Having a custom Welcome landing page is a great way to give some style to an otherwise boring page.

Turn potential customers into returning visitors with a welcome page that matches your website. Add visual appeal with a slideshow, newsletter signup, or a special discount if they “Like” the page.

This is especially important if you have a blog on your site. Adding new text about your company, keeping contact information current and adding new posts to your blog will keep online traffic and search engines coming back regularly.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to have Content Management on your website. This allows you to update content when you need it, quickly and easily. Are you thinking to yourself, “I am not good with technology” or “I just do not have the time”? I hear this often when talking to clients about adding an online Content Management to their sites. My response is if you can use email programs such as Gmail, or use Word Processing software such as Microsoft Word, then you will be a pro in no time.

With drafts being automatically saved, backups of all your pages and a user-friendly interface, you can update your content with confidence. Did I also mention the great Search Engine Optimization tools it provides, like your website traffic being displayed as soon as you log in? If you are interested in learning more, please contact me.

With over 200 handmade pipes under his belt, it was time to create modern website that showcased his art.

The redesign focused on two major elements. The first was to give him an updated look to the site. The second being incorporating social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to promote his e-commerce store. Once the design was accepted, we focused on creating videos that were uploaded to YouTube.

Combining his amazing photography skills with embedded videos of the pipes, the site give his customers the best experience to buy his pipes online.

After have an initial consultation, we decided the current design was modern and fit their needs perfectly, except the ability to update some very out of date content. The website was converted to a Content Management and some new features like Custom Google Maps with driving directions were added.

The site also got some new Social Media additions with a link to their Facebook page and a custom Newsletter. The newsletter gives them reports on how many people have opened the newsletter, how many people have clicked to their website and handles email bounces automatically.

After some exchanges, it was decided while he liked the look of the site, he wanted an easy solution to keeping the content and portfolio updated. The site was replicated, while giving him the ability to update the content and galleries easily. Take a look at the finished product: www.azlandshapes.com

Her website can be found at humendi.com. To talk to Cindy gives me chills for her amazing take on life. Just talking with her gives me a reason to be and do something better with my life. I hope she considers me for one the first publications of her kit (the perks of being her web designer!).

I would like to personally thank you for the outstanding service you and Bdesigner Graphics recently provided to me.

There are no words to express what a wonderful job and what heights of service Bdesigner Graphics achieved on my website. I know very little about what it takes to make a website great, but it was clear from day one I was in good hands.

My experience with Bdesigner Graphics has exceeded my expectations in every way. Their designs are top notch, their people are talented and enjoyable to work with, and their knowledge and quality of work are exceptional. Not only was their professionalism and attention to detail second to none, but, based on my experience, their genuine concern for me as a client is truly rare within the web based industry.

I was originally working with another web developer, who designed my site without compatibility to run on several of the major browsers, citing “too much work” as an excuse for the omission. Bdesigner Graphics quickly stepped in and resolved all the problems within 45 minutes that the other developer said were too difficult to accomplish. I was truly amazed and relieved at the professionalism and talent with which Bdesigner Graphics assisted me. Furthermore, when Bdesigner Graphics heard of all the struggles I was having with my previous web developer, they offered their time and some upgrades to my site at no additional cost. Their integrity and desire to see the success of their clients is no doubt an attribute not often seen in the business world today.

A simple ‘thank you’ does not cover the gratitude I have for Brandon and Bdesigner Graphics. I told them that I wanted a web site that would blow people away, and that is just what they did! I want everyone who reads this to know that I would recommend Brandon and Bdesigner Graphics to anyone who wants an A+ web site at a fair price. You have earned a life-long customer and someone who will spread the word about what an amazing company Bdesigner Graphics is.

Sincerely,

Brandon McBrien

Not being able to volunteer in person, I have volunteered my services to update two of their websites, Red Ribbon Resale and The Red Party.While usually given specific ideas to work with, I was given complete creative control over this site. The Tiffany Blue was inspired from a line in the Eartha Kitt song, and the disco ball and glove was from their advertising posters.

A simple, but very fun site to work with, and it supports a great cause for the community.
