Design That Welcomes You Home: A Custom Website + Embroidered Touch for Shiawassee Shores

June 12, 2025

We’re proud to share the new website for Shiawassee Shores Retirement Community.

At Behind Your Design, we believe that every brand should reflect the heart of the people behind it—and when it comes to Shiawassee Shores, that heart is all about community, comfort, and connection. Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Linden, Michigan, Shiawassee Shores offers maintenance-free manufactured home living for adults 55 and over. We were proud to help bring their message to life both online and off.


A Website That Reflects Community Living

When Shiawassee Shores came to us, they were ready for a website that not only looked great but made it easy for visitors to explore everything their community has to offer. From showcasing available homes to highlighting amenities and the lifestyle that sets them apart, we designed a clean, modern site that’s easy to navigate and welcoming to their target audience.

The website includes:

  • An intuitive layout for browsing home listings
  • High-quality visuals to reflect the calm, scenic environment
  • Easy-to-use forms for inquiries and contact
  • Mobile-friendly design so users can browse from anywhere

Every element was thoughtfully created to give visitors a genuine feel for the Shiawassee Shores experience before they even schedule a tour.

More Than Design—It’s a Full Experience

This project is a great example of how digital and physical branding can work hand in hand to create a cohesive, memorable experience. From the first website visit to a branded keytag in hand, every detail was designed to feel thoughtful, friendly, and professional. The custom embroidered keytags we created are a simple yet impactful way to extend that brand experience beyond the screen—perfect for welcome packages, client gifts, or everyday visibility. It’s branding that leaves a lasting impression, right down to the smallest detail.

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.

Elevating the Tanglewood Brand At Behind Your Design, we believe good design should do more than just look pretty - it should connect, inform, and support the people it's made for. That’s why partnering with Tanglewood Assisted Living has been such a meaningful project for our team. As a trusted support system for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Tanglewood Assisted Living sought refreshed branding that reflected clarity, compassion, and consistency. We were honored to collaborate with them, creating a new logo and marketing materials to help bring their vision to life.

Reaching the Skies with Stunning Design: How We Partnered with Covenant Aero When Covenant Aero came to us, they had a bold mission: “The Gospel through Aviation”, using aviation as a tool to reach people in remote places with hope, faith, and help. What they needed was a visual presence and communications strategy that could soar just as high as their planes. That’s where our team stepped in. Chelsea and Matt got the opportunity to visit and fly over to the airport hanger and hang the vinyl decals on the wall. Check out the video to see what happened. Here’s a look at what we delivered—each piece designed to help Covenant Aero reach more people, strengthen connections, and keep their mission soaring.
