We understand how difficult it can be to find good designers to trust with your brand. The whole process is overwhelming and it’s a mystery to determine which designer has better quality work, is easier to work with, and what to look for.

We have put together some features of what would make an ideal relationship for marketing and design:

• Are passionate about your business.
• Realize that your current website isn’t working for you. It isn’t generating enough sales, converting visitors into customers, reaching enough people, etc. Or, you need to expand your existing business into the online world.
• Are tired of feeling embarrased when you hand out your cards and flyers.
• Need to look good to your industry peers, outshine your competitors, and impress your customers.
• Have a vision and a clear idea about what you would like your website to do for you. You are focused on results and the big picture.
• Are ready to invest in a professional design solution and as such, are willing to give enough creative freedom to our team to provide the best solution we are capable of.
• Have done your basic research and know that a website is a business investment that needs a measurable ROI in order to be considered successful. As such, you have a realistic timeframe and budget in mind for your project.
• Value collaboration and are good at providing and receiving input during each step of the process. You realize this will also require some effort on your end and are willing to make this effort to ensure a successful outcome.
• Accept that having a quality website that generates results comes from a multi-step process that requires time and planning.
• Want a solid solution using a ground-up approach. Rather than implementing shortcuts, you realize that the best solutions require a fair amount of planning and work to establish the foundation for success before the creative design stage has even begun.
• Might have worked with other designers before, but didn’t feel like they really cared about your business, that they failed to capture the essence of your business, or you just felt like the process was more difficult and painful than it should have been.

• Don’t just make things look “pretty”. Our job is to help build you a web presence that not only looks good, but also helps you achieve your business goals.
• Do what we say and say what we’ll do. You won’t be left in the dark about your project.
• Always look for the best solutions possible. We try our hardest to find the best solution that fits within your project goals and budget. We don’t believe in proposing solutions without a strong reason for doing so.
• Deliver on time and on budget and keep you in the loop about how things are going.
• Will bring more than 15 combined years of experience to the table. If we think something won’t work or isn’t the best solution, we’ll let you know. On the other hand, if we have a solution that we think will work better than the original idea, we will propose that instead.
• Realize that building a web site isn’t just about the design itself. There are many things to consider that are just as important including marketing goals, your copy, the site content, the code, SEO, conversions, etc. We keep all these factors in mind when building your site.
