Initial Consultation
In our first meeting we get an in-depth understanding of the nature of your company and help determine the materials you need produced. Who is your audience? What are you trying to say to them? What is the personality of your organization? What can we do to help your organization thrive?

Proposal
We send you a proposal specifying the details of the project and costs. Proposals are based on an estimated number of hours and specific deliverables. After working through the first few projects together, most clients prefer to work on an hourly basis. With your signature and deposit, you secure a place on our production board.

Creative
Our creative team goes into the Think Room where we review notes from our initial consultation, then turns them upside down and inside out. One designer and/or programmer is assigned the project to bring the concepts into reality. The product is reviewed internally by the team before being sent to you for the first review.

Presentation and Revisions
We give you the first draft in person for your review. You pick one design, or components of several designs, to combine into one. We listen to your comments on revisions to layout, colors, fonts, image treatment, et cetera, and work them into the design for the next iteration. We solicit your input to make sure our creative vision matches yours.

Reproduction/Publishing
Once the design portion of the project is complete...

Print
We send files to a select group of printers. We guide your project though its final phase. We will review your job when it is completed and ensure that quality has been maintained through the manufacturing process before calling you.

Web
Our programming team applies a most-cryptic language to translate the design into user interface nirvana on the web. They add in the forms, the calendars, the oohs and the aahs. Databases are created.
