LIVE SITE LINKS
Listed below are active links to a few sites that I have designed and built for my clients. Some are at mockup stage.
But first, the back-story:
I was highly frustrated for years trying to create effective, good looking and well branded websites. The main reason for that was I had HTML code writers & Wordpress people between me and my clients and some of them would say, "That can't be done / that will cost more." - or some other kind of excuse or hindrance.
Today, I only use 3 people to build a website:
Me, Myself, and I.
Here's why -
It is all simply due to the do-it-yourself, drag-and-drop, website services that allow a creative person to create without writing code. This gave me the freedom to make my vision and ideas for my clients come alive with virtually no compromises - and not waiting on others. It also allowed for better speed and much better results, causing a better deal for my clients. But don't worry, all the code is still easily accessible and editable. As needed, I have pros that I work with that can make anything happen with custom code.

Legatus Memoria / Gift Coli
CLIENT'S TESTIMONIAL: "Bill Latocki makes the complex simple. After I invented a new way to use Corporate Owned Life Insurance to increase earnings and increase philanthropy in the communities where corporations do business, Bill was able to summarize it on my webpage in just four words: Increase Earnings. Maximize Philanthropy. His design choice of photographic content set my website apart from other financial advisors who do corporate planning. If you want to make a statement and get noticed, Bill Latocki is the one you want on your team." ~ Rev. Mark L. Gurley, CLU®, ChFC®, CLTC®, CAP®, COSJ

Roadhouse Grill and Bar
A family owned restaurant with very interesting historical roots. I cleaned up and refreshed their old logo and, with my photos and design, captured the true personality of "the old joint". Most all models shown in the photos are my friends or friends & employees of the restaurant. We shot in the slowest mid-afternoon slump and used fake customers so we would not bother real customers. I shot all the photos and did the copywriting except for the history page.

Guardhouse Rentals
Production Realty’s property management division. Both firms are owned by my son, Ben Latocki.

Mark Drake International Ministries
Mark Drake is an internationally known Christian teacher and published author. His site is large and has podcasts, blog posts, book store, and much more. The store is NOT part of what I created - so please ignore that. It was previously done and just linked to this new site. The store is next to update and improve.

Benjamin Gilpin
This middle school principal is becoming famous nationwide for his leadership skills in teaching other teachers and school leaders. So it was time to “package and brand” him as a nationally famous leader/speaker. He had no professional photos to work with except “snap shots” so I gave him some art direction and he had a photographer-friend match those examples. You can see how important good photos are to establishing his brand and message.
