Our Services

What we can do for you…

Charfish Design specializes in creating things that look good and writing things that make sense.

That sounds general but it doesn’t mean we’re jacks of all trades, masters of none. The truth is that good design is based on principles that achieve a certain end. Color, layout, balance, stability…all of these, when done well, are the product of following compositional principles that have been around much longer than we have. Once you know these principles, it doesn’t matter if you’re drawing, painting, designing a website or even arranging type on a page. Good design is simply good design.

Web Design

Our web design services

We design websites of all shapes and sizes, working with our clients to provide exactly what is needed and wanted. Our bare minimum requirements for any design that leaves the shop are:

It must look good
It must be easy to navigate

There are millions of variables that go into making a website, but those two will stand you in good stead. A website that looks horrible loses business and traffic. And a website that is too complex, too difficult to navigate, suffers the same fate. These are proven facts, borne out by many surveys on web-usage.

Within those confines, everything else is fair-game. Your site will look good and even Granny will be able to get from page to page.

Here’s a list of the web design services you may need us for:

Static CSS/XHTML websites that validate
Blogs, with an emphasis on Wordpress…the premier blog platform
Flash Websites
Headers and Banners
Animated Ads
Content Writing
Maintenance
Reviews
Refreshes and updates to bring your site up to today’s standards
Consultations
Everything else you’d expect to see on such a list

Writing Services

What do you say and how do you say it?

For a lot of individuals and businesses, generating content is problematic. You’ve got to have it, but who’s gonna write it and what’s it gonna be about? And this is to say nothing of how some people just don’t think they can write.

We have these problem solved. As a web design agency one of the services we’ve employed from the very beginning is generating content. It’s only fair, right? If we’re gonna build websites we might as well be able to fill them with good content as well.

We’ve been writing almost as long as we’ve been designing, and we can take some, if not all, of that workload off your back.

Here are some of the writing services we can perform at a moment’s notice:

Blog posts
“About me”, “Contact us” and other standard web content
Product reviews
Mission statements
Corporate brochures
Press releases
Shareholder reports
Email marketing

That is a very small list that could go on and on. The bottom line is that we can write what you need written. And it’ll be good!
