Dray Design Studio's web site portfolio.

Your business goals come first.

Development of a web site for your business does not start with graphic or technical design. The first step is to understand what business goals you want to achieve with your web site - how it fits into your overall business strategy.

Developing a web strategy that fits with your business strategy is a key deliverable of the Studio's approach and a strength of its Chief Designer, Duane Schermerhorn.

For one customer, the Studio developed a web site strategy and three-year plan that fulfilled that strategy in affordable steps.

The Client's comments:

"The site allows me to show people what I could do without having to carry around a large portfolio. Dray captured my design style perfectly in the overall color scheme and page layout of the site, as well as in the eye-catching logo. Working with Dray was exciting, as he encouraged me to think about how I wanted to present my vision to the world." - Pat Stanley, Pat Stanley Design
