The What, The Who, And The How
How Do I Hire The Right Graphic Design or Website Design Company To Help Me Market My Business?
It starts with rapport and the portfolio. Can you work with this designer? Are they in sync with you? Does the look of their portfolio and client list match your expectations? Can they demonstrate knowledge and experience? If you feel good about the answers to these questions, you’ve probably found the right designer.
What makes About350 unique in a sea of design companies?
Personal consultation and service are the nucleus of our core values. We believe it is the best way to truly understand a client’s needs, and provide the best possible results. Because of this, most of our clients have been with us for years.
Whether your brand is big or small, a mature sequoia or newly sprouted, About350 can work with you to visually articulate and market your company’s product, goal or process.
Need an idea, direction or concept? Sometimes a client doesn’t know what they want, or for that matter, what they need. Let us consult with you from the infancy of your project. With our creative consulting services we can offer ideas, provide direction, or just brainstorm with you.
