Founded in 2014, Galveston Island Brewing (GIB) started as a home brewing couple’s dream and is now the island’s premier brewer. Support from locals and the surrounding county has named them the crafters of Galveston’s Official Beer, Tiki Wheat. The firm keeps growing and setting its eyes on new flavors and brewing options. In 2021, the firm went through some major upgrades with its 4,400 square foot expansion to help double production and provide event space. The next year, JanMar’s graphic designer built the company’s new site from the ground to be up to date with animations, interactive elements, search engine optimization, and tailored images.  

Carriage Haus is a specialty golf cart rental service that recreates a vintage experience in Galveston with 1908 Ford Model-T styled carts.

They chose JanMar to renovate their website with new page designs and make edits to old ones. JanMar is trusted with managing and creating content for a blog and newsletter as well as designs for signage.

JanMar has also handled newsletters and related blogs and, when physical media is needed, flyer designs.  

La Izquierda is a nonprofit event organizer with a passion for bringing communities across the Gulf Coast together with music, festivals, and surf competitions.

ICart Island Tours is a new Galveston touring business with an emphasis on green practices and transportation through the use of electric vehicles.

Island Ride Out is a Galveston cycling event that features 3 group rides along routes on the island. The event is accompanied by a bike expo and show with nightlife-related plans afterward. Both events are co-hosted by Island Bicycle Company owned by Jeff Nielsen. He works with JanMar to create a website, print flyers, run social media posts, and put together sponsorship packages for the event. Proceeds go towards improving the trails and rideability of the island.

Kids Score Your Games is a personal project for Regina Runnels. While golfing at Moody Gardens, she had the desire to pass the game and skills down to kids. To have any lessons, she needed materials with information that were understandable and informative. JanMar created a rule sheet along with instructional images on flashcards for scorekeeping and golfing. JanMar also helped with delivering and managing communications to the material manufacturer, so everything was printed correctly.
