When I designed the websites, I chose layouts that emphasized the pictures of the different locations. As a sand volleyball player myself, I would want to know what type of sand each location has. I also included plugin’s that would allow them to integrate Google calendar for their events, All-in-one SEO Pack and a gallery they can upload photos from their iphone. Each client we work with had different requirements for their website and we work with you to find your perfect solution.

Below are the options that we originally presented.

Option #1:

This option was primarily picture based.

Option #2:

This option I also provided a custom illustration for the header of the website.

Option #3:

This option took the sand “literally.”

Final choice:

They ultimately went with Option #2 – below is the final home page visit. They also had me add a custom text widget box to the home page, so they could change the Welcome message daily. You can visit the live Concord Sand Volleyball here.

Web design work:

After talking to Jamie about her website, we found she loved her e-commerce platform, Volusion, but wanted several design changes. No, problem we can do that. We sent several design ideas over to the owner, she approved one of the design choices and we in turn, programmed the new look.

Here is the old look:

Here is the new look:

The major change was the header  and sidebar design. This re-design allowed us to be able to switch out special marketing messages at the top of her site and in the sidebar. We also switched her email sign-up, so the customer would stay on the same page the entire time.

Facebook:

We have also been busy working with Cassavoy and Company on growing her Facebook presence. When we first talked with the owner their facebook page only had about 50 followers. We grew that page to have almost 300 fans through Facebook ads, a Facebook giveaway contest, and a Welcome page that shows a discount once “liked.” Below is a screenshot of the discount promotion.

We continued our work with Thousand Oaks Winery, located in Marble Hill, MO and designed this Rack Card for  to hand out at various trade booths. The goal was to keep with their classically designed wine labels and promote their view, location and contact info.

Wine label designs:

We were also excited to hear that they named a special edition wine, Willow, after our daughter.

The family business label design was inspired by the owner’s family history – he was the first one in his family NOT to be in the train industry.

This wine label follows their traditional wine labels – logo and label are the same, except for the name & grape.

This label was created from a photo of the winery owner’s parents wedding day.

You can see more Thousand Oaks wine label designs here.

Here are the three options (plus a bonus #4) that we presented to her:

Final logo:

While Jill really liked the above logo’s I presented, she ultimately chose to combine Option #1 and Option #4 (the bonus logo).

Below are the design options that I originally presented them. After I emailed them the designs, they took a week to think about it and scheduled another Skype chat. We talked over some design changes on their end and I sent them back a final design choice. Once chosen, we started the programming stage. Normally, I prefer to allow two weeks for programming, but they really needed this site to be up and running before they left for their big move to New Zealand. We sent them a URL to the site on the development site and they went through it. They had a few more suggestions and once they were made the new website for Moana Nui Designs LIVE.

Design Option #1:

This option is very similar to what the described in our talks. Big hero photo with room for blurbs of copy on the right and thumbnails of the categories below.

Design Option #2:

This option introduced a photo that went over the entire page, but still showed their featured thumbnails on the bottom.

Design Option #3:

This option is kept the hero shot as in #1, but introduced a sidebar to the home page.

Final Choice:

The final design is similar to Option #1, but included cart icons and a different style email button, as well as a tan colored background.

Samples of four inside pages:

Business card design:

Website design:

Flyer to pass out around town and a Facebook landing page:

Sticker design to be placed on merchandise:

“People may not recognize me, but they recognize my business card.  I get so many comments and compliments.  I designed my original business card, but it just didn’t look ‘professional’ compared to some others.  So I spoke with Rebecca about coming up with a new design.  I told her what I wanted it to say, what graphics, colors, even fonts…  I just wanted it better.   Becca patiently wrote down everything I said.  I told her I didn’t know how she was going design a good card with all of my restrictions but she explained that she would provide 3 drafts.  The first would be exactly what I wanted.  The second would be similar to what I wanted.  The third would be completely her own design.  I could choose my favorite and we’d take it from there.  When I received the drafts, I LOVED the first one.  It was exactly what I wanted, only better.  The second one was ok (but not as good as the fabulous first).  Then I looked at the third one and said “drat”.  I liked it the best (by far).  I sent all 3 drafts to my friends for their opinions.  It was unanimous.  They all liked the 3^rd one the best.  (Becca’s own design, not at all what I asked for).

Becca was so easy to work with, very patient, and VERY good at what she does.  I recommend her to anyone who wants their business cards, web site, brochures, and other marketing materials to look professional, giving the business a more successful look.”

Design Option #1:

Design Option #2:

Design Option #3:

Before redesign: King of Glory Lutheran School brochure

First, I met with their principal and talked through what materials they currently were using. Below are three examples:

After redesign: Postcard

Next we talked about who their target market was and their goals for each project. Based on these discussions, I first designed a direct mail piece to target the zip codes surrounding their school. I kept with their same color scheme, but added in complimentary colors to emphasize the diversity of their student body.

After redesign: Brochure

I followed the same look as the direct mail piece, but also included large pictures of their student body and included testimonials of their very happy parents.

After redesign: Poster

And the final piece I worked on was a Poster that could be hung in local stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

As I normally do with all projects, I provided three options for the client to choose from.

Option #1:

Option #2:

Option #3:

Final Choice:

After reviewing all three designs, the client ultimately picked the below. They loved the clean look that gave them the ability to feature all of the different facets of their company. See the final site at www.shoprung.org
