The Process

Design projects begin with a discussion of what is needed and what is wanted and what to do if the two are incongruent. We will talk about practical matters such as deadlines and budget requirements, and we will delve into a creative conversation about ideas and images, colors and fonts, form and function, style and essence.

Once we agree to work together, we draft several design ideas for you to see and choose from. You may like all of one design or specific qualities of different designs. If the latter is the case, we draft a second set of designs that combine these preferences.

Web Site Projects. When the basic design elements have been determined (logo, font, colors, look and feel of the web site), the project moves into a second stage. We create the web pages and integrate their funtional features, then post a your-eyes-only first draft of the site live online. A thorough edit and testing of the site will take place, and all necessary changes and refinements will be made. When editing is complete, we will take the site live and public.
