Why choose Shadowbend Studios?
I speak to a good deal of people regarding the issue of art, illustration and especially web design. I have been blessed to have a large percentage of those people contract with me as clients.
There are two main threads that seem to run through the conversations I have with people who are looking for a designer. The first being something along the lines of "...I know this person who has a brother who does web design on the side...". Sound familiar? Are your eyes rolling back yet? This is a perfect example of the old adage "You get what you pay for". Sure, you MIGHT be able to find a decent designer who designs as a hobby or "on the side" but why take that chance? If you are a professional looking for a designer for your business then doesn't it make sense to contract with a professional designer?
Working with a professional designer means that you have the confidence that comes from a company that utilizes a set procedure for managing your projects including documented proposals, a consistent estimating processes and of course, contracts which spell out every detail of your project from completion dates to price breakdowns to a list of deliverables. The designer you choose should be accountable, dependable and confident in their ability to take your project from concept to creation.
Something else I hear constantly are the stories of business people getting involved with a web designer who is an artist but not a programmer, or they will contract with a programmer who can't take care of the design end of things, thereby necessitating contact with separate individuals or companies to get projects finished. Most people have friends or at least know someone who is either artistically inclined or very tech savvy but not necessarily both. Also, and let's be honest here, most of us also know people who spend so much time developing their creativity or technical knowledge that they find it hard to relate to and converse with people in a comfortable way. There are few things that are more frustrating than having someone "talk down" to you because they cannot communicate effectively.
Shadowbend Studios, on the other hand, is truly your "one stop" studio for design work. From graphic and web design to animation, photography and technical illustration, Shadowbend Studios can take your project from concept to creation. I have years of experience as an artist, illustrator and designer as well as a sound technical knowledge in computers, networking and the architectural aspects of web design such as hand coding in HTML and XHTML and the utilization of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript and PHP programming. My knowledge base continues to expand through the attendance of workshops, classes and seminars made available by organizations such as the American Institute of Graphic Artists (AIGA), the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), the International Webmasters Association (IWA), and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, many of which Shadowbend Studios holds professional membership.
So, if you are looking for a competent, professional, creative and technically knowledgable design studio, as well as a designer who will meet with you and present his concepts in a plain, straight forward manner, give Shadowbend Studios a call and allow me give your project the professional skill and attention it deserves.
I look forward to hearing from you.
