A Tale of Two Websites
We recently had an interesting challenge: to design “sister sites” for two related but separate companies: Polaris Property Management and a blog for Polaris Real Estate. For Polaris Property Management, it was a redesign of their existing site, but the blog is meant to compliment danbaldini.com, the existing site for Polaris Real Estate. At first glance, the pages don’t look so different. They share a similar simple style, and clean style, along with Taylor’s great banner artwork. However, the content and function of the sites are very different. The Polaris Manage...

Business cards take a lot of abuse. They are shoved into pockets, purses, and business card cases, crumpled in sweaty palms, and otherwise mutilated. So ask yourself: is your card up to the abuse? Is it too big to fit in a standard card case? Or is it so small that it’ll easily got lost in the shuffle?

Unlike many of the “business” websites we create, this one features bright colors, and much more “fun” feel.

At Roundpeg, we have a special place in our hearts for animals. Just stop by some time and meet Bonnie and Clyde and you will know we enjoy being around animals. That love of animals made the new web design project for the WellPet Clinics a lot of fun. Their original site wasn’t bad. The navigation was simple and the information was presented in a logical manner. But the site was built in a traditional HTML format, and it was difficult for the team at WellPets to update the site and keep it fresh. Our primary objective was to create something the staff could update easily....
