Design
There is a saying in the design world - " The best designs go unnoticed." This is ironic, but true statement. Good design is natural. Good design is clean. Good design does not stop you in your tracks. Good design just works. We're good designers. We understand composition, type, color theory and all of the other stuff that art school specializes in. Web, print or hybrid - we've designed them all. We are committed to the User Experience, and it all starts here.
Usability
Man, this one is personal. What is the point of a site that looks good but is unusable? Too often, basic usability and information architecture is sacrificed in the name of aesthetics. The simple truth is that both can and should coexist peacefully. As with good design, usability should be a given and natural. We specialize in digging people out of usability holes. We assess your current situation then give recommendations and develop action plans based on best practices (how's that for overuse of buzzwords in a sentence?). That's what we do and your site will be better for it. Period.
Branding/Brand Strengthening
What is your story? What is your voice? What is your message? What is your vision? The answers to these questions make up your brand. We specialize in helping to define your brand as well as helping to refine your current brand. A strong brand is a sales tool as it says so much about your commitment to overall quality and consistency. It is more than a logo. It is more than a font face. It is what you are to everyone else.
Code
We can code, oh yes we can, we can code with the best of them. We speak both geek and human so if you decide you need a "thingamajig that will keep up with your daily activities and list them on a site that you can get to from your phone", we know that a web-based calendaring system with a database back end that is optimized for WEP apps will probably help you out.
SEO and SEM (Search Engine Optimization and Management)
"Oh what a tangled web we weave..." Hate to break it to you, but there is no magic bullet to get to the top of Google. Anyone who promises otherwise or guarantees a specific number of hits is lying, Plain and simple. We know search engine optimization best practices and how search engines work. We won't promise a certain number of hits, but we will promise to do everything we can to get your site to those that need to find it.
