ABOUT US

We have had the privilege of working with a wide range of great companies from Southern California to Europe. Our clients include both small startups and Fortune 500 Companies. From construction developers to restaurant owners, from ball parks to salons, Sketchbox Design offers something for everyone.

In every project, we give our client something unique, eye-catching, and professional. The idea is to create a brand that well represents the business and connects them with their customers.

Our core experience is in Graphic and Web Design. Our sites create web presence by using online marketing techniques, and the Brand is continued through the use of Logos and Print Materials.

Our sites are often described as unique and original, incorporating rich media, video, animation, pictures, and sound. Add in some occasional humor and whimsy, and voila! Many of our projects have won awards for design, originality and user friendliness.

Our goal is to continue appealing to those who want a brand and web site that stands out as being special. At the same time, we strive to offer our services at a price point that is attainable for anyone who is serious about good design and the representation of their business.

PROCESS

The starting point is often the Brand Design, since it is really the cornerstone of everything else. This is a very creative process that includes forming a core concept, or style, that best visually represents the company in question.

We work closely with owners and their employees to solidify the idea and then bring it to fruition. This period of creativity may include interviewing clients or regular patrons of the business to determine what is important to them in deciding to frequent the establishment, or use the service. Once we have this clear in mind, and we fully understand the business and the unique market they're trying to appeal to, various Brand options are created and discussed in detail with the client.

Once the Brand is determined and created, then we incorporate the brand styling into the web site, print materials, advertisements, etc, so that every visual representation of the business looks like it belongs with the other, and the company as a whole is "captured" seamlessly.

In the case of the Web process, as stated above, we build it according to the selected Brand styling. Our clients often provide the text that is to be included in each page of the site, or sometimes they use us to provide the copy for them. Either way, we make sure that the wording is professional and eloquent.

We then provide visual concepts of the finished site so that the client can get a very accurate idea of how the finished product will look. Once we receive approval, we then build and code the site accordingly. Once the site is completed, we offer a monthly service to market the site.

The process can continue further with Mobile versions of the site for use on such devices as iPad™, iPhone™ and Android™, etc. Blog designs, SEO, adword and email campaigns, advertisements, custom applications, CMS systems, are all available options.

We would be happy to discuss your particular needs, and assess how our services might by useful to your organization.

TECHNOLOGY

Many of the online solutions we have built, feature Rich Internet Applications (RIA's), or the combination of graphics, video, animation and sometimes music.

This combination is being used by some of the biggest names in business, such as Sony, Coca-Cola, GE, Audi, E-trade, Starbucks, Microsoft, NBC, and many others. The advantage to RIA's, is that they provide an excellent user experience, verses just a list of information.   Often, this technology is used to build much more robust systems that provide very powerful online tools.

By combining this method, with other traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly techniques, we are able to create sites that are not only well placed on Google, but also are visually interesting.  

RESULTS

We want you to get the most out your advertising dollars. We're proud of the fact that our web sites and brand marketing is often referred to as "amazing" and "eye-catching". Our clients love the work we do for them.

At the same time, we are helping them to increase business, streamline their processes, increase traffic and raise their search engine ranking. In fact, we have helped several of our clients to rank #1 in Google for some very competitive terms.

This translates to increased sales and publicity, and has enhanced their reputation along the way.

We regularly save our clients thousands of dollars when it comes to print design and online marketing.

By keeping an interest in our client's bottom line, we are constantly looking for ways to be efficient, both in design and production.

We'd be happy to show you how we could save you money and increase your advertising efficiency as well.
