In the heart of Grand Haven, Michigan, a digital transformation has breathed new life into the virtual corridors of knowledge. Dog Ear undertook an exciting project to revamp the online presence of Loutit District Library. Through design, UI/UX enhancements, and SEO strategies, the library's website is now set to support the community better than ever before.

A Genealogical Odyssey

What sets this project apart is the integration of a genealogy database, an online trove that stitches into the historical tapestry of the Grand Haven area. Marriages, births, deaths – this digital repository pulls together the lives of generations past. The inclusion of map images paints a vivid picture of how the region has evolved over time.

Dog Ear’s commitment to accessibility ensured that the Loutit Library website adapts seamlessly to screens of all sizes. Whether exploring the genealogy database on a desktop or discovering the library's offerings on a mobile device, the experience remains fluid and engaging.

Summer Reading Program Rebranded

Dog Ear was also tasked to rebrand Loutit’s popular summer reading program. We came up with a new logo highlighting the elements of Grand Haven the community celebrates, along with design and brand elements to use across promotional materials and websites.

A Grand Rapids Touch

While the Grand Rapids roots of Dog Ear run deep, the focus of this project was firmly on elevating the digital presence of the Loutit Library in Grand Haven. The collaborative efforts between our Grand Rapids team and Grand Haven librarians culminated in a website that embodies the spirit of Michigan’s west coast and heritage.
