Pewter Report
The Problem
Pewter Report is the Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s most trusted news site and ranks in the top 1% of websites nationwide for overall traffic. When they came to Visual Realm for help they were working with a well know web firm in Tampa. Their website was thrown into a $55 template with little customization. The site was slow, bulky, and not mobile friendly. The backend of the website was confusing and cumbersome for the many writers contributing articles.
The Solution
We moved Pewter Report to a much more sustainable, customizable theme and also reverse engineered their booming forum to work directly with the WordPress platform through bbPress. The web design was given a major face lift with an update to the fonts, colors, layout and more. New and popular articles were given better on-page visibility to promote click throughs. Advertisement placement was completely reformulated to benefit both the readers and the sponsors.

Results That Compete With The Best
The Result
Pewter Report is experiencing their highest traffic numbers in history and have been able to increase their staff to continue on this successful path. They have increased forum users, page views, unique visitors, social media presence. With the dependable hosting server backing up larger file formats, they have launched a podcast and PRTV featuring video news reports.
“We tried going with the “large agency” but leaving them for Visual Realm was the best decision we’ve made.”
