Simply put, design is a means for your business to communicate its value in a way that stands out and grabs peoples’ attention.

“I believe that in a crowded marketplace, design is the most potent tool for differentiating one’s products or services.” Tom Peters, Management Consultant

Your company is not alone. You have competitors, we all do. Design will help you deliver a message that differentiates your products or services from your competitors.

Perception is ultimately reality and you must show your value immediately to your customers. The effort placed into creating the design of your website, logo, business cards, etc. will be seen as soon as your customer interacts with anyone of these. This initial impression with your company will begin to formulate your customers perceived value of your company, products and/or services.

The primary purpose of design is to deliver a message. Whether you message is buy more widgets, or call to schedule an appointment, design puts organization and order into that message so that it is delivered to your customers in a way that makes sense, and is appealing to them.

Design plays a critical role in making information easy to understand and use. Anything from a website that makes ordering a pair of shoes easy to a business card that clearly indicates who you are and how best to contact you, good design streamline this process.

So, you can see design is important for your business. Design is how customers see your company. Perception is reality.
