A valuable aspect of your website is how well people respond to the site and remember it later. One of the best ways to distinguish how well your site accomplishes these important attributes and more is a critique. While it is great to have your mom, significant other and BFF take a look at your site and provide feedback, it is unlikely that any of your favorite people will be as honest and free with their critique as a total stranger. Not to mention, it is likely that those closest to you have inside knowledge about your company and/or website and will view the site with a well-intentioned but unavoidably biased eye. Lucky for us, there are a number of websites that offer solutions to this dilemma.

In this spirit of Spring, I bring you a blog post full of cheerful color. Today, I have for you a collection of colorful logos, some of which made the cut with clients and others that have sat quietly on my hard drive, waiting for their moment to shine. Until today. Today they are let free to glisten in the sun and catch your eye and all the other wonderful things logos are meant to do. Some will look familiar, as they sit proudly in the headers of various GetCreative designed websites, while others are new to the public eye. Contact us for logo design information and pricing. Enjoy!

Here at GetCreative I have worked with clients that have all manor of ideas and knowledge (or lack thereof) about their websites. Sometimes the easiest clients are those whose own careers are furthest from the realm of web design, so they are a blank slate for me to draw my ideas upon. On the other hand, a client who knows the ropes a little better may have a better appreciation for the creative process and all that it involves. No matter what the background of my clients, I follow a general Web Design Process for getting us from Point A, the clients’ interest in a website, to the ultimate Point B, a successful and effective website designed and executed by yours truly.

Baker’s Kitchen is a Wedding and Special Events Bakery in Richmond, Va. As a wedding photographer in Richmond I have had plenty of opportunities to sample the products of local bakeries, and rarely does the chance for free cake get passed by. In the past it was not uncommon for the creators of these towering fondant-covered confections to remain unknown to me- until I started planning my own wedding. Then I asked brides everywhere about the details of their vendors that I found enjoyable (and those that were not so enjoyable too, in order to avoid them). Baker’s Kitchen was a top answer from brides whose cakes were a treat to both look at and devour. It was not until November 2008, when my sister-in-law tied the knot, that I became more familiar with Baker’s Kitchen.

No, not these tools.
In addition to online and print resources, web design requires a good deal of technical equipment as well. From my computer to my camera with all the accessories that go with them, I have a small but powerful design arsenal here in my office. Some of these gadgets are travel-friendly, while others require me to to be securely fastened into my office chair before utilizing their abilities. Read on for a photo of my office and the details that make it work for me.

Help is on the way
I blogged recently about my favorite distractions on the web, and today I’m going to talk about the other end of the spectrum: resources. Both online and off, there are a plethora of inspiring and informative resources for web designers and business owners. I have broken this post into four categories of resources: inspiration, education, design tools, and performance.
