First Net Impressions, LLC

Working in the Eau Claire area of Wisconsin since 1997, First Net Impressions, LLC designs websites and handles marketing for local clients. It counts itself among the longest-established web development companies in the industry, with a track record of more than 25 years.

Websites that carry one consistent look

The firm's central service is web design, built on the idea that a website, letterhead, business cards, social posts and advertising should share one identity. The company argues that a cohesive look and feel across all marketing materials is what makes a business instantly recognizable, and it says branding and marketing are where its team is strongest.

Print, identity and advertising alongside the web

Beyond websites, the firm produces letterhead and business cards, digital and print advertisements, and social media ads and posts. Its recent work includes logo and identity projects for a Madison restaurant, a driving academy, a printing business, a transport company and a construction and design firm, along with a county crime-reporting program and an equine brand.

Hosting kept in-house in the Midwest

Hosting and email are run by the firm itself, in facilities in the Midwest, and it says none of its hosting or email services are passed on to a third party. It reports having hosted more than 550 websites locally. The firm says its in-house staff can answer questions or solve problems straight away rather than sending clients to an outside supplier.

Growth and client base in the Eau Claire market

The company reports more than 500 clients in the area, and it presents its long record as a sign of stability for local businesses that want a web partner nearby. Its service is aimed at companies and organizations in the Eau Claire region that need a web presence they can rely on, both online and in print.
