 ketching out the Vision
...The initial visual impression should capture the essence of who you are and what you do. On the web, first impressions make all the difference.
...From our conversations in the first phase, we start to create the look of the site.
| Our work is based on the idea that it's the proper design that sets the tone, creates a strong and unified message, drawing the viewer into the site. |
|
...2 - 3 'sketches' are done of home page designs, & uploaded onto the Mintz Design site.
We send you a link to view them and see what you think.
It can be love at first site, or more of a 'give and take' editing process. |
