Don’t let a poor impression prevent your business from achieving success! Try us for incredible website design in Vancouver.

Good Quality Graphic Design is Vital for a Website to be Successful

We offer top-notch website design in Vancouver; you can rest assured knowing you’re working with local professionals.

Your website’s success is based largely on its uniqueness, the content, and the over-all visitors’ experience, when compared to your competitors. We specialize in helping you stand out amongst the others.

The Three Basic Types of Graphic Design

You instinctively know what the three are — image-based, typographical and image plus type design. For image-based design, the idea is to take a powerful image, whether it is light-hearted or compelling, and create a strong brand impression around it. These images can be drawings, photographs or digitally designed pictures, as long as our graphic design team in Vancouver can create a complete message from it.

In typographical design, the visual message comes across with words alone. The designer works through the creative use of type, style, color and the placement of the words. With image plus type design, a combination of these two styles is balanced to create a message that is both powerful and eye-catching.

What Goes On Behind the Scenes?

Before we get started on your project, we will do a lot of research. Who are your competitors? Who is the audience for this piece? What sort of trends can be used to suit your brand and style? Do you have an established brand? How about your strategic marketing plan? Even though our research is extensive and may be time-consuming, it’s also a vital step towards creating a piece that communicates to the right demographic and isn’t anywhere close to your competitors. We intend to deliver the best graphic design Vancouver has to offer.

How About a Bit of History

What is graphic design? Throughout mankind’s extensive history, visual communication has almost always been present. From the intricate and detailed manuscripts of the Middle Ages to our present-day computer generated imaging, graphic design is simply creativity that produces a visual message for a specified audience.

The first use of the term ‘graphic design’ in print was by American book designer William Addison Dwiggins in 1922, and was used to describe the process of creating visual communication. Graphic designers in today’s society can take a particular image and shape your message around it simply and easily.

Our brains are wired to see colors and shapes before deciphering written words, which is why graphic design is so popular. In 1994, Wonderbra designed a billboard around the now-iconic image of model Eva Herzigova, which featured her picture, the company’s logo and two words – “Hello Boys.” Very little was used in the way of wording but the visual image was strong; so strong, in fact, that the advertisement caused several traffic accidents and had women all around the world clamoring to look just like Eva.

The graphic design was simple yet incredibly effective, just as all good design should be. For graphic design in Vancouver, our goal is simple: to bring you the best services available, no matter what. Our design firm starts by learning as much about your brand as possible, your goals and your requirements so we can determine which services are best for your exact needs. During this process, we’ll also find out what you aim to achieve from the design, like more sales or a better product offering. Each piece of this discussion will be covered in our Creative Brief for the graphic design before we get to work.

Website Development Has to Follow the Website Design

Your company’s website can be the strongest marketing tool at your disposal, which is why it’s of critical importance your site is responsive, integrative, fast-loading and has a cutting edge over your competitors.

A website should be designed to interact with your customers on a daily basis while still showing your unique brand and personality. With the right marketing strategies, your website alone could generate more traffic and sales than other kinds of marketing tools combined. We know what it takes to get you the absolute best website development in Vancouver, and our team’s knowledge can take you from start to finish in a professional, timely manner.

Our Programming Experience

When it comes to website development, one of the best platforms we use is WordPress. This provides our clients with the design flexibility and cost efficiency they need the most from the development stage and beyond. Our WordPress designers can create brand-new themes for your website, or use existing WordPress qualities for a variety of site installations.

WordPress currently has over 25 million users worldwide, which makes it the most popular content management system (CMS) available today. It’s easy to learn, simple to use and has a large network of developers that are able to provide templates and themes at no cost to you. When it comes to website development in Vancouver, there’s really no going wrong with WordPress.

When it comes to size, WordPress is one of the smaller CMS platforms available but it reaches far and wide. One of the biggest selling points is the overall price point when compared with other development tools, which means it will most likely comply with your company’s budget. Some of the biggest names in business use WordPress, too, like Forbes, Sony and CNN.

Our customer service will continue; we hope your experience with our Vancouver website development will bring a smile to your clients around the globe.

What really is Search Engine Optimization, aka SEO?

If you own a website, one of your first priorities should be to familiarize yourself with what SEO is all about and how it can benefit your business.

In short, SEO is the practice of directing visitors to your website by making small or sometimes large changes to what the search engines look for when it comes to your site. Right keywords are important to this process, as well as the relevancy of your content; they are essentially what drives traffic to your site in less time than traditional methods.

The practice of implementing SEO for your website could consist of tweaks such as creating unique page titles, optimizing your content with keywords relevant to your industry or business, or improving the structure of your URLs, and when viewed altogether your site will jump in the ranking of organic search results. We offer successful, local search engine optimization in Vancouver, which means you know exactly who is working on your website at all times.

Why Your Website Needs It

You might be unaware of this, but there is a direct relationship to your search engine ranking and your business sales. Are you getting the traffic you want to hit the sales numbers you need? If not, then search engine optimization in Vancouver is your best bet at increasing your bottom line.

SEO is a critical component of your marketing strategy, and without it you might not see the sales you want, or need. Having a great-looking website is a good start for your business, but without traffic and visitors you won’t make the sales or increase your brand’s visibility. Your target audience is always our first consideration when we develop your website’s SEO strategy; they will view your content first, and are more than likely using search engines to find you.

Search engine optimization is an important part of what we do, and our SEO experts have years of experience with search engine results and how to make them work for you. We have an endless passion for SEO and a constant drive to help your site climb higher in the search results.

Our experienced and professional SEO specialists will work with you to utilize the best strategies and techniques that will guarantee traffic to your site. With the right optimization, we can help your business enjoy huge profits and strong visibility to potential clients or customers.

We develop our websites with SEO in mind from the beginning, and always include on-site SEO best practices with clean, standards-compliant HTML5 markup. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Why We Love Content Management Platforms

WordPress

WordPress is not only an incredibly user-friendly platform from which to build websites, but there’s a reason millions of users love it for their brand or business – Google loves WordPress! Since switching to WordPress for site development, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in the search results that occurred from its use. This is due to a ping that WordPress sends to all major search engines every time an update is made to your site, increasing your visibility and enhancing your overall search engine optimization (SEO).
