Approaching a new year often leaves us with a mix of emotions. We’re anxious and excited for the year ahead but at the same time we like to look back on the highlights of the past year and take some time to reflect on the positives. As it turns out, 2015 has been quite the incredible year for us here at FrontRunner. We launched our technology center workshops, hired lots of amazing new staff, and had a blast at MANY (probably too many) trade shows across North America, just to name a few. However, one of the year’s biggest highlights is keeping clients, old and new, smiling with a shiny new FrontRunner funeral home website!
Our clients come up with lots of creative ideas they have for their funeral home websites and challenged our designers and developers to create the best web and funeral home software products in the industry. There’s no better feeling than pushing that finished product live for the world to see and hearing the positive feedback from both clients and the families they serve. We want to showcase with you a few of this year’s funeral home website designs. We appreciate all of our clients who joined the FrontRunner family this year and are proud at the progressive approach they take with their business. Of course we can’t show all of the websites we’ve pushed live this year, but below are some highlights our team has chosen in no particular order. We look forward to helping many more funeral professionals in making 2016 their best year yet!
Vescio Funeral Homes – Toronto, ON
Vescio’s funeral home website is one of the newest websites which FrontRunner has created. It has a unique homepage and a very sleek, modern design. How beautiful is this funeral website design? Amazing job to our design team here. It is absolutely stunning!
