Graphic Design - Logo's

Believe it or not, a logo can really make or break a business. Sometimes to win the customer over all it would have taken is a look that was truly yours. This DOES NOT mean using a "rare" font and calling it done! To design a great logo you need to think a lot about what you really are trying to portray your company as being. All of business to some effect is a bit of smoke and mirrors and it starts with the logo. Many logos say "I'm HUGE" while others say "Mom&PopRus" yet still others say "my owner is TIGHT". To prevent the later of the three from being you, action must be taken, and yes, it is more then just passing the buck to some poor unsuspecting designer out there. Think about it, this is your impression to the world! If first impressions ever meant anything to you, then you should understand this is your first impression tool! Sitting beside your name choice and branding options, this is the image that represents you everywhere you go. All too often there are companies out there that are so involved with the "fine" details of running a business, that they forget to address the very fundamentals that drive it. Here at Dirty Dog Web Design we take this issue VERY seriously and are extremely particular to making sure that everything has a nice "polished" look. This means choosing colors for your logo that are both soothing to the eyes, but fitting to your productation. How would it look if HotTopic did their logo in pastel pink? Now you see our point. So, if you want your first impression to be a great impression, get in on our logo design service! There are tons of examples for you to look at and we can use any images you want in a totally custom configuration.

Graphic Design - Branding

• It IS:
  1. Banners illustrating in-house deals
  2. Colors to suite your business vertical
  3. Special offers and slogans for your products
  4. Catchy displays of products in a unique way
  5. Use of font choices throughout the ENTIRE SITE that MATCH!!
• It ISN'T
  1. Going to a website you compete with and right clicking to save "their" ads
  2. Trying to find out how many different fonts it takes to break a browser
  3. How sick you can make your customers with color choices
  4. Binging/Bonging/annoying as hell ads in every empty space you could find
  5. this is a big one....a RIDICULOUSLY overdone flash animation with a 5 second music sample
  6. Having a music player going in the background that refreshes every time you click something
  7. Using as many product pictures as you can find on the front page
  8. Missing a great logo to go with it
  9. Meant to confuse  your customers or overwhelm them into leaving
  10. The skin or containers of your portal...although they go hand and hand
  11. Last but not least...you really don't have to stamp a cows hide with an iron to get it done...at least not this type :) (We're PRO cow over here)

So, what does this mean to you? Well it means you need to show your own style online. The straight "out of the box" look of most websites was "cool" for like the first 2 years of the internet's existance. Now that everyone and their brother has the same look, you need to go the extra mile if you want to gain the trust of your potential customers.

Graphic Design - Skinning (the look of a website)

The design of a website can make all the difference in the feeling a customer will have about your company. This is THE first impression tool that represents your business before anyone even reads a single word of your content. Most companies will have a designer work closely with them to come up with a look that really represents their intent and goals. Dirty Dog Web Design can take almost any existing design you may have or work with you to come up with one. Either way, getting the look of your new website "just right" is critical and we're here to help!

Business Strategy and Planning

Much of what goes into developing a website comes directly from the company or individual it is being developed for. What do we mean by this? We mean the real core of a website is a direct representation of careful, or NOT so careful planning! Dirty Dog Web Design is here to help individuals and businesses get on track with a solid plan using strategies that are proven to work. We will work together to identify ideal demographics, search engine placement tactics and budget for the website allowing for goals to be set and met along the way. Every website needs a benchmark to gauge the success of it. We are here to help establish that benchmark and meet your goals!

Project Management

Dirty Dog Web Design utilizes state of the art technologies to manage our website projects. We have a task management system that keeps every project on track and on time. We prefer to manage the projects ourselves, but we will allow outside project managers to utilize our system too. During the course of any website project, there are multiple entities that all come together to work out functionality and design tasks. A strong project manager is able to keep the designers and developers from an all out war whilst keeping the clients goals firmly in sight. This is not for the faint of heart and generally represents the largest challenge in any website project.
