Intuitive Designs - Custom Web Design & Illustration Services

When we started this blog last year, we decided to have a rants and raves section where we would place one rant and one rave in the same post. Kind of like yin and yang, to balance each other out. So, here is our first rant/rave.

We have recently been getting quite a bit of attention for our recently re-designed site, so we would like to say thank you to all of the kind people who have mentioned us on their sites including:

I’ve seen it happen very often. Companies enter the internet market and want another way to get the most of their marketing dollars by getting as much information as they can from site visitors and potential customers. Not only does this provide a good deal of information for future marketing efforts, it also gives you viable measurements to know where your company is going. This seems like a good idea and seems to make sense.

I was looking over our site logs yesterday and realized that we are currently in the number 1 position in Google for a curious term and I just had to share. The term is “nicest website in the world”. Wow! Google must really like us! Although unintentional, it is kind of amusing, isn’t it?

Sometimes I remember how different things used to be when I first started working in a professional design studio, 20 years ago, and I have the impression that if the illustrators and designers from those days would have had the opportunity of foresee how technology would change our work we would have thought it was all science-fiction.

As many of you might have noticed, we have just finished the redesign of our site. We have tried to make it leaner, meaner, and more standards compliant and more beautiful visually. Koldo Barroso, one of the owners of the studio did the illustrations of the site and is currently available for illustration work. He can do just about any type of illustration you might imagine, so if you need something done, feel free to contact us!

We welcome and appreciate any feeback or suggestions you might have as well. Thank you!

It happens to all designers at least once in their career. You have a potential client that wants you to give them a few concepts, ideas, or designs before they hire you so that they can decide if they like the work first. Or, you are hiring a designer and want to hold a contest to pick your future designer. This is bad for both clients and designers. Visit the NO!SPEC site to find out why.
