Why Build a Custom Website for Your Dealership?

At the core of our service, we offer strategic consulting and insights from our Managing Partner, Chris Wielinski, who is renowned in the industry for pioneering the functionality and design of our custom automotive websites. Chris's expertise and visionary approach play a pivotal role in shaping the unique and innovative websites we create. Complementing his guidance, our extensive discovery process is designed to delve deep into every facet of your website's requirements, ensuring that each element is precisely aligned with your dealership's goals. This thorough approach includes drafting detailed functionality specifications, creating an in-depth sitemap, developing a working prototype, and conducting a strategic competitive analysis. These steps are crucial in crafting a website that not only stands out in the competitive automotive market but also provides a user experience tailored to your specific audience, ultimately driving your business success.

CUSTOM DESIGN

One of the most significant challenges faced with current automotive website providers lies in their design limitations. Many dealerships find themselves constrained by cookie-cutter templates that fail to accommodate their specific design requirements and aesthetic aspirations. This is where our custom approach sets us apart. We recognize that each dealership is unique, with distinct branding needs and goals. Our commitment to custom design means that every aspect of your website is tailored to fit these individual requirements. From the overall layout to the smallest detail, we ensure that your website not only aligns with but also enhances your dealership's identity and objectives. By breaking free from the one-size-fits-all mold, we empower your dealership with a website that is not just a digital platform, but a true extension of your brand's personality and a tool to achieve your specific goals.

CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT

Every facet of our websites is meticulously custom-coded to meet the specific functional needs of your automotive business. By managing the entire development process in-house, we significantly reduce the risk of errors and elevate the quality of the final product. This approach stems from our team's advanced coding skills, setting our custom automotive websites apart as the best of the best in the industry. We firmly believe that the development phase is pivotal in determining the success or failure of a website. It's a clear case of getting what you pay for – invest in superior development, and you receive a website that not only meets but exceeds expectations, effectively embodying the high standards and dynamic nature of your automotive brand.

INTEGRATIONS

Custom integrations form the core of our approach to automotive website design, recognizing the crucial role that third-party software plays in the modern automotive business. From inventory management systems and customer relationship management (CRM) tools to cutting-edge AI-powered analytics and Google Analytics 4, we understand the diversity and complexity of the software that drives your operations. Our expertise lies in seamlessly integrating these varied web-based applications with your website. This integration ensures that your website is not just a digital showcase of your inventory but a fully interconnected hub that enhances and simplifies your business processes. By enabling these sophisticated integrations, we set our automotive websites apart, ensuring they are as dynamic and efficient as the vehicles they represent.

CUSTOM PORTAL

Our skilled team is adept at constructing custom portals that serve as robust tools for managing inventory, leads, and parts, tailored specifically to the unique needs of your automotive business. These portals can either extend the capabilities of your existing inventory management system or function independently, offering a high degree of flexibility and integration. The design and functionality of each portal are meticulously crafted to align with your specific business processes, ensuring a seamless and efficient operational flow. By focusing on customization, we ensure that these portals are not just digital tools, but strategic assets that enhance your business's operational efficiency. This approach is key to creating significant efficiencies that drive a higher return on investment (ROI). Our commitment lies in delivering a portal that is not just a piece of technology, but a critical component of your business strategy, optimized to support and amplify your dealership's success.
