Your Website is Your Front Door
People go to your website as their one source of truth for most information. It’s often your first impression to both prospective visitors and community members. These are your website non-negotiables:
Easy to navigate • Dynamic and interactive • Visually appealing
A modern, accessible, and well-designed website will keep people engaged, help them find what they’re looking for, and prompt action.
Seeing is believing, so just look at these before-and-after photos from our recent web project with the City of Eldridge.


Our city had a great experience working with de Novo Marketing on our new website. The old site was outdated and complaints from residents indicated information was hard to find so it was time for a change. de Novo had a streamlined process to help us develop the perfect site to fit our needs. None of our staff felt overwhelmed during the process. It was quick and easy. Their staff was great to work with and very responsive to questions. It has only been live a few weeks, but so far we have received many comments from residents giving the city accolades for creating this new user-friendly website. I would recommend de Novo.
