Frequently asked Questions about creating a website

Before a client comes to me for website services, they are often overwhelmed at the thought of where to begin. We make the process very smooth and seamless. We create custom websites and the client just has to let us know what it is they want on the site... how many pages - and what is going to be happening on those pages. From there - we create the look and start laying out the content. It really is not as overwhelming as you might think. This whole process can be done within a week. More times than not you (the client) already have a brochure or marketing piece that contains all the information you will be putting into a website. Just give us that brochure - we will lay it out and make your website functional. We look forward to working with you!

Benefit for Mitochondrial Disease

We are always thrilled to lend our design efforts to a charity who could use some help promoting an event. This particular charitable event seemed to touch me in a very deep way. It involves children. Being a mom myself, I cannot imagine the grief and emotions you go through when you have a child who is sick. This particular family I had the pleasure of working with - not only does the mom have mitochondrial disease, but so does her two children. They are putting on a benefit concert through Ralph's World.

This benefit concert is scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 2011 at:

McAninch Arts Center
College of DuPage
425 Fawell Blvd.
Glen Ellyn, Il.
ph. 630.942.4000

There will be two Ralph's World shows this day, one at 11am and one at 2pm. Tickets are $20 (balcony) and $25 (floor). Tickets can be purchased at the box office, by phone and online at: http://www.ralphsworld.com.

This benefit is for The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF). The UMDF promotes research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and provides support to affected individuals and families. You can learn more at their website at: http://www.umdf.org.

Revamp your look for 2011!

It is never too late to revamp your current business look. Sometimes creating a new look (logo, identity and website) can give a new energy for your business, as well. It's almost like cleaning out your office - when your space is desirable to work in - it gives you motivation. When your "look" gives off a fresh feel - that can bring new motivation to you and your coworkers! Visit www.designloftinc.com today for a free estimate! Thank you.

Going Paperless

We are very proud of the fact that 97% of our billing is paperless. It may be a small contribution, but it is SOMETHING and we feel like we are making an effort. Have you considered going paperless for your billing?

Website Design

Working with so many different clients over the years has brought me to this question? What do you want your website to do for you? Do you simply need web presence? Do you need it to be found? Or is it both? You would be surprised at the 50 / 50 answers! Some people truly just need a web presence... almost like an online business card or brochure. Whichever one you need - we do both. And it is SO important to have a website nowadays. It is truly a must. With the green movement - the need to go paperless is higher than ever. Be current with the game!

THANK YOU!

Lindsay-

We LOVE the logo for Annie... It turned out beautifully and we are truly appreciative.

Thanks again for your hard work and willingness to spotlight this wonderful organization in its attempt to prevent premature birth, birth defects and infant loss.

Many warm wishes sent your way from the March of Dimes (Mississippi Valley Division-IA) AND from Miss Annie herself.

Sincerely,

January 2010

Everyone is busy at work after the holidays - and hopefully feeling a new boost of energy at looking at the new year ahead of them. As design loft looks ahead - we are busy looking for ways to extend our hand this year. There is a lot to do - a lot to give - and I know we have the contacts to do it. Networking is an amazing thing, isn't it? It has the power to change the lives of many people. Sharing a tip on how to save money, sharing the name of an amazing doctor, passing on words of advice to new parents. Through our networks we are going to share a few things. We are excited about the possibilities!
