Marc Dorsett Designs... the Right Choice for Web Design

 

IT'S A FACT:
People form an opinion about your company in just seconds. Do you look pro? Stable? Capable? Does your website visually support the claims you make in your copy…or does it detract from your message and work against you?

 

What do you need?
What are your purposes and goals in creating a web presence? Every company has unique needs and values, and Marc Dorsett Designs takes the time to get to know you before creating your professional web design and site.

 

Certain things are missing from our portfolio page - like case studies. If we have to explain to you what we were trying to achieve for our customer on their site, then we kinda blew it, didn't we?  Our work says it for us - and you as our client.

 

...with the focus on actually building a site to do what YOU want it to do!

Snacking Our Way to Heaven

Mitera Foods developed a soft-baked granola that was truly unique in texture and flavor. They approached Marc Dorsett Designs to fulfill the needs for a new logo, complete packaging design and a colorful, forthright website to market their award-winning products.

Our first line of attack was creating the Mitera 'siren' as we call her, based on the CEO's concept for the company. This Business-to-Consumer site has the edgy look that is fun and light, yet the power of ColdFusion and a custom CMS to allow Mitera's management to keep up to date with content, photos and product sales online.

Marc's 'Golden Rules' of Creation:

Attention span.
Web surfers are trigger happy and have a short attention span. Give 'em what they want, do it fast and nobody gets hurt (in other words, they won't leave in the typical 7 seconds).

Easy navigation.
If they can't see where they are or where they want to go ~ quickly and easily ~ they're outta here.

Design balance.
Graphics and content should match your style. Flashing smiley faces and exploding neon colors don't sell anything unless you're into carnival supplies. They are like flies at your company picnic.

Use of multi-media.
Sure, we do the bells and whistles. We love them! But there is a time and place for those things, including flash. If it doesn't serve a real purpose, you will not find them in your site!

Browser compatibility.
What looks great on your browser can appear completely bizarre on someone else's. Marc Dorsett Designs makes you look good in every neighborhood!

Good content.
Years of literary wordsmith allows us to create exciting and relevant copy to make your site, superlative for your product or industry.

Get it right the first time and profitable for you.

That... is cutting edge!
