Leadtooth is pleased to have launched the new website for The Tiki, a vacation condominium rental property in South Padre Island, TX.

The Tiki approached Leadtooth needing a logo redesign and website to coincide with the new management at the property. We worked with the property’s owners to create the new logo (to the right) and develop a website that accurately represented the condominium property.

This first phase of The Tiki’s new website features a reservation request form, dynamic rate system, customized Google Maps and a few other enhancements. We look forward to working with The Tiki to build its online presence.

We’ve been working hard the last few weeks redesigning the www.shoulderandelbowdoc.com website for one of our ongoing clients, Dr. Anthony A. Romeo. Dr. Romeo is an orthoepedic surgeon at Rush University Medical Center. He recently received media attention for his successful shoulder surgery on Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy.

Leadtooth developed Dr. Romeo’s initial site a few years ago. His website has since grown to be an important tool for marketing and patient information. The website’s redesign is focused on highlighting Dr. Romeo’s ongoing achievements and providing a more user-friendly experience for patients. Features include an interactive Google Map of Dr. Romeo’s lecture locations, another customized Google Map for directions to the office’s two locations, and Javascript slideshow customization.

Leadtooth is pleased to announce the launch of www.anabelaval.com, the official website of Ana Belaval. Ana is probably best known in Chicago as the host of WGN’s Around Town.

Ana’s website design was centered around a clean and welcoming aesthetic. Our goal was to highlight her stand up comedy work and event appearances, while providing users with access to her Chicago mom’s blog, Facebook, Twitter and other sites.

The website development includes a customized script to pull in her Twitter updates, a customized media player and some other nice enhancements.

Ana has been great to work with. We look forward to a great ongoing relationship. Don’t forget to check her out on WGN’s Around Town weekday mornings!

I just wanted to write a quick post to let you know of some of the cool projects we have been working on. We are about to launch the new websites for Ana Belaval of WGN’s Around Town and Lawyer Martin Quintana. We have also been working hard on website redesigns for Joliet Pattern and Dr. Anthony A. Romeo.

We will post updates once these sites are live. Some other fun things are on their way too, including the revealing of the new identity and website for a great vacation spot in South Padre Island.

Also, the article I wrote about choosing a good web designer recently made it into a published book, “The Illinois Survival Guide” written by Heather M. Frtisch and John H. Maville wrote the book to help out young lawyers in Illinois. For the text of the article referenced in the book, click here.

Time to go enjoy the warm weather while it lasts!

Last weekend the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival took place in Logan Square. The festival was presented by I AM Logan Square (Independent Artists and Merchants of Logan Square), an organization set up by 35th Ward Alderman Rey Colon. Leadtooth developed the logo for I Am Logan Square and it was featured throughout the festival on programs, banners, trolley signs, posters and other materials.

Look for the full I AM Logan Square web site to launch in the coming months. Leadtooth is working with Penly Solutions to develop a directory of independent artists, musicians and businesses in our community. We are pleased to work with Alderman Colon’s office to make the resource possible.

For the time being, you can watch a short video with Alderman Rey Colon and sign up for updates at www.iamlogansquare.com.

Two of Leadtooth’s funniest clients, Pat McGann and Ana Belaval, host the new show on WTTW called The Chicago Stand-Up Project.
