Jesup Movies | Two Unique Theaters, One Website That Brings Them Together
A Modern Cinema and Georgia’s Oldest Drive-In — Under One Digital Roof.

The Historic Strand Dinner Cinema in downtown Jesup offers premium recliner seating, a full food and beverage menu ordered from your seat via mobile app, and the kind of modern moviegoing experience that most small Georgia cities don’t have. Three blocks away in spirit — and 76 years away in history — The Jesup Drive-In has been running since 1948. Restored in 2011, it holds the distinction of being Georgia’s oldest operating drive-in theater.

Two completely different experiences. Two different ticketing systems. Two different menus. One brand. One website.

Getting those to coexist cleanly — without either venue losing what makes it special — was the challenge FDM built toward.

Industry: Entertainment / Cinema
Services: Website Design, Ticketing Integration, Online Food Ordering, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 6 Years

The Challenge

Multi-venue entertainment businesses face a specific digital challenge: how do you give each venue its own identity without building two completely separate sites — and without making visitors feel like they’ve landed on the wrong page?

For Jesup Movies, the stakes were higher than usual. The Strand is a cashless, modern dining experience with Fandango and Veezi ticketing. The Drive-In is a nostalgic, family-friendly outdoor venue with ChowNow food ordering and a completely different vibe. A single website needed to represent both — and make it easy for visitors to find their way to the experience they were looking for.

Key areas of focus:
- Building separate, distinct experiences for each venue while keeping them under one cohesive brand
- Integrating ticketing systems (Fandango/Veezi) and online food ordering (ChowNow) into a seamless customer experience
- Positioning both venues as must-visit community entertainment destinations in Jesup
The Solution

FDM built a dual-venue website for Jesup Movies where each theater has its own identity, its own pages, and its own audience — presented together under a single brand that does justice to both.
- Dedicated pages for each venue with their own showtimes, menus, and ticketing. The Historic Strand and The Jesup Drive-In each get their own experience on the site — because they’re genuinely different experiences, and visitors deserve to land in the right place.
- Fandango, Veezi, and ChowNow integration that makes the customer journey seamless. Tickets for the Strand. Food ordering for the Drive-In. Each integration is built into the flow of the relevant venue page — not bolted on as an afterthought.
- Full menu pages for both venues. The Strand’s full food and beverage menu. The Drive-In’s concessions and ordering options. Accessible, appetizing, and easy to navigate before visitors even arrive.
- School group and private event pages. Two unique venues mean two unique event opportunities. FDM built dedicated pages for group bookings and private events at both theaters — opening revenue channels beyond regular ticket sales.
A New Experience and a Historic One

The Historic Strand Dinner Cinema is a premium dining and movie experience in a beautiful historic building — the kind of night out that doesn’t usually exist in a city Jesup’s size. The Jesup Drive-In is living history: Georgia’s oldest operating drive-in, restored and running since 2011, serving up nostalgia alongside the latest releases.

FDM built a website worthy of both. Because Jesup has something genuinely special — two completely different ways to go to the movies — and the website makes sure anyone searching online can find both of them.
The Results

Jesup Movies now has a digital home that does justice to both venues. Customers can buy tickets, order food, and plan their visit — all from a website that’s as polished as the Strand’s interior and as charming as the Drive-In’s history.

Two theaters. One website. Zero compromise.

Key outcomes include:
- Dual-venue website cleanly presenting both cinema experiences under one cohesive brand
- Integrated ticketing and food ordering systems creating a seamless end-to-end customer journey
- Professional presentation positioning Jesup Movies as a destination entertainment experience
- School group and private event pages opening new revenue channels for both venues

McLeod Gardens | Thirty Years of Rare Blooms, Now Available Online
A Family’s Passion for Daylilies — Brought to Collectors Everywhere.

For over thirty years, Randy McLeod has been hybridizing daylilies the way some people write poetry — carefully, patiently, and with an eye for something that’s never been seen before. Together with wife Karen, daughters Lindsey and Amelia, and more than three decades of trial and observation, McLeod Gardens has developed a catalog of cultivars that daylily enthusiasts seek out across Georgia, Florida, and beyond.

Names like ‘Midnight on Halloween,’ ‘Karen Knows Best,’ ‘Drink the Stars,’ and ‘Built like Bigfoot’ don’t come from a spreadsheet. They come from a family that treats hybridizing as a craft.

FDM built them a digital home worthy of that craft.

Industry: Specialty Horticulture / Daylily Breeding
Services: Website Design, E-Commerce Integration, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 3 Years

The Challenge

The daylily enthusiast community is passionate, knowledgeable, and nationwide — but you’d never know it from a local word-of-mouth business. McLeod Gardens had been building their reputation the old-fashioned way: at regional shows, through the American Daylily Society, and through the Ogeechee Daylily Society network. Their work was celebrated. Their reach was limited.

What they needed was an e-commerce platform that could put their catalog in front of collectors anywhere — not just the people who’d met Randy at a show in Central Georgia.

Key areas of focus:
- Building an e-commerce-ready catalog that showcases daylily cultivars with professional, appealing presentation
- Telling the McLeod family story in a way that connects with enthusiast collectors who value heritage and expertise
- Creating a clean, navigable platform for seasonal ordering and annual new variety introductions
The Solution

FDM built an e-commerce website for McLeod Gardens that presents thirty years of hybridizing work the way it deserves to be seen — organized by collection, updated annually with new introductions, and backed by a clear ordering system that makes it easy to buy.
- A full e-commerce catalog organized the way collectors think. Collections, annual introductions, and for-sale listings each have their own section — with individual variety pages showing photos, descriptions, and pricing. Enthusiasts can browse, wishlist, and buy with confidence.
- Annual introductions that keep collectors coming back. New cultivars are added each season and highlighted prominently — because the daylily community follows new introductions the way others follow new albums. The site makes it easy to find what’s new.
- Ordering and shipping information that sets expectations upfront. Seasonal availability, shipping windows, and ordering guidance are all clearly laid out — reducing support questions and improving the customer experience.
- A family story that connects with enthusiast buyers. The About page introduces Randy, Karen, Lindsey, and Amelia — the team behind the catalog — along with thirty years of show participation and hybridizing history. Collectors buy from people they trust.
A Family Passion, Shared Nationally

Randy McLeod has been a member of the American Daylily Society and the Ogeechee Daylily Society for decades. He and his family exhibit at shows throughout South and Central Georgia and North and Central Florida — which means their reputation in the enthusiast community is real, earned, and deep.

FDM gave that reputation a digital home. Now when a collector in Florida or a gardener in North Carolina discovers McLeod Gardens online, they find a professional, beautifully organized catalog backed by the kind of thirty-year story that tells itself.
The Results

McLeod Gardens now reaches daylily enthusiasts and collectors online — with a professional e-commerce platform that showcases the full depth of their thirty years of breeding work to anyone who finds them.

Thirty years of rare blooms. Now available anywhere.

Key outcomes include:
- E-commerce catalog enabling online sales to daylily collectors across the region and beyond
- Annual introductions page driving repeat visits and building anticipation among loyal customers
- Professional web presence elevating a beloved local operation to national visibility
- Brand storytelling that resonates with the passionate daylily enthusiast community

Pathway CNC | Precision Built, Professionally Presented
Industrial Precision Deserves a Website That Measures Up.

Pathway CNC operates machinery capable of cutting 4-inch steel plate with precision and fabricating intricate shapes in metal, acrylic, and wood. They have a large plasma cutter for heavy industrial work, a small plasma cutter for detail precision, and a CNC laser cutter for large-scale projects. The capabilities are real. The craftsmanship is serious.

But none of that matters to a potential client who can’t find you online.

FDM built them a website that matched the precision of the work itself.

Industry: CNC Machining & Custom Fabrication
Services: Website Design, Lead Generation, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 2 Years
The Challenge

The B2B fabrication market is competitive, and it’s driven by credibility. When a business owner or engineer is searching for a CNC shop, they’re not just looking for capability — they’re looking for confidence. They want to know the equipment is right for the job. They want to know the company is serious.

Pathway CNC had the equipment and the expertise. What they needed was a digital presence that communicated both, clearly and professionally, to the kind of clients who were already searching for exactly what Pathway CNC could deliver.

Key areas of focus:
- Building a professional B2B web presence that communicates Pathway CNC’s capabilities clearly and credibly
- Showcasing the full range of CNC equipment to help potential clients understand what’s possible
- Capturing leads through a custom inquiry form for sign and fabrication projects
The Solution

FDM built a clean, modern website for Pathway CNC that speaks directly to their B2B audience. Equipment is front and center with detailed capability descriptions, a custom sign call to action drives direct inquiries, and the professional design signals that Pathway CNC is a serious manufacturing partner.
- Equipment showcase pages for every machine in the shop. Large plasma cutter — up to 4-inch plate. Small plasma cutter for precision detail work. CNC laser cutter for metal, acrylic, and wood at scale. Each machine gets its own section with specs and capability descriptions.
- ‘Customize Your Sign’ — a direct path to custom project inquiries. For sign buyers looking for a fabrication partner, this CTA gives them an immediate action without requiring them to navigate deeper into the site.
- Contact and quote form for B2B lead capture. Whether it’s a fabrication project or a custom sign order, the inquiry form captures lead details cleanly and routes them to the Pathway CNC team.
- A clean, modern design that reflects the precision of the work. The site looks like what Pathway CNC makes — sharp, precise, and professional. That design alignment builds trust before a single conversation happens.
The Right Equipment, The Right Presence

Pathway CNC invested in serious industrial equipment — the kind that opens doors to clients in manufacturing, signage, construction, and beyond. A large plasma cutter capable of cutting 4-inch steel plate doesn’t just serve local sign shops; it positions Pathway CNC as a partner for industrial-scale fabrication across the region.

FDM built a website that communicates that positioning confidently. Because capability without visibility is just capacity sitting idle.
The Results

Pathway CNC launched with a professional digital presence that positions them credibly in the competitive B2B fabrication market. Potential clients can explore capabilities, request custom work, and engage with confidence.

The precision is in the work. The website makes sure the right people know about it.

Key outcomes include:
- Professional B2B website establishing credibility in the competitive CNC fabrication market
- Equipment showcase communicating full fabrication capacity to potential clients
- Lead generation system capturing custom sign and fabrication inquiries
- Clean, modern design that reflects the precision and quality of Pathway CNC’s work

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.

Industry: Nonprofit / Family & Community Services
Services: Website Design, Accessibility, Online Donations, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: New! 2025 Client
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.
Serving Tyler County from the Ground Up

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

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.
The Dual Mission

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
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 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.
More Than a Website — A Platform for Change

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

Harrison Real Estate | Since the 1950s. Still the Standard.
Seven Decades of Wayne County Real Estate — Brought Into the Digital Age

Harrison Real Estate Agency has been a trusted name in Jesup and Wayne County since the 1950s. There are residents who bought their first home through Harrison, insured it through their team, and are now helping their own kids search for homes — with Harrison. That kind of generational trust doesn’t happen by accident.

But in a market where every buyer starts online, legacy only goes so far if you can’t be found.

FDM built a digital presence that honors seven decades of service while serving today’s buyers exactly where they start: on a screen.

Industry: Real Estate & Property Services
Services: Website Design, IDX/MLS Integration, Hosting & Maintenance, Email
Partnership Length: 25 Years
The Challenge

Real estate websites need to do real work. They need a live MLS feed with advanced search. They need agent profiles that build trust before the first call. They need buyer and seller resources that position the agency as an expert guide, not just a listing service.

For an agency with Harrison’s history and depth — real estate, insurance, residential, commercial, land, rentals — the website also needed to represent the full scope of what they offer. Not a narrow focus. The whole picture.

Key areas of focus:
- Providing an IDX-powered property search that gives buyers access to the full Wayne County MLS
- Clearly presenting both real estate sales and insurance services offered by the agency
- Showcasing the agent team and building trust with buyers making significant financial decisions
The Solution

FDM built a full-featured real estate website for Harrison that honors their legacy and serves today’s online buyers — with IDX integration, agent profiles, and comprehensive service pages working together to deliver the experience the agency’s reputation demands.
- IDX property search across all listing types. Residential, commercial, land, and rental listings — all searchable from the Harrison website with the full Wayne County MLS database behind it. Buyers get the same database access they’d have on any major listing site, with the personal service only Harrison provides.
- Agent profiles with photos and direct contact. Kathy Anderson, Kyle P. Keith, Miki Woodard, and every member of the Harrison team are introduced by name and face — because in real estate, people buy from people they trust, and trust starts with knowing who you’re working with.
- Buyer and seller resource sections that build expertise. Step-by-step guides for buyers and sellers position Harrison as an experienced partner in the process — not just an agency waiting to take a commission.
- Insurance services as a core part of the agency story. Homeowners, auto, business, life, and financial services — clearly presented as part of Harrison’s comprehensive offering, so clients know from the first visit that this is a full-service partner.
Seven Decades of Wayne County Service

Harrison Real Estate Agency was founded in the 1950s. Broker David E. Keith and a team of experienced local agents have maintained that legacy through changing markets, changing technology, and changing client expectations. The integrated insurance arm — combining property sales with coverage options — makes Harrison a rare find in small-market real estate.

FDM built a website that tells that story — and makes it easy for a new generation of Wayne County buyers and sellers to find the agency that’s been there for their families for decades.
The Results

Harrison Real Estate Agency now has a modern digital presence that honors seven decades of community service and meets today’s buyers where they start their search.

Wayne County Family Connection | Resources for Our Residents in Need
The Community Hub Wayne County Needed — Now Fully Digital.

Wayne County Family Connection already knew how to bring people together. They’d been doing it for years — connecting residents to resources, coordinating with local nonprofits and government agencies, and making sure that when someone needed help, there was somewhere to point them.

What they needed was a website that could do the same thing.

Not a brochure. Not a static page with a phone number. A real digital hub — dynamic, accessible, and built to reflect the living, breathing work they do every day in Wayne County.

Industry: Nonprofit / Community Resource Organization
Services: Website Design, Online Donations, Accessibility, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 15 Years
The Challenge

Community resource organizations face a unique digital problem: their work changes constantly. Programs come and go. Events get added. New resources become available. An organization like Wayne County Family Connection can’t afford a website that goes stale.

At the same time, the people they serve aren’t always comfortable navigating complex websites. They need information fast — emergency resources, community programs, ways to get involved — and they need it to work on whatever device they’re holding.

The website had to be easy for staff to update and easy for residents to use. Those two things don’t always go together. FDM made them go together.

Key areas of focus:
- Creating an easy-to-navigate resource directory that residents can turn to in times of need
- Integrating a community calendar to keep Wayne County connected and informed
- Building in accessibility features so the site could serve every member of the community
The Solution

FDM built a community hub — not just a website. Every element of the design was built around one question: what does a Wayne County resident need, and how fast can they find it?
- A complete resource directory with emergency resources front and center. When someone is in crisis, they can’t afford to search. FDM organized the directory so the most critical resources are always within reach.
- An integrated community calendar. Events, programs, meetings — everything happening in and around Wayne County lives in one place, updated in real time.
- A live Facebook feed embedded on the homepage. The most current information shouldn’t live only on social media. FDM pulled it directly into the site, keeping content fresh without adding work for staff.
- Accessibility tools built in. Screen reader support, contrast options, keyboard navigation — because a community resource organization should be accessible to the entire community it serves.
The Community Hub

Wayne County Family Connection is the connective tissue of an entire county. They partner with nonprofits, local government, schools, and faith organizations to make sure no family falls through the cracks. Their executive director, Kristina DeLeGal, and her team are in the community every day — which means their website needs to keep up.

FDM’s website works the same way the organization does: as a digital center of gravity that pulls information together and makes it available to anyone who needs it, any time they need it. Whether a resident is looking for emergency resources at midnight or a community partner is planning an event, the site meets them where they are.
The Results

Wayne County Family Connection now has a digital presence as welcoming and resourceful as the work they do in person. Residents can find emergency help. They can donate. They can stay connected to what’s happening in their community. And they can do all of it from the same place, on any device.

That matters. Especially when it matters most.

Key outcomes include:
- Centralized resource hub making it easier for Wayne County residents to find help fast
- Accessible design ensuring the site serves every community member regardless of ability
- Active social media integration keeping content fresh without extra effort from staff
- Online donation functionality supporting the organization’s mission directly through the web

LIFE Living Independence for Everyone | Serving the Disability Community
For an Organization Built on Access, Accessibility Isn’t Optional.

LIFE — Living Independence for Everyone — is a Center for Independent Living serving people with disabilities across Southeast Georgia. Their work spans advocacy, peer support, independent living skills, assistive technology, nursing home transition, and more. They’ve earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, a Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid, and a 91% effectiveness score.

For an organization whose entire mission is inclusion and accessibility, having a website that doesn’t live up to those values wasn’t an option.

FDM built them one that does.

Industry: Nonprofit / Disability Services & Advocacy
Services: Website Design, Accessibility Readiness, Content Management, Hosting & Maintenance
Partnership Length: 6 Years
The Challenge

Centers for Independent Living are held to a different standard when it comes to accessibility — and rightly so. When your entire mission is serving people with disabilities, your website needs to be fully accessible to the people you serve. Screen reader compatible. High-contrast capable. Keyboard navigable. Fully functional for users who rely on assistive technology.

LIFE also needed a website that could communicate the complexity of their programming. Advocacy, independent living skills, peer support, assistive technology, nursing home transition services, emergency planning — each service deserves clear explanation. Each audience deserves a direct path to what they need.

Key areas of focus:
- Building a website that meets or exceeds accessibility standards — practicing what they preach for the disability community
- Clearly presenting a complex catalog of services including advocacy, skills training, peer support, and assistive technology
- Creating a credible, professional presence that supports fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and community trust
The Solution

FDM built an accessibility-forward website for LIFE that reflects the organization’s values in every detail — from the architecture to the interface to the content strategy. Every decision was made with LIFE’s clients in mind.
- Full accessibility compliance built into every layer of the site. Screen reader support, contrast controls, font resizing, keyboard navigation — not as add-ons, but as foundational design decisions. Because LIFE’s website should be accessible to every person LIFE serves.
- Comprehensive service pages that make the full scope of LIFE’s work visible. Advocacy. Independent living skills. Peer support. Assistive technology. Nursing home transition. Emergency planning. Each service has its own dedicated page with clear, accessible explanations.
- A resource directory connecting clients to additional support. LIFE’s clients often need more than one organization can provide. The resource directory connects them to additional community and statewide programs — without requiring staff to handle every referral by phone.
Earned Recognition, Built-In Values

LIFE has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. A Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid. A 91% effectiveness score. These aren’t vanity metrics — they’re the result of decades of genuine, documented service to the disability community across Savannah and Screven, Georgia.

FDM built a website that reflects that standard at every touchpoint. Accessible. Transparent. Professionally organized. Worthy of the trust the disability community places in this organization every day.
The Results

LIFE now has a website that’s as inclusive as the organization itself — fully accessible, clearly organized, and a credible digital home for one of Southeast Georgia’s most trusted nonprofits.

Because an organization with LIFE’s record deserves a website that lives up to it.

Key outcomes include:
- Full accessibility compliance ensuring the website serves every member of LIFE’s client community
- Comprehensive service pages making it easy for people with disabilities to find the support they need
- Professional nonprofit presence supporting fundraising efforts and community partnerships
