Your business or organization is in a state of change. It may be slow and incremental change, or maybe periods of stability broken by bursts of activity. When your business is changing, your website need to change and be updated along with it. You want your potential clients or customers to see an active website, showing a business that is up-to-date and engaged.
Print is not dead. There's something comforting about holding a printed piece in your hand, it has weight and texture and a gravitas that a web piece doesn't always have. Someone took the time and expense to print something nice, so it gets your attention. It's almost come full circle as not long ago, a printed marketing piece was felt to be old fashioned and out of step with a digital age.
If you need a custom illustration for your marketing project, we can take care of it, usually in-house. We can create an all-digital illustration, or utilize traditional media: pencil, ink or paint. A pencil and eraser are still useful tools at Wilford Design, we may be a bit old-school in that way.
