The newest project was to build a logo and website for Bella Vista Mar, a beautiful hotel in Nosara Costa Rica.
www.BellaVistaMar.com
The Orginal site was very tan and brown and did not offer the viewer an virtual experience of what the hotel is really like. There is still work to be done with adding a few more pictures of the inside of the rooms. They were just remodeled and we do not have up to date pictures yet. Perhaps I should take a trip down there for a little photography. We are also still working on the SEO of the site.

There are many graphic designers out there who are good web designers BUT not all Graphic Designers are good Web Designers and not all Web Designers are good Graphic Designers.
If you are looking to have a web site created it is a good idea to find both design skills in the person you hire. First lets define both types of designers.
Graphic Designer: Graphic Design can be done both in digital and print format. (but not to be confused with web design) They have a smart innovative eye when it comes to branding, brochures, business cards etc. They are creative and can think out side of the box. Graphic Designers know how to layout files to send to printers and how to successfully carry the “audience” eye through their material.
Web Designer: A Web Designer is much more technical and sometimes not as creative. They have to be able to code and to be able to design a successful site that works on multiple browsers. They have to be able to set up navigation in a logical since. A Web Designer needs to know how to get rid of extra “bloated” code and to optimize your site for the Search Engines. Plus a lot more.
To have a successful website you need both a graphic designer and web designer. If you can find those skills in one person, who can think with both sides of the brain, the all the much better. All the coding for a perfect site in the world is great BUT in today’s world it also has to look good, be attractive and visually convey your message.
A combination of both skills in a must or your web site will not be successful.
Yes they can be the same person, but make sure you look at both their graphic and web portfolio before hiring them.

Hello Everyone. We are having some major issues with our blog this week. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. We tried to upgrade to the newest version of Wordpress automatically and the whole thing crashed. Unfortunately we have to start from scratch. We will be back up and running within the week with new articles and hopefully a more focused point of few.
If you have a topic you would like us to cover, just write us a comment and let us know!
