Creative Design

"Good design must be defined by appropriateness to audience and goals, and by its effectiveness, not by its adherence to Swiss design or the number of awards it wins."

While we are happy to work with your designers, ad agency, or graphic design firm on the look of your new website, we are also extremely proud of the designs that our in-house team has created over the years. Our design team is skilled in all aspects of graphic web design and flash development and our entire team can work with you to create a look that supports your company image, provides clean navigation, and highlights your primary marketing message.

In our typical design process, we talk about your business, your goals, your image, how you differentiate yourself from your competitors and what you want people to do when they get to your website and let the design flow from there. A good place to start is with our design and navigation questionnaire.

Why No Templates?
When we first developed the Empoweren CMS system , some people said that we should offer design templates so that our customers could simply choose one and create their site within minutes. To some degree, using standardized web templates not only defies everything we stand for as a marketing company, but there are also many thousands available on the market for extremely low prices. So, if you want to utilize a template design, just Google "website templates" and you'll find sites that offer thousands of templates, most of which cost less than $100.

Multiple Designs from Which to Choose?
Another approach some firms take with design is to have their designers prepare a few different designs from which the client can choose. This sounds logical, but it can be a very time consuming (costly) process and often puts the decision making into the hands of business managers that have very little experience in website design. While we are happy to provide multiple designs, we still prefer to run through our standard process of learning your business, goals, marketing message, and the like and then designing a comp or two that we feel achieves these goals.
