • Events and webinar tools driving active participation in coalition activities and meetings
    • Professional digital presence supporting the WCRC’s credibility as Wayne County’s go-to recovery resource
