WHO ARE WE?

We come from humble beginnings, but we are loaded with skills.

OUR STORY

Front Porch Fodder is a web design, graphic and social media company that creates and celebrates your brand.

We've been friends (besties) for more than 30 years. Now, we're lucky to not only work together but work WELL together. They say opposites attract and that is certainly true for us, which is what we think makes FPF unique. Lauchlin, a former journalist, began Front Porch Fodder in 2012 and is a self-taught graphic and web designer who relies heavily on all the right-brain artsy ways of thinking to create and tell stories. Cortney, who has a love for data, analytics and numbers, has a background in marketing and business, which gives FPF the edge it needs to be a full-service digital and print marketing business. Yep, we're the full package. But, we'll let you decide.

LET'S MEET

WE DON'T LIKE TO BRAG. WE'LL LET OUR CLIENTS DO THAT:

"Front Porch Fodder has done an exemplary job of advertising the City of Vicksburg, MS. Their professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. Their creativity and vision have been assets in showcasing all the positive attributes of our city. I commend and thank Lauchlin Fields and her staff for their collaboration with the City of Vicksburg, and I look forward to working with them in the future."

George Flaggs, Jr. Mayor City of Vicksburg, MS

"We had Front Porch Fodder redesign the website for our non-profit artists' organization at the end of 2016. Our biggest need was to facilitate integration between the site and payment & registration forms for members and other participants. The many different registration forms are now easy for site visitors to use and, most importantly, easy to access and organize for our administrative personnel.

The new website was delivered on time, looks great and is easy to navigate. Support during activation and integration has been prompt and effective.

I highly recommend the team at FPF and look forward to our continued relationship with them."

Shanti Conlan Treasurer PrintMatters Houston

"From the first meeting with Front Porch Fodder to various phone calls concerning our website, they made me feel very confident and comfortable that they understood and could produce what we envisioned. It’s been a terrific experience working with them. The finished product was far superior than I imagined! Thanks to Front Porch Fodder, other companies use our site as an example of how easy a website should flow. Their response time to issues that arise are very prompt (within minutes) and you can’t find that anywhere else."

Annette Kirklin Executive Director Vicksburg Convention Center

"FPF is exactly what I needed. Website design, logo design, email design and database management, branding, in-store signage and print advertising are some of the services they provide for me. I trust their instincts and could not be more pleased with the results."
