Good design is the basis for all that we do. While we are highly focused towards the web, print design is well within our capabilities.
Perhaps the cornerstone of a businesses' branding system is a quality logo. Add to that a business card an a letterhead/envelope set and you've set the groundwork for the rest of your marketing efforts.
The term 'print design' encompasses many different products and elements, but here are a few of the print projects we've been involved with:
Good writing makes all the difference, and it's through the written word that you'll first make contact with your prospective customers. It really pays off to have it done right, both in the professionalism you present, as well as providing optimal internet search results (SEO).
Our network of Shakespears
Spigot Design has an array of copywriting gurus to help you get it written right.
If any old picture is worth a thousand words, just imagine what a well composed, well lit picture is worth.
From semi-pro to ultra-pro
Spigot Design offers semi-professional photography services, but if you really want it done right, tap into our network of pros. They really know how to get it right.
The mother of all buzz words, SEO, isn't as mysterious as many would lead you to believe.
It starts with building it right
Spigot Design builds all of our sites with SEO in mind. From correct coding, to well written copy, we take quality search results seriously. We do it the right way, the honest way, and will steer you clear from practices that search engines poo-poo, and ultimately get you banned.
Now that you've spent effort and capital on a great website, the last thing you want to do is let it linger and go stale.
monthly maintenance packages
For those who will be using their website as an active part of their marketing efforts, we offer monthly web maintenance packages that fit your needs.
a-la carte updates (by the hour)
For those who need their site updated on a less periodic basis, we offer web maintenance by the hour. An hour or two is often all it takes to freshen up your site.
content management systems
Many people want the ability to update their site by themselves. We can design a site that offers a convenient way for you to perform updates yourself, with little to no knowledge of html necessary.
We can also take your existing site and place it within a CMS, as long as it meets certain coding requirements (We can't do this with a Flash based site, for example).
A high quality web site deserves equally high quality web hosting. Instead of being stuck on a web server with hundreds or thousands of other sites, we can host your site on a dedicated virtual server, with the resources to keep your site running fast and smooth, no matter how much traffic you get.
We only host sites that we personally build or maintain, which means you get the same dedicated customer service for your hosting plan as you did with your website.
cinch hosting
Cinch is a joint partnership between Spigot Design and Studio2, a design firm located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Together we serve our clients with the highest quality hosting, on dedicated virtual servers leased from Media Temple. If anything goes wrong, we're here to quickly and securely fix the problem.
For industries that work on a project basis or need to maintain a high level of customer contact, a project management system can really help facilitate communication. We specialize in setting up basic and custom installations of Project Pier, an open source PMS.
It's the system we use here, so if you hire us for another job, you'll get to see the Spigot Design project management system in action.
As you can tell, we’ve launched a new look to the site – a lighter, brighter version of Spigot Design for those who thought the previous design was too dark and brooding.
