  • Web strategy
  • Web design
  • Web standards & compatibility

We customize a web strategy to fit your specific needs and goals.

There is no “one size fits all” web strategy. We get that a small suburban retailer probably has different priorities than a large national nonprofit, and we care about each client’s individual needs. We spend extensive time getting to know your organization, your audience and your goals, then constructing the ideal web strategy for you. For each new website, we customize a content management system (CMS) that is a snap to update, saving you time and money.

We make websites that showcase your organization’s brand and voice.

We see your website as a continuation of the brand identity you’ve worked so hard to develop offline. We combine our web savvy with our graphic design and copywriting powers to keep your brand consistent from print to web.

We stay hip to web standards to deliver the best user experience.

Technology is constantly changing, and we keep pace with it to ensure your website meets current usability and compatibility standards. We have your audience in mind through each step of the design process, creating an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface that works on any browser, computer or mobile device. We’re not into distractions like Flash intros, animated graphics or loud sound effects; we just like good clean design that allows your brand to take center stage.

Frascogna Entertainment Law Website

frascogna_web1 frascogna_web2 frascogna_web3
Frascogna Courtney, PLLC has a long and established history of legal excellence in areas of sports and entertainment law and elder law. The two divisions work separately, and the entertainment division needed a presence to establish its credibility in the creative community. We developed a concept for the site that establishes the legacy of X.M. Frascogna's work and paves the way for the firm's innovative global music work and literary representation work. Artists, athletes, and those connected with the entertainment industry can be focused on creativity, not the legal and business world. It became important to position Frascogna Entertainment Law as being a trusted steward that will successfully navigate clients through those waters. The best way to illustrate the firm's successes was through a series of case studies outlining challenges faced by clients and how Frascogna Entertainment Law helped ensure a positive solution. Discussing which case studies to include was helpful for the firm to prioritize its desired clientele and to help inbound SEO traffic. We art directed an original photo shoot to move beyond the traditional attorney portrait in front of law books. The photography focuses on the practice areas, and was expertly shot by Beck Photographic. In addition, the team at Howl Design custom-programmed the site's template in Wordpress.

NutsOnline Custom Facebook Tab

nuts_facebook_tab
We created this custom tab to integrate NutsOnline's newsletter signup with their Facebook page. In addition to doing the web code for the tab, we especially enjoy working with their characters to create illustrations like this one!

IDEA “Give Change, Make Change” Landing Page

idea_change
We designed the title and landing page for this campaign by IDEA to raise money for a foundation matching grant through individual online donations. By stripping away extra navigation and coming up with a targeted pitch, we created a page whose sole job is to drive potential donors to the Give Now button. The project was a success, and raised its goal amount (and then some!).

Diver’s D\Lyte Website

ddhome
The Diver's D\Lyte brand has evolved into a really nicely-polished look with this website. There are strong copywriting and call to action elements without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal of the site. As an added benefit, we've found that this site performs very well in SEO tests for "diver hydration" and related keywords.

Davaine Lighting Website

davaine_screen1 davaine_screen3
In the discovery process, we thought it was remarkable how much lighting could change a room for a special event. We wanted to make the site very 'glowy' in order to show off the photos displaying Stephen's lighting artistry. The 'Ideas' page was a cool addition so that brides & event planners could learn how elements of lighting could be effective in transforming their events.

Faith And Reason Website

faithandreason
Faith And Reason is a Jackson, Mississippi-based organization quickly rising in the national scene of progressive Christianity. For their new website, we created a look that captures a historical, authentic feel that represents the work of Faith And Reason's scholar board. The site has created an increase in sales and exposure to the organization's educational products for church small groups while positioning the brand for its coming national prominence.

Mississippi Humanities Council Website

mshumanities
Creative Distillery worked with the Mississippi Humanities Council to create a brand-new site with a CMS that staff could update themselves. Our mission statement with the new site was to shift the focus away from the administrative aspects of the Humanities Council to the great programming the Council offers. In addition, the site's publishing workflow is customized to be friendly to the MHC staff.

How to Market and Promote Music Internationally website

htmpm
The website for the How to Market and Promote Music Internationally ebook series has the look and feel of the chapter title pages we designed for the ebook. The e-commerce portion of the site securely stores the digital files for the products and sends a secure link to a customer who buys either the .EPUB or .PDF versions.

Cups Espresso Cafe Website

cups_screen1 cups_screen2 cups_screen3

The website redesign for Cups Espresso Cafe, a coffee shop chain in central Mississippi, was a huge project. Cups has the distinction of being the place where we've spent many client meetings and work sessions. We set out to help Cups articulate its website in relationship to 1) its core brand and 2) the differences that make each location unique.

Many brands with multiple locations try to homogenize the experience between them in order to present a unified brand. However, Cups' strength is the individuality of each store: a location in a suburb will be very different from a location in the funky arts district. Each location is given its own blog to maintain its identity, but it is presented within the structure of the larger website featuring Cups' locally-roasted coffee, menu items and thoughts from the roaster.

In addition, the site is performing incredibly well on Google, with strong keyword entrances and super-low bounce rates.

This site was completed with web programming by Vince Falconi, and photography by Tom Beck of Beck Photographic.
