Design
As defined in Webster's Dictionary:
- : to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan
- : to conceive and plan out in the mind
- : to indicate with a distinctive mark, sign, or name
- : to make a drawing, pattern, or sketch
All of our design hinges on communication, that's why our process always starts with an initial meeting to talk about design concepts. After the meeting we develop 1-3 design mocks and submit them for constructive feedback. After the feedback process if another round of design is needed, another mock is made. This back and forth can go for a total of 3 times without incurring additional fees. Once the design is signed off, finalization will take place or in the case of a web design rendering will begin.
Does your web site design put your clients to sleep? Do you have too much content and not enough visual imagery to keep their attention? Not enough content? We can help your web site keep your clients attention and entertain!
Web Design Packages
We know that not everyone is an expert in web design, and quite often people aren't sure of what they actually need when it comes to the web and having, establishing or maintaining a web presence. With that in mind, we offer packages that can meet any businesses needs and for the ones that want something a little different we offer completely custom packages. All web design packages include both the design and rendering of the site.
Don't know what rendering is? Rendering is the process that web designers and developers use to take a web site design from design software (image form) and put it into web compliant computer code. You can think of it as translating the image to the computer so that it can draw it correctly in various browsers and across various operating platforms. All of our renderings will be compatible with IE7 and above and FF3 and above additional browsers must be specified in advanced and may increase cost.
Identity Packages
What is an identity anyway? An Identity is what defines a brand, sometimes referred to as branding. Think of McDonalds® or Coca-Cola® what images are instantly brought to the vision centers of your brain? The instant recall of this information just by words or vice-versa by seeing an image and associating it with the business. It's this association that designers are trying to create, that is infract the identity of the company and a lot of the time creates brand loyalty. Through colors, imagery and the repetition of them designers are able to create these associations. Believe it or not there is a little bit of a science to it, ever wonder why most fast food places have the colors red and yellow? Most people think that they use red simply because it is easier to see at a distance. While this is very true (in the human visual spectrum red has the largest wavelength), there is another reason behind it; a psychological one. Color theorists have come to find out that red and yellow actually stimulate the appetite! How's that as a little food for thought?
Do your clients even know who you are? Does your name say enough? How about your logo, does it explain what you do visually?
Most businesses already have a logo or at the very least their name in some sort of standardized font (also known as a word mark). A couple things to think about: Is it effective? Does it speak to the audience you are trying to reach? Does it convey aspects of your business in a visual manner so that people will associate it the services you provide? Is it clear and easily recognizable? Is it too much like another larger brand and confusing to the client? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to re-think your business identity. We can help!
