Holiday Slowdown
“During the holiday season most design agencies come to a slowdown once the Christmas advertising has been finished. While business is picking up now I expect it to slow down soon. During this slowdown Adam and I have decided that we are going to work on our new ARC website. The ARC Design site you see now is one that I designed in about 2 hours, then showed it to Adam, and he made a few tweaks to it. We published it over our holding page when we first opened our doors. We had to get something up quick because Adam was already selling websites. Imagine that, Adam sold websites for us, a web design company only having a holding page.
Almost three years later we feel like it is time to show off what we can do. We are building award winning sites every week and we need a website for ARC Design that showcases our talents. The new website will have a dynamic flash area and we are going to use ourselves as the prime example of how powerful video can be on a website. Hopefully we can get this site live by February. Launching 2-3 sites a week puts a strain on doing work for ourselves but we have to do it.
If you are looking to redesign your page yourself please at least consult a professional to learn a few things that you can do to help your search engine positioning. I have seen websites fall off searches completely after a website redesign. Or you can come to ARC and we will handle it all for you, all you have to do is sit back and relax.”
2007 Davey Awards
My company ARC Design received word last week that we had won another award. A silver Davey Award to be exact. This is the second international award that we have won this year, 15th so far this year. We should be getting our 8 GD USA awards back this coming week from the framing shop. We are getting them framed at Ty’s Gallery, Ty Barnes is the man and he always takes care of our awards so if you are in the Fayetteville NC area go check him out. International Awards are always cool to win because you know you are up against a lot larger talent pool and the competition these days is amazing.
On another note, Amanda Inderbitzen is leaving ARC Design. She was an intern with ARC while she was finishing her BA at Campbell and she worked full time with us until she was accepted at UNC for some masters work. Wanting to be closer to school she got a job at a not for profit in Chapel Hill NC. We wish her the best in all she does and we know she will work hard and achieve her goals no matter what because she is a very smart girl.
A little less than 100 days and I will be a dad, now that is better than the awards and all the chocolate pizza I can eat, I can’t wait!
