Web Site: www.primedeploy.com

Goals: Prime Deployment Technology Solutions is a new services company on the rise. With over 50 years of combined experience, their goal is to provide on-demand technology services to companies and individuals that do not have their own technology department. PDTS is also proudly minority and veteran owned. In order to get the new company off the ground, they recognized the need for some design work. PDTS approached us to design their logo, print collateral and web site. For their logo, we circled around the ideas of technology and the mentality of a small footprint from the owner’s time in the Air Force. Although each brings different visuals to mind, the two have the ultimate goal of streamlining the process. With this in mind, we put together an abstract, yet recognizable, representation of all the services that Prime Deployment offers their clients. We then took these ideas and created a cohesive print collateral package and web site to expand the brand. The web site is built to continuously grow as Prime Deployment grows.

Web Site: www.privateissuebycyberhair.com

Goals: International Hairgoods launched a new line of hair products and solutions called Private Issue by Cyberhair®. For this new launch, they needed a new web site. We helped make their vision a reality. The main focus of this site was on the different styles that are offered under the brand. In order to really captivate viewers, we turned the home page into a slightly interactive slideshow to capture interest in those styles from the start. We also added a lightbox feature to the individual galleries so that users can see the styles up close without leaving the web site.

Web Site: www.hopelakephotos.com

Goals: Hope Lake Photos was desperately in need of a portfolio web site redesign earlier this year. The photographer needed her web site to better focus on the images themselves rather than the design surrounding the images. After discussing ways we could achieve this, we also decided it was important for her to be able to update and manage the images that appear on her site. Taking both of those major needs into account, we created a minimalist design that offers a lot of functionality to the client. She now has full reign of her portfolio and potential customers have a very clear view of her images.

Web Site: www.northshoreacademyofthearts.org

Goals: North Shore Academy of the Arts is a well-known and respected, non-profit arts academy on Milwaukee’s North Shore. NSAA offers extra-curricular programs for students of all ages in the performing arts, visual arts and literary arts. Celebrating their 10th year in the community, a web site redesign was in order. We decided that adding online registration capabilities was just the way to grow in this 10th year. Not only does this streamline the registration process for students, but it also saves a lot of time on NSAA’s administrative end. The marketing director has also been expanding the academy’s internet reach by using social media tools. We wanted to make sure to tie these tools into the new web site… and we thought it was only natural to add blogging capabilities for the redesign. By having a blogging site, NSAA will be able to connect with their audience on a regular basis.
