About Us

Those Design Guys formed in early 2009 to service a real need for cost-effective design and advertising solutions for business in today's market. In order to do this, we have adopted a business model that allows us provide services you have come to recognize from an award-winning agency at a fraction of the costs.

We do not cut corners by using templates for our projects. Each job is customized to suit the needs of our customers. Instead, we have reduced costs by reducing our operational costs, and that means considerable savings for our customers.

Testimonials

We launched our new website in May of 2009, which was one of the slowest seasons we have experienced in over 20 years due to the Recession.

Within one month of launching our new Website, our bookings increased by 30%!

Julie provided us with outstanding support throughout the whole process. I never expected to have a Website that looked so beautiful and returned bookings so quickly!

What has changed?

With over 15 years in the industry, the founder of Those Design Guys has been a Graphic Designer working with agencies, corporations and small business startups. While many of the changes we have seen over the past two decades has been beneficial, it has also introduced a large gap between amateur and professional work seen in advertisements, on the internet and identifying products and services.

The Truth about Today's Graphic Design Industry

The Graphic Design industry, which was once mystified and obscure has become mainstream. Today, with computer tools and equipment, virtually anyone can call themselves a "Designer". This change has affected how some design firms have chosen to do business to remain competative in today's market, using content-managed websites and create-your-own brochure systems in order to get the job done within budget. It has also introduced many amateurs into the industry, which has a negative effect for businesses trying to remain competative.

What Makes Us Different?

Along with the changes to the design industry have come additional demands on all business owners. Everyone in business today must have diversified skills in order to remain competative. This means a greater time investment on the part of all people in the workplace than ever before.

Our clients have come to us having experienced negative results trying to implement and maintain web and print advertising on their own with inexperienced staff, or through cheap solutions that do not deliver results. Our approach is to remove the learning curve associated with maintaining advertising materials and instead work with our clients to implement their ideas and provide suggestions on how to improve them for a greater return on investment.

The key is in listening to the needs of our clients. We take a customized approach to our solutions while factoring in budget, competition, and profit expectations. We help our customers create a roadmap for success without placing unrealistic demands on time or budget.

The result is effective, functional advertising that allows our customers to focus on their business, rather than maintaining their advertising materials.
