Custom-Tailored Websites
The Best of Form and Functionality
MVP’s “Best of the Midwest” crew with over 75 private capital and portfolio company websites under our belt (since 2000) offers distinctive, premium quality and full-stack custom designed websites that are as good or better than the competition. In 2022, MVP partnered with such Private Equity firms as Beedie Capital (Vancouver, BC), Mason Wells (Milwaukee, WI), and Real Estate PE firm Mortar Group (New York City, NY) to revitalize their branding and websites with the latest in form and functionality. Likewise, MVP’s team created trendsetting websites for such prominent investment banks as RA Capital (San Diego, CA), R.L. Hulett (St. Louis, MO), and Brentwood Capital (Nashville, TN). MVP has a deep understanding of private capital site requirements and used both its knowledge and experience to differentiate each of these firms from their competitors. Sites like these featured such differentiating enhancements as video montages; CEO testimonial videos; custom portfolio, news and team filters; investor portals; and exceptionally easy-to-use and administer MVP-customized WordPress content management systems. Our detailed needs analysis process ensures that your brand and website will receive the focus and attention they need to showcase your firm’s unique points of difference and your team’s accomplishments.

MVP TeamPlate℠ Websites
A Customized WordPress Website with Advantages over SaaS-Based Alternatives
MVP helps growing and often cost-sensitive private capital firms achieve the “look and feel” of custom-tailored websites for less through its MVP TeamPlate℠ website design and development tier. MVP TeamPlate℠ WordPress sites offer many of the features and functionality of their custom counterparts, but at lower cost and with faster time-to-delivery. In 2022, MVP utilized its MVP TeamPlate℠ platform to elevate the web presence of such private capital firms as CCG Advisors (Atlanta, GA), Keswick Partners (Tampa, FL), Midwest Mezzanine Funds (Chicago, IL) and Zabel Companies (Charlotte, NC). By employing code used on MVP’s award-winning custom Private Capital websites in combination with the underlying WordPress website platform, MVP has been able to deploy a more flexible and SEO-friendly site than such SaaS solutions as Wix, Weebly and SquareSpace. MVP TeamPlate℠ sites feature customized designs, flexible typography and color palette, custom and stock photography/videography and efficient navigation –– free from the extraneous code and plugins characteristic of more formulaic, SEO handicapped and inflexible SaaS solutions and WordPress themes used by others. Contact us to learn how an MVP TeamPlate℠ website can help you afford not only a good website but a great digital marketing package with such add-ons as branding, logo, 2-pager, videography, PowerPoint, HTML newsletter and more…
Video Production
From Onsite to Remote Video, We Bring Portco CEO Stories and Case Histories to Life
In 2022, we collaborated with some of the industry’s top firms, including Mason Wells (Chicago, IL), Svoboda Capital (Chicago, IL), Brentwood Capital (Nashville, TN), R.L. Hulett (St. Louis, MO) and Wind Point Partners (Chicago, IL) to create high-impact home page and CEO portfolio company testimonials. Our in-house team understands the importance of creating videos that not only reflect the CEO’s and deal team’s success stories but bring them to life through compelling graphics and animation effects. Though it’s “have camera, will travel” when it comes to on-location shoots, our new Remote Video service, which we forged during the Pandemic, saves our clients time and money as it eliminates the need for crew travel. We simply send a kit consisting of a GoPro camera, desktop lighting and mic to the CEO, coach them remotely over Zoom, and they then return the kit to MVP for SD card extraction and post-production complete with all the graphic effects. Then on to the next CEO until we complete production and deliver the files–and a compelling online testimonial case history. Have a value creation plan worth sharing? Please contact us to learn how we can make it come to life.
MVP BrandMate℠ Messaging
Giving Voice to Clients and their Stakeholders to Distinguish these Firms

Based on a combination of internal and external (Voice of Customer) stakeholder interviews, competitive website and business and brand architecture statement formulation, our marketing team applied the MVP BrandMate℠ process to formulate the verbal and visual brand scaffolding of such leading private equity, investment bank and real estate equity firms as Beedie Capital (Vancouver, BC), R.L. Hulett (St. Louis, MO) and Mortar Group (New York City, NY), respectively.
