Twin Rivers Plumbing, Inc.
Twin Rivers Plumbing — a company known for excellence in plumbing services across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
When Twin Rivers approached us, the goal was clear: create a professional online presence that reflects the breadth of their services and the depth of their experience. The result is a clean, modern website that does just that — while making it easy for clients to explore the full range of what Twin Rivers Plumbing can do.
Web Design and Development:
- A visually engaging homepage that quickly communicates the company’s strengths and values.
- A robust portfolio section to highlight completed projects across multiple sectors, with high-impact images and key project details.
- Easy navigation to explore residential, commercial, and industrial services.
- A fully responsive design that looks great on any device — from mobile to desktop.
- Optimized calls-to-action that drive inquiries and service requests.
This site isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s built for performance and growth, giving Twin Rivers Plumbing the digital presence they deserve.
Forum Group: Two Brands, One Vision
We’re proud to showcase our work with both Forum Group PNW and Forum Group HR Recruitment Partners, two distinct but aligned staffing and HR firms under the Forum Group umbrella.
It began with Forum Group PNW, a trusted recruitment partner serving Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. They came to us for a professional, modern website that would reflect their people-first approach and proven success in direct hire, executive search, and long-term placements. We delivered a clean, mobile-friendly site with compelling content, streamlined navigation, and thoughtful calls to action — all designed to connect talent with opportunity.
Impressed by the quality of our collaboration, the corporate office in New York and New Jersey engaged us next to develop a website for Forum Group HR Recruitment Partners, their East Coast HR division. This new platform communicates the team’s strategic, relationship-driven approach to HR, from compliance to employee relations and beyond. The result is a clear, approachable site that reflects their values and supports their mission of building strong, people-centered workplaces.
We also created new logos for both branches of the company, ensuring a cohesive, professional brand presence across all touchpoints.
Together, these projects highlight Forum Group’s commitment to excellence — and we’re honored to have helped bring their vision to life.

We don’t just build websites—we craft online experiences that reflect the excellence of the businesses we work with. When Custom Window Cleaning Professionals approached us for a website refresh, we saw an opportunity for a great small business website design. We took their existing site and turned it into a powerful tool for growth, visibility, and customer engagement.
Just like a streak-free window transforms the way you see the world, a well-designed website enhances how customers perceive a business. Custom Window Cleaning Professionals already had a strong reputation for their high-quality residential and commercial window cleaning services, but their website needed a refresh to better reflect their expertise and make it easier for customers to connect with them.
The Website Transformation
Polished & Modernized Design
A great website should be as clean and seamless as the service it represents. We updated the layout, improved navigation, and ensured a mobile-friendly experience—because most customers are searching for home services from their phones. Now, the site feels sleek, professional, and easy to use.
SEO That Makes a Difference
A beautifully designed website is only effective if people can find it. We took a deep dive into keyword research, optimized site content, and refined meta descriptions, headers, and alt text to improve search engine rankings. With these enhancements, Custom Window Cleaning Professionals can now reach more potential customers searching for window cleaning in their area.
Clear, Engaging Content
We refreshed the website’s content to be more compelling, concise, and conversion-focused. The new messaging speaks directly to homeowners and businesses, highlighting the value of professional window cleaning, the benefits of working with Custom Window Cleaning Professionals, and the ease of scheduling a service.
Faster, Smoother Performance
A slow website can be as frustrating as a streaky window. We optimized page speed, image compression, and site functionality to ensure a smooth, fast experience—keeping visitors engaged and increasing conversions.
A More Effective Call-to-Action
The old site made it difficult for customers to take the next step. We implemented clear, easy-to-find “Get a Quote” and “Schedule Now” buttons, making it seamless for visitors to request services with just a click.
The Results?
A Small Business Website Design That Works as Hard as They Do
With these enhancements, Custom Window Cleaning Professionals now has a website that truly reflects their professionalism, quality service, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Their SEO-optimized pages are positioned for better visibility, and the refreshed content and design ensure a great user experience.
At UplinkSpyder, we love taking existing websites and giving them new life—because your online presence should be as polished as your business itself.

We’re excited to announce the launch of two new websites we’ve had the pleasure of building: WoodGrab  and Specialty Forest Products. These projects are part of our growing portfolio in the timber and specialty wood industries, and they reflect our commitment to helping businesses connect more effectively through thoughtful design and functionality. Both sites serve a valuable role in the industry—each acting as a digital marketplace that makes it easier for professionals to find what they need, offer what they have, and build lasting partnerships.
WoodGrab is a straightforward, user-friendly digital marketplace built specifically for the wood industry. Whether you’re a small mill looking to move excess inventory or a contractor searching for specific lumber grades, WoodGrab simplifies the buying and selling process. The platform is designed to reduce friction—eliminating traditional barriers and making it easier for both buyers and sellers to find each other quickly and efficiently. Because buying and selling wood shouldn’t be a logjam.
Specialty Forest Products
Specialty Forest Products is your trusted source for high-quality wood materials, including custom cuts, rare grades, and specialty products for fine woodworking, construction, and design. Their new site reflects their decades of experience and commitment to craftsmanship. With clean navigation and detailed product information, it gives customers the confidence to choose the right materials for the job—and highlights the expertise that sets them apart in a competitive market.
Both sites are live and already helping businesses and builders across the region get what they need, faster. We encourage you to explore them, see how they work, and let us know what you think. Your feedback means a lot and helps us continue building better online tools for great companies.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new HIV Alliance website! This website redesign makes it easier than ever for individuals to access vital healthcare and prevention resources while learning more about the incredible work HIV Alliance does in communities across Oregon.
Using your own photos on your website helps create an authentic, trustworthy, and memorable experience for visitors. Unlike stock images, which can feel impersonal and overused, original photos showcase your unique brand, team, products, and services in a way that truly represents who you are. Custom imagery builds credibility and connection, helping potential customers see the real people behind your business. It also enhances SEO, as original images can be optimized for search engines, giving your site a competitive edge. While stock photos may be a quick fix, original photography (and video!) ensures your website stands out and tells your story in the most genuine way possible.
The new website is designed to be clear, user-friendly, and informative. Visitors can easily find resources on treatment options, prevention strategies like PrEP and PEP, harm reduction programs, and behavioral health services. It also serves as a hub for education initiatives, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved through volunteering or donations.
This website redesign represents an important step in making essential health information and services more accessible to those who need them most. Whether you or someone you know is looking for support, or you want to contribute to this important cause, the new site makes it easy to take action.
Visit HIV Alliance today to explore the new platform, learn more, and find out how you can support HIV Alliance in their mission to create healthier communities.

Pretty much every business on the planet needs to have some sort of presence online. 85 percent of consumers conduct online research before making a purchase. Here are some great website design ideas and trends to keep an eye on so you can ensure that your website looks and functions great no matter where someone views them or what device they’re using.
Website Design Ideas
Website design trends vary year-to-year as people grow more used to new innovations in digital design, but there are some foundational elements of any good website that remain consistent. For instance, white space is a big deal on websites—and it’s important not just because it looks nice; more blank space means more room for your content to breathe.Â
Another trending idea right now is flat design, which means websites have fewer (or no) gradients or shadows and generally use flat colors. It may sound boring, but flat design has been adopted by most major tech companies as well as smaller startups trying to get noticed.
Website Trend #1 – Live Videos
If you’re looking for an engaging way to showcase your products or services—and a way to differentiate yourself from competitors—consider adding live videos to your website. Streams like Periscope allow users to broadcast videos directly through their social media platforms, making it an ideal solution for reaching large audiences. And if you don’t want all of your videos streamed live, you can always pre-record them and post them on YouTube.
Website Trend #2 – Pop-Ups
Pop-ups should be used if they serve a specific purpose other than just monetization, which is always (ALWAYS) a secondary priority. Try not to make users go through more than they need to in order to consume your content. Remember: It’s not about you; it’s about them. If you do decide to use pop-ups, don’t make them too big or intrusive. And remember that there are many ways to monetize without having ads covering every inch of your website.Â
Website Trend #3 – Original Photography
When someone visits your website, they should immediately feel like they know who you are. They should feel like they know what kind of company you run, what you sell, and why they should buy from you specifically. Original photography or imagery is an excellent way to convey personality through imagery while also giving people something interesting to look at while they read through your story.Â
Website Feature #1 – Easy Navigation
Your website’s navigation should be intuitive. You don’t want to confuse your users by making them jump through hoops just to get where they need to go. Try to find a balance between simple and interesting. The best way to determine whether or not your website is navigable is to test it with people who aren’t familiar with how websites work. Let them navigate around on their own without any help from you and see if they have any problems getting around.
Website Feature #2 – Form Validation and Auto-Email
As soon as a visitor fills out a form on your website, they expect it to accept or deny their entry. This is vital because visitors will move on to another website if they believe your form isn’t working correctly. Make sure you include validation on every form that accepts input from visitors.Â
It’s also a good idea to ensure that an automatic email goes to the customer in case they miss the validation. That email can offer an alternative way to contact you, an incentive, a tip. It’s an opportunity to reinforce your brand and encourage loyalty.
Website Feature #3 – Responsive Screen Size
Many websites today are still not responsive to multiple screen sizes and this is so important! A website should change to fit the device it is being viewed on. When we build a website, we view it on multiple devices to ensure that every user can navigate the site easily and receives the same, impactful presentation.Â
You’re On Your Way To A Great Website Design
There’s a lot more to consider, but luckily, we can do the considering for you! If you want more website design ideas, or an expert to help build you a fantastic website, give us a call.
