new website for exotic car company

MidWestern Vehicle Leasing and Sales, based in Dayton, Ohio, have been connecting people and cars all over the country for over 50 years. Whether it’s the functional vehicle your business needs, or the dream car your heart desires, they have the resources, experience, and commitment to get you behind the wheel of even the rarest of rides.

MidWestern needed to upgrade their website to make it a destination worthy of both the exotic nature of their luxury inventory and the exceptional dedication and care that is the cornerstone of all their client relationships.

our process

McLarens. Maseratis. And Bentleys, oh my! Right away, the ruef team knew photography was going to play an outsized role in the building of the MidWestern website. Tired stock images need not apply! And the photography was going to be a two-way street – with vehicle images both supporting and inspiring the website design. With such high-profile car images, it was also important to make sure that the MidWestern brand wasn’t overshadowed. But our designers weren’t just looking for balance. They wanted to create a website that elevated the brand and immediately connected with MidWestern’s clients. We met with the client to clearly define where the site needed to rigidly stay on rails and where our team could let their imaginations run wild.

We can’t stop re-visiting this website! MidWestern loves it! Our photographers love it! Our designers love it! The finished website showcases the power of project managers, writers, designers, and photographers all working together in-house towards a single vision. The new MidWestern website is easy to navigate, unique, brand elevating, and beautiful. We thank MidWestern for letting us flex our creative muscles on this project!
