WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
Powers By Design LLC:
”Creative Graphic and Web Design.”
WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
Powers By Design LLC:
”Powers By Design, LLC was founded on the principle that small and mid-size companies can grow with the proper marketing campaign. It doesn't take a multi-million dollar ad agency to create effective advertising that could make even the smallest companies millions.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
Powers By Design LLC:
”Casual but professional, easy going but intent on perfecting our craft and our client's graphic and web design work.”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
Powers By Design LLC:
”We're dedicated to our craft, always looking to improve what we've done. We've even gone back months later to update a client's website when we get a newer app or plugin they might enjoy--often just to make sure the clients website is top notch and never outdated.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
Powers By Design LLC:
”Honestly we're as much into our work for the enjoyment of making great designs, strong application and web integration as much as we are making money for ourselves. Our philosophy is the better we make our clients websites, the more money they make and the longer we keep them as returning clients.”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
Powers By Design LLC:
”We do a lot of networking in chamber of commerce's, local networking events and business expos. We also do some advertising on the Internet and get a few out of state clients a month that provide interesting and exciting challenges. Helps broaden our appeal to more than "the local design firm".”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
Powers By Design LLC:
”We discuss timelines, and set project goals and deadlines. We keep the client on track for what we need from them to complete our work yet giving them the flexibility to adapt to their schedule while coming in on time.”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
Powers By Design LLC:
”Trusting you want their brand speak to their core audience and its the most important part of what we do. We're brand managers, graphics are fine but without understanding the messaging the client wants to convey--you cannot proceed.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
Powers By Design LLC:
”All our clients are demanding, they demand good work at a good price, and we like them to be as committed to the process. We've actually turned away clients who haven't had a real clear desire to work to improving their brand.”
WWDC:
If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
Powers By Design LLC:
”While pricing and experience are important, dedication and follow through are the most important parts of what our people try to express to our clients. We're dedicated in the mission of improving our craft--and the happy side effect of that is creating great works for our clients...”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
Powers By Design LLC:

WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
Powers By Design LLC:
”More CMS, more WYSWYG More relying on design than programming. More apps that are easier to integrate into CMSs without the overhead of programmers. Designers love to design but we'd rather not program as it takes time away from designing.”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
Powers By Design LLC:
”Mac”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
Powers By Design LLC:
”I added "By Design" after my name because I have a mission and all that I do is...by design.”
