Before & After: Part 2

(For more before and after websites, see Part 1 and Part 3.)

Here is it, the second installment of before and after screen shots of websites that have been redesigned by GetCreative. The amount of change varies depending on the needs of each client, some receiving an entire new look while others just needed an update. Enjoy!

Baker’s Kitchen is a wedding and specialty cake bakery in Richmond, Va. I first encountered Baker’s Kitchen at my sister-in-law’s wedding, and contacted them soon after. With so many gorgeous cakes to display, photos were a high priority in the design of this site. The client had also recently ordered new business cards, which is where much of the inspiration for the color and the logo were derived from. I love the whimsical and sweet quality of this site- perfect for such a great bakery!

Royce Overton at Computer Rescue contacted me after coming across another site I had designed in the same industry. Because I promise each of my clients a unique, individual site design, the challenge with this site was to create a look that was reminiscent of the design Royce liked, but with its own distinct personality. The red and white and blue colors came from the owner’s unusual vehicle: and ambulance converted into a computer repair truck, which also serves as a moving billboard for the company. The logo was recreated based on a previously existing logo, with a few embellishments.

Campaign to Save Honor is a group dedicated to revitalizing and improving the Honor System at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. The colors for this design were an easy pick, going with UVA’s Orange and Navy Blue color scheme. The group had a significant amount of text that needed to be included in the site, so we used limited photos and created a clean and organized structure for the textual content.

All About Family was referred to me through another client, and we seemed immediately to be a great match to work together. President Dianne Inman recognized that their site was failing to compete with other businesses in their industry, so we set out to remedy that. With the client willing to start from scratch, the first element of this design was a new logo. To go with the simple, sleek logo we chose to work with a brighter, sunnier color palette. Choosing stock photos that tied in with both the colors and the content of the site was instrumental in completing the look. After the addition of a Site Map and some SEO work, the All About Family website is now well equipped and able to contend with competing companion care agencies.

Thank you to my wonderful clients for allowing me to use their before and after shots. We’ll be back with more transformations soon!
