4 Seasons Resort

Sometimes a website is more than just a website. It’s an asset.

After 20 years of resort ownership, Jar and Lori Welter wanted to replace their previous website to increase revenue and attract potential buyers to the 4 Seasons Resort in Hayward, Wisconsin. They knew a well-designed, mobile-friendly website would be an asset to a new owner.

Promoting fun family experiences, the site’s heartfelt, to-the-point copy describes the friendly atmosphere that keeps visitors coming back year after year. Sold in August of 2018, the site will be updated soon for new owners, with Jar and Lori making sure the transition goes smoothly.

The mobile-friendly design makes it easy to quickly navigate from the lakeshore cabins, to the motel suites, to the on-site bar and restaurant. With lots of TripAdvisor testimonials and photos of big fish, the site lures guests in to book that perfect lake getaway at 4 Seasons Resort.

Includes four ‘seasonal’ pattern graphics, copywriting and account management by Chuck and Carol Abrams of Virtual Creative.
