Graphic Design
When it comes to design, it's all about the message. Whether a simple advertisement, custom invitations, promotional materials, or a full blown corporate identity project, you'll be in good hands from concept to print. Visit the portfolio page to view some recent projects.
Web Design and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
While the free tools provided by internet hosting companies may be fine for personal sites they can't compare to a custom built website that a business needs in order to attract customers. You won't find templates here. All sites are built from scratch and designed to fit your needs and your budget.
Your website can only deliver your message if potential customers and clients can find it. That's where search engine optimization comes in. Your site will be designed to look good, not just to viewers, but to the "spiders" that the search engines use to "crawl" websites. Proper metadata will be incorporated and copy will be written in a search engine friendly manner.
Whe completed, your website will be attractive, search engine friendly, and easy to navigate. If you'd like to keep track of the activity on your site, Google Analytics can be added at no additional cost.
Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy Training
Make the most of Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy with training custom tailored to the needs of you and your staff.

Adobe InDesign / Adobe InCopy / PDF Workflow Consulting
If you find yourself saying "there's got to be a better way to get this job done," there usually is.
Your current methods will be examined and replaced with state-of-the-art, highly-efficient workflow procedures. With the proper training and support, you'll be on your way to cutting large amounts of time from your projects all while eliminating wasteful practices such as marking up printed proofs.
With InDesign, InCopy and Acrobat properly integrated into your workflow you'll wonder why you waited so long.
File Conversions and Templates
So you've decided to move from Pagemaker, QuarkXPress or even Publisher to InDesign but you still have a full library of legacy documents, templates and stylesheets? The good news is that there are ways to open most of those files in InDesign.
Unfortunately, because of incompatibilities between the various applications, the conversions are usually less than perfect and leave you with "dumbed down" styles, re-flowed text and various other items that need to be fixed.
Properly constructed files will take advantage of InDesign's nested styles, advanced number and bullet lists, character styles, table and cell styles, and object styles. Your new files and templates will get you started on the fast track to a better workflow.
PDF Forms
Are your clients or customers greeted with a clipboard and forms to fill out when they visit you? Then once they do, do you "enjoy" the task of deciphering unreadable handwriting or having to manually enter data into "the system?"
Why not enter the 21st century and allow them to download and fill out interactive PDFs forms that can be emailed to you? They'll be happy to be able to do it in advance and you'll have electronic versions instead of reams of paper. These PDF forms are perfect for medical or legal practices.
You'll save a few trees and lots of time. Click here for a sample.
