After spending the last few months redesigning some of our longtime legacy clients' websites, we've had a serious case of FOMO and decided that we wanted in on the action too! ;)

A lot has changed over the last 28 year since we started designing and building websites. Design styles have changed, the devices we use to view a website have changed, multiple DIY template companies have come and gone, search engines have changed, and AI has become a part of our daily lives. We wanted our website to reflect the current technology, style, and services we offer our customers TODAY, while still maintaining focus on the things that set us apart from the competition -- our expertise, artistry, and UNMATCHED customer support. We are the only equine website design company out there that offers a 3 way guarantee, and we've been doing it since 1998.

I thought it would be fun to post a collage showing some of the different looks our website has had over the years - from our very first website in 1998 - to our beautiful brand new look that was launched today!

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Nancy Rapp. 💔

Our hearts go out to the entire Rapp family during this difficult time. Nancy was truly a beautiful woman inside and out with a kind soul and a genuine love for people and the sport.

We have such fond memories of time spent at the futurity and always appreciated the opportunity to visit with her. She was a wonderful supporter of the cutting horse industry, and her presence will be deeply missed by so many.

It has truly been a privilege to have known her all these years.

Sending love, prayers, and our deepest condolences to the Rapp family. 🤍

🌐 “Do I really still need a website?”

We hear this more and more lately…

👉 “I’ve got Facebook…”
👉 “I’m on Instagram…”
👉 “People can just message me…”

And hey we get it. Social media is easy. It’s quick. It works…

👉 until it doesn’t… or they shut you down.

Here’s the part most people don’t realize 👇

📉 The average Facebook post reaches about 5% (or less) of your followers
📉 Instagram isn’t much better—most of your audience never even sees your posts

So even if you’ve spent years building a following…

👉 only a small fraction is actually seeing you on any given day.

Now compare that to this 👇

🌐 Your website is searchable 24/7
🌐 It can be found on Google, AI tools, and search engines
🌐 Anyone, anywhere can land on it—whether they follow you or not
🌐 It works for you even when you’re not posting

💥 That’s the difference between “being on social media”… and actually being FOUND.

Social media is great for connection…
But your website?

👉 That’s your HOME BASE
👉 That’s your CREDIBILITY
👉 That’s where people decide if they TRUST you

So here’s the real question…

If someone went looking for your business today…

👉 Would they find YOU… or just your last post?

🌐 With your website, your doors are ALWAYS open.

🔐 Password Check Time!

If your password is still “123456”… we need to talk. 😅

Strong passwords aren’t just for tech geeks—they’re your first line of defense against hackers who would love to get into your accounts. A good password should be:
✔️ Long (think 12+ characters)
✔️ A mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
✔️ Not your dog’s name… or your birthday… or “password” (yes, people still use it)

Pro tip: If you can remember it easily, a hacker probably can guess it easily.

Upgrade your passwords like you upgrade your phone—regularly and with better features. Your future self will thank you. 💻🔒

At Big Sky Internet Design, we love projects that honor a client's original vision while bringing it into the modern digital age. That's exactly what happened when legendary cutting horse trainer and clinician Lindy Burch asked us to refresh her website, lindyburch.com. Her site - originally designed and largely unchanged since 2012 - had a clean, simple aesthetic that perfectly captured her no-nonsense, authentic brand. It was heavy on beautiful imagery of her horses, clinics, and events, with minimal text. Lindy wanted to keep that look and feel intact, but she also needed the site to work seamlessly on phones and tablets, plus strong search engine optimization (SEO) and AI-friendly content to help more riders discover her programs.

Enter our "Tell Your Business Story" program. This unique approach let us weave Lindy's real story into her site without changing its soul. Here's how we did it, step by step:
