Scenic Hideaways Home Page screenshot - imageThe WebWise team has had the pleasure of working with Mike and Skippy Leibfried, owners of Scenic Hideaways since 2002, when we developed their first website.

Web development and websites have certainly changed considerably in the last 24 years, but the Leibfried's commitment to providing two exceptional, charming, quaint cottages in their separate uniquely scenic, pristine, and private locations has not.

The Cottage on Lake Galena is a spectacular retreat property with a very private and beautiful lake-view setting of beautiful Lake Galena in the heart of the Galena Territory Resort just minutes south of Galena, Illinois. The property is a cozy 2-bedroom, 2½ bath custom log and masonry cottage, packed with amenities, including an outdoor, year-round hot tub.

Your stay at The Scenic Hideaways' The Cottage on Lake Galena property provides full access to all of the Galena Territory Resort amenities as well.

Their The Cottage at Streamwalk retreat property is located in a beautiful pristine valley, in the heart of Southwest Wisconsin's Driftless Area. Your visit will find you in a exceptional, charming, romantic stone cottage with high end furnishings and architecture.

While there are too many amenities to list here, this exceptional cottage includes a full kitchen with modern appliances. The cozy living room includes a stone fireplace and smart tv with access to all main streaming services. The spectacular sunroom includes a seating area to enjoy a book or your morning coffee while looking out at the surrounding bluffs. The entire cottage is wired to a Bluetooth compatible stereo system. A private wood fire pit is located just outside of the cottage, along with a gas grill.

Enjoy exceptional privacy in a secluded, scenic environment. The cottage sits on 100 private acres located in the heart of Wisconsin's Driftless Area, all of which you will have access to for your enjoyment and relaxation.

Elite Forklift Safety Training imageRecently, the team at WebWise Design & Marketing had the opportunity to work with Adam Schmidt, owner of Elite Forklift Safety Training. During our initial discovery meeting, we discussed Adam’s goals, target audience, and budget, and quickly determined that our WebWise Small Business (SMB) Starter Website package was the ideal solution for his new business.

Adam brings extensive knowledge and real-world experience in forklift safety training. Like many small business owners launching a new venture, his goal was to establish a professional online presence quickly and affordably while maximizing visibility within his service area.

Elite Forklift Safety Training provides OSHA-compliant forklift safety training for small to mid-sized businesses, particularly companies that do not have an in-house safety coordinator or trainer. Adam primarily serves businesses throughout the greater Madison area and Southwest Wisconsin.

Once Adam provided the website content and information he wanted included, our team promptly developed a demo website for review. From there, we refined the content with additional search engine optimization (SEO) enhancements to help improve online visibility and search performance. After reviewing the final updates, Adam approved the demo website for launch, and we successfully published his new website.

We are proud to help small business owners like Adam create a professional digital presence that supports their growth and long-term success.

But at the core of it all is something simple: understanding.
