    Creative that gets results

    Having worked both sides of the desk in marketing (first in creative firms doing the work and later as a marketing director hiring creative firms), I understand the importance of both perspectives. I don’t believe in creativity purely for creativity’s sake. But creativity is vitally important in achieving business objectives.


    Art & craft combined

    dan weerts creative provides a convergence of creativity and effectiveness for discerning small businesses and non-profits looking to improve their web presence or get professional commercial, event, or headshot photography.


    My day job is flexible, and I have lots of vacation time, some of which I dedicate to serving a select group of clients each year. However, given that this is a side business where I mostly work on evenings and weekends, I am not able to accommodate rush jobs with insane deadlines. But if you are flexible, I can assure you, I am worth the wait.

    quotes

    Brad Rocke, Agri-Management Solutions

    Dan was top notch and professional. He came to each meeting prepared with a list of items that needed to be accomplished. Dan rebranded our business and re-did our website. He was able to capture us in action to make our company and website come alive with incredible photography.

    Mark Waibel, Solid Rock Ag Solutions

    We had Dan recreate our website recently. Dan did a phenomenal job and we have already substantially improved our web traffic. Dan was very professional and took the time to make sure everything was done very well. He is a great communicator and sticks to a schedule. He helped us think through the vision of how we wanted everything to look and made it a reality. We would highly recommend him again to anyone else needing help with website design or photography.

    John Sauder, CDS

    Dan developed a logo, business cards, and a website for my consulting company. He holds himself to the highest standards, and created a superior product. He also took the time to truly understand my business before developing his recommendations.

    Jon Cripe, Town of Remington

    Very professional and listens to your wants and needs. Always delivers. Dan is great to work with.

    Jeremiah Psinas, Restmor

    Dan came highly recommended to me to help with our website redesign, and now I can see exactly why. Dan asked insightful questions and showed genuine interest in understanding our mission and what makes our facility brand stand out. He was able to use our team’s input and perspective to drive the goal and vision of the website but did all the heavy lifting and showcased his creativity to put it all together and bring it to life. I couldn’t be happier with how the project turned out, and I would highly recommend Dan and the amazing service he provides.

    Austin Schneider, Greg Schneider Electric

    Had a great experience working with Dan Weerts on our new website. His ability to handle every aspect from photography to SEO simplified the process for us as a business.


    I would highly recommend Dan to anyone contemplating building a website for their business. 

    Kenny & Sophie Graf, Remington Tree Service

    We were very happy with our experience working with Dan while he revamped our website. He met with us and talked through the purpose of our business, what we do, and how our website can benefit our business. He was timely in getting the photography done and was very accommodating by working the photography in with our schedule. He did a great job at taking our words, experiences, and goals and laying it out on our website. He took our "average" website and made it professional and personal.

    Sara DeYoung, RWCDC

    Dan was great to work with and went above and beyond in the redesign of our website, remingtonwolcott.org and overall brand. Prior to our initial meeting, I was just hoping to get a website that was responsive and maybe some refreshed images, but Dan asked some really critical questions. We realized that to truly engage our audience we needed to hone our message and better target our audience. He helped us do that. He also understood what we did and did not need. He is a fantastic person to work with and makes valuable contributions to any project. I highly recommend him.

    Jennifer Barlow, FTC Enterprises

    Dan came to our site and interviewed my husband and I to write the content for our website. Dan had done his homework. He was very up to speed on our industry and what was going on. My husband and I were very impressed. Dan also took pictures at our site. Dan is a very caring and trustworthy. I would recommend Dan to anyone who needs a new website or work done on their existing website.

    Casey Williams, Key Payroll

    I originally hired Dan to redo my company logo, business cards, and letterhead. I love the new look, clean looking, but different.

     

    I then hired Dan to create my website for my payroll company. He addressed my concerns on how I wanted the website to reflect my company values. He sent me a list of questions to answer that made me think about things that I hadn't even considered yet. He worked around schedules to get us two photo sessions to get some local pictures instead of using canned photos. It gave the site a very polished, professional, personal touch.
