- Custom Website Design
  
  I create our websites from scratch using the best design techniques in the business. My designs use the finest elements of typography, usability, optimization, and colour profiles.
- Beautiful Graphic Design
  
  My graphic designs are custom-made and will scale without distortion across web and print. I always supply you with the original Photoshop or Illustrator files.
- Using Nature to Build your Colour Profile
  
  In nature, colours are well-balanced. My colour palettes are built around photographs and colours from the web - it's the stepping stone to building your corporate colour profile.
- Valid CSS/XHTML, Usability, Wordpress
  
  I code valid CSS and XHTML. This helps your website on many levels - it loads faster, is understood by search engine spiders, works in all browsers, and is very easy to integrate with any CMS such as Wordpress.
Logo Development

One of the most important first steps in developing an identity for your company is crafting a logo. My logo design process is simple and highly creative. I brainstorm with you and carefully listen to everything you have to say. I care about every detail.

- Branding Your Business
  
  Creating a brand is really about creating a message that you will share with your customers. I'll work with you to define your message and from there I'll create your identity website, logo, and print.
- Bright Concepts
  
  Designing and coding your site are just a small part of the development process. The main hurdle to overcome is finding that clear business concept. This ignites the whole process.
- Scalable Vectors
  
  I use vector graphics for all of our logo designs. Scalable vectors are used to put your logo on a business card, the side of a building, and on a website without losing sharpness or shape.
Branding & Identity

Creating an effective brand is something that requires experience. The design and marketing company you work with need to ask the right questions in order to get the right concept. By working with Brisk Studios, you will be tapping into years of experience in creating unique brand identities for our clients. Your dream is my reality. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

- Who Are You?
  
  Customers will develop an opinion of your brand within the first few seconds of viewing it. Make it the right impression. I can help you find the precise message to clearly speak to who you are as a company. It's the most important three seconds of your business life.
- Long-term Brand Recognition
  
  I like to think long-term. Where will your company be in the next two to five years? What about five to ten years? I can help you develop a brand that will upscale from a startup to a more complete corporate identity.
- Consistency Across the Board
  
  I'll create a corporate colour palette that will extend across your entire brand. From web to print to package design and advertising, your clients will recognize your company by the visual impressions you make.
Usability

Usability incorporates a wide range of web experience elements, from the way the customer's eyes glance through your site design, to the ease of navigating your site, to valid CSS and XHTML for fast loading pages and fast duplication of pages and content changes and SEO. All of these elements combined create a user-friendly experience.

- Flow
  
  Flow is how customers navigate your website. You can only discover this by tracking every click of every user. I'll set up software to track user flow so we can modify your layout to maximize your sales. I'll arrange your content to maximize the click-through to your most important page.
- Click Through
  
  I'll arrange your content to maximize the clicks through to your highest return product or most important page.
- Scale
  
  The most important aspect of designing for the future use of your site is to build your site to allow for additions to your site without having to redesign.
- User Experience
  
  User experience starts with the first impression of your site. From the colours, to the message, to the layout and scale, I create great user experiences and return visitors.
Graphic Illustrations

- Crisp Graphics for Web
  
  Though experience I have created an effective process to save your images to the web so that they are true to your colours, sharp and crisp around the edges, and very fast loading. Expect that process from me for any image made for the web.

  My creative design process allows me to start from a blank page, and quickly move to the final product by email correspondence. We will send you up to 3 rough drafts as jogs for review and comment before we finalize the logo.
- Inspired Design
  
  I created a company identity that incorporates our natural surroundings and inspirations.
CSS & XHTML

The reasons to use valid CSS and XHTML are many. From fast load times of your website, to SEO of your code, to easy of use, to fast and easy updates to your site, to the ability for disabled people and mobil user to access your site properly, to working on all browsers and future proofing your investment.

- Fast Loading Websites
  
  Studies have found that most people won't wait more than 4-5 seconds for a page to load before leaving a website. I make sure this doesn't happen.

  The code I use and produce is tested across all modern browsers for compatibility.
