2013 Design Charity Project
We’re proud to announce we’ve completed the 2013 Web Design Charity project we offer every year for Movember (nothing beats Web Design with a mustache). This yea, we continued our trend and chose to work with Zana Fund, a 100% volunteer based organization that helps businesses in third world nations raise enough capital to grow and prosper. Our team designed a simple and clean event oriented site as well as a ticket for the event. There’s still time to make the event (November 28th!) if you’re interested. Get down to Commonwealth Bar and donate some money to a good cause. November seems to be the charitable month before we move into the heavy Christmas season.

Actually Useful WordPress Tips
We love WordPress but without a doubt there are some bits and pieces of it that just cause us to throw up our hands in vain and want pound our keyboards into oblivion when tweak after tweak, revision after revision fails to change the one little thing we’ve been trying to do FOREVER. Below we’ve included three of things we’ve found most annoying when learning WordPress and so our client can avoid some of the bumps and bruises when trying to modify their website to make it look a little better. Removing the Info Box on Google Map Embeds Google Maps is great and doesn’t steer you down one way roads the wrong way (unlike that dangerous/semi-suicidal Apple Maps!). The issue arises that when you insert or embed a Google Map on your WordPress site either via HTML or sometimes plugin, the little info box over the pin that you’re […]

We appreciate all of our client’s business and their varying acceptance of our crazy design ideas!

At this stage we’re ready to evolve and move into a full blown digital agency capable of handling everything from web to advertising to video. If any of our previous client liked our web work (there’s got to be at least one!) we’d be thrilled if […]
Logo Design: The Missing Piece in your Branding
Without a doubt logos are some of the most commonly overrated and underrated elements in branding. This apparent paradox arises partially due to the fact that a logos are perhaps the one of the oldest forms of communication in human existence and have therefore had many twists and turns and ups and downs throughout history as effective, annoying, powerful, meaningful, overused, abused, misrepresented and reused. What?! Says the reader. Logos haven’t been around since caveman times -– there are no stick drawings of Neanderthals developing carpal tunnel syndrome while agonizingly etching out a logo of a wooden club in Adobe Illustrator. This is ridiculous. Let’s analyze what we mean by logo; a symbol attached to a meaning. In this context, logos have been around for thousands of years. Stick drawings in their own sense are symbols attached to a meaning. A stick man holding a stick spear has a meaning […]
