Who is HoneyWick

As a boutique website design and marketing firm, our team partners closely with our clients in a way that might almost be described as old-fashioned. While every member of the Honeywick team brings a unique set of skills to each project, there is one trait we all share – a passion for helping people. We’re a hard-working group of kind-hearted dog lovers, technophiles, creatives, avid readers, research geeks, early birds and night owls, sticklers for good writing, data junkies, and champions of local business. Get to know more about who you’ll be working with when you choose Honeywick to help with your website and marketing needs.

SynergyDev Creates First Website

1998 X

At the edge of the aughts, Jeff and Diane Watts-Roy launched SynergyDev with the goal of designing and developing websites for small and medium-sized businesses while based out of Louisville, Kentucky. Little did they know what SynergyDev would become in the coming years.

First e-Commerce Website Launches

2000 X

Two years, and many lead-generation websites later, SynergyDev dove into the world of e-commerce websites with the launch of MJ Corral and expanded their service offerings. As the world became more in tune with the internet, SynergyDev stayed a step ahead.

SEO is Added to Service Offerings

2005 X

Halfway through the 2000s, SynergyDev expanded their list of services again to include an increasingly important aspect of establishing an online presence – Search Engine Optimization. Jeff and Diane understood from early on that having a website wasn’t the only thing businesses needed to be successful online. Well executed SEO was required, too.

First WordPress Website Goes Live

2011 X

After 12 years of developing websites using ASP.net, SynergyDev shifted their focus to using the WordPress blogging platform to design and develop websites. The shift to WordPress proved to be a smart decision with 43% of websites on the internet using the WordPress platform as of 2021.

SynergyDev Rebrands & Honeywick is Born

2012 X

The next year, SynergyDev rebranded as Honeywick but that was not the only big move for the company at the time. Honeywick also established their first office in the Nucleus Innovation building in downtown Louisville, KY and launched their own website to expand their reach outside of word of mouth.

2012 X

December 12th of the same year became a celebratory day for the newly rebranded business. Louisville’s Mayor, Greg Fischer, announced that 12/12/12 would be known as Honeywick Day moving forward.

Honeywick Hosting Takes Off

2014 X

When the opportunity to purchase a national hosting company presented itself, Jeff and Diane made the decision to expand Honeywick once again. With the establishment of Honeywick Hosting, Honeywick not only offered design, development, and marketing services but also secure and affordable hosting.

Downtown Louisville Office Opens

As the expansion of services continued, Honeywick quickly outgrew their first offices in the Nucleus Innovation building. Looking for a larger space that matched the creativity and ingenuity of the brand, Honeywick moved into the Glassworks Building on the corner of 9th and Market.

Honeywick Becomes a Google Partner

2015 X

The Team Begins to Expand

2016 X

Just shy of 20 years in the business of website design and development and digital marketing, Honeywick began to expand with the hire of two new team members. Senior Project Manager, Samantha Elwood, and Art Director, Cat Louis, joined the Honeywick team.

Honeywick is a top notch Louisville web design and development agency offering a comprehensive selection of services to help represent and grow your business or organization.

We Learn We Can Handle Anything

2020 X

On Friday, March 13th, the Honeywick team left the office expecting to return the following Monday but, little did we know, it would be over a year before we were together again. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that we can withstand changes in business and adapt to continue to offer top of the line service to our clients through anything from anywhere.

$1,000,000 is Spent on Google Ads

2021 X

2021 saw Honeywick cross the million dollar mark in Google Advertising spend. Every penny of the Google Ad spend went towards seeing the success of Honeywick clients with the various businesses Honeywick works with seeing 110,547,151 ad impressions by the end of the year.

New & Improved Website Launches

2022 X

After a decade of helping businesses of all types and sizes make their marks on the World Wide Web and see success in online advertising, Honeywick made the decision to improve our own online image with the launch of a new, improved website of our own.
