Our process begins with discovery — finding out about your business and what your goals for the project are.

All our projects begin by talking with you about your needs, goals and objectives for the project. We then brainstorm ideas and start working it out on paper, all before we even touch a computer. Our detailed process sets us apart from our competitors and provides truly creative results for your project.

Website Design Process

We create beautiful, clean and professional websites that speak to your audience and convey your brand image. In order to get results, we don’t just make websites that “look pretty” — we build custom website solutions around your business need.

We start by discussing what you want your website to do, and who your website is for. We dig into the specifics that set your brand apart from your competitors.

We provide excellent workmanship and fair prices for our services with a quick turnaround time. To begin a website project, we require all content (text, photos and images, etc) and a 50% retainer payment, before we can begin the design of your site. We require the balance due once the prototype has been approved before we upload your site to the web host of your choice. More details are provided with our quotation.

Our website process works like this:

1. Research
2. Content
3. Wireframing
4. Visual Design and Concept Presentation / Approval
5. Prototyping (a functional model of your site that you can “test drive”)
6. Implementation and deployment (coding & CMS)
7. Hosting and Maintenance (available if desired)

Optional Extras:

• Site Analytics
• SEO
• E-mail Marketing
• Social Media Strategy

Graphic Design Process

Printed materials that support your business image are a great way to cement your brand in the minds of your customers. We create compelling visual pieces that will resonate with your audience. We provide design for business cards, letterhead, brochures, annual reports and so forth. We can have the printing taken care of for you as part of a package or you can take the finished artwork to the printer of your choice.  Before beginning a print design project, we will need all text and images from you and a 50% retainer fee.

Our process for graphic design projects goes like this:

1. Define requirements and specifications of project, such as finished sizes, number of inks used, etc.
2. Layout text and images according to specifications
3. Client approval and request for changes
4. Finalize artwork and obtain final approval from client
5. Send for printing
6. Provide final printed piece to client

Corporate Identity (Logo) Design Process

Corporate identity design, otherwise known as logo design, is the process of exploring your brand and creating a visual brand and system that is used to represent your company. Contrary to some of the offerings in the marketplace, Frankenmedia creates identities that can be used in a variety of ways, not just a single logo graphic. Your corporate identity should be a visual system rather than a single graphic. We specialize in providing identity design for small to medium companies who are looking for professional branding on a smaller scale.

To create a Corporate Identity / Logo Design we:

1. Explore your “brand” and define who you are as a company
2. Create a logotype and symbol to represent your company (number of concept options depends on budget)
3. Refine logo and create an expanded visual system, such as usage guidelines, grid use and complementary visual elements
4. (Optional) Create a brand guidelines document
5. Provide logo files to client
