Over the years, we’ve had the chance to work with some amazing organizations, and along the way, we’ve picked up a few awards. But this MUSE Gold feels extra special—it’s a reflection of the level of thought and care we bring to every build, every campaign, and every conversation.
Behind the Scenes: The Property Guardian Project
This award-winning project started with a big mission: make wildfire risk data accessible, fast, and actionable for everyday users. Property Guardian is a platform designed to deliver wildfire mitigation insights for any U.S. address in just minutes. The goal? Help people protect their properties and communities before the next wildfire strikes.
To bring that vision to life, our team focused on:
- Intuitive, user-first design – We crafted a website layout that’s clean, easy to navigate, and approachable for a wide audience, including homeowners, municipalities, and insurance pros.
- Responsive performance – Whether someone’s visiting from their phone, tablet, or desktop, the experience remains seamless and fast.
- Search engine visibility – We built the site with SEO best practices baked in, ensuring that people looking for wildfire mitigation solutions can actually find them.
It was a challenging and deeply rewarding project. Seeing it live—and seeing it help people—was already a win in our book. But receiving a MUSE Gold? That’s the cherry on top.

This award isn’t just a pat on the back—it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. At Ice Nine Online, we believe that great digital work goes beyond clean code and good design. It’s about making tools that solve real problems and building experiences that truly connect.
