TLG Marketing plans, designs and launches websites for Ames businesses, from ag-tech and research companies near Iowa State to restaurants, rentals, clinics and contractors serving Story County. Each site is planned around demo requests, bookings, calls and quotes. TLG designs from Long Beach, California, where it was founded in 2006, and every Ames project is handled remotely.
What a website needs to win customers in Ames
Ames is a university city where agriculture, research and federal labs sit side by side, and its websites often have to explain technical work to non-specialists.
- Research products need plain explanations. The ISU Research Park, Ames National Laboratory and USDA’s animal and agricultural research centers support companies with complex products. Their sites have to make the science clear to farmers, dealers and purchasing teams.
- Cyclone weekends fill the town. Iowa State football and basketball bring fans to Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum, and hotels, bars and restaurants see their busiest days. Fast mobile pages with menus and reservations catch them.
- Leasing season starts early. Students line up next year’s apartment months ahead, comparing options on their phones between classes. A rental site that shows open units and takes applications online wins those comparisons.
- Healthcare serves central Iowa. Mary Greeley Medical Center and McFarland Clinic draw patients from surrounding counties, so practices need online forms, maps and clear specialties.
How we build an Ames website
We start by naming your audiences, whether that’s growers, researchers, students or local families, and what each should do next. Our designers turn that into page layouts for your approval, using UI and UX design that turns complex offers into clear steps.
From launch, GA4 logs every demo request and form, and call tracking shows which pages make the phone ring. After launch, we update the site as products, research news or leasing dates change.

// Questions
Web design in Ames: common questions
Do you have an office in Ames?
No. Ames projects run remotely from our office in Long Beach, California, with video meetings and an online review of each design before anything is built.
We’re an ag-tech startup in the ISU Research Park. Should our website speak to farmers or investors?
Usually both, through separate paths. Growers and dealers want to know what the product does in the field, what it takes to adopt and who supports it, while partners and investors look for the team, the research and the progress you can share. We design a homepage that sends each group to its own pages.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope: the number of pages, custom features, ecommerce and how much content needs writing. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can achieve.
How long does a website project take?
A small business website takes about two weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with ecommerce, integrations or a lot of content take longer, and your proposal gives the timeline. Getting content and feedback to us quickly is the biggest factor you control.
Can you work on our existing website?
Yes. We can redesign it, improve what’s there, speed it up or move it to a new platform. We start by reviewing the current site so we know what’s worth keeping.
