+
Smooth and appropriate transitions between pages
+
Extremely visual – great product close-ups and online shopping experience
+
Successful shopping checkout; easy to use and well branded within the rest of the website

Why LOGO?

Logo International Design & Marketing

+ Impressed by the great atmosphere their designers get to work in!

Logo Design | Workplace

+ Great idea to have a simple form for their potential clients to fill out and in return they will receive a more detailed design brief right away. Very helpful for both ends !

Why Third + Grand?

third & grand | beautiful web design

+ Straight-forward, truthful web design company
+ New favorite design quote,

“Remember, you can get a haircut at Fantastic Sam’s for $8.00 or at the salon for $140.00. Same basic idea, much different results.”

Not all customers are looking for a fabulous website, and many are looking for a great website at a cheap price. Sometimes, you get what you pay for! Third & Grand really puts their best foot forward, giving potential clients a lot of information up-front without even having to contact them.

Boys & Girls Club | Catalyst Studios

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cites by Catalyst Studios

Why Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities?
+
Fits the client’s purpose and mission to a “t” – design focused on kids. We see this through the little details such as: tape holding page sections up (not literally :P) notebook paper accents and scribbles throughout the website.
+
Read my story windows on homepage – neat scroll bars!
+
Consistent section layout on each page – gives the user a sense of what to expect in particular areas

Why Catalyst Studios?

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities | Catalyst Studios | Website Design

+ I visited their studio last year and their website reflects the same personality I saw then – their studio has green walls, and many playful aspects to it. Great job branding overall!
+ Their about us page is fab! They showcase their team individually which makes the design experience personal
+ Using sticky notes, Catalyst allows their visitors to leave them messages and place them wherever they feel the need to chat :) I left one this morning while writing this! Hope they checkout their review
+ On the homepage, they change up the feature project to make each visit to their website a fresh and fun experience
