New Portfolio Addition – Website & Business Card Design for HCCKC

Posted in News on April 1, 2010 by JLSA

Creativity, even when based in sound business strategy, can be subjective. For this reason, every time a business engages us to design something that will visually capture their brand and message, there is an element of trust involved; we take this trust very, very seriously. We relish the opportunity because it makes days like today even better, when we can send another happy client on their way with a visual solution in place that we’re positive will do great things for their business.

Today’s portfolio addition is Health Care Consultants of Kansas City, a brand new business with a brand new website and a brand new business card.

Creative Process – 801 Chophouse Website Design

Posted in Strategy on February 23, 2010 by Joshua Davis

Few things make me wish for wealth more than the possibility of eating at 801 Chophouse every night. When we were asked to design a website that reflected the experience of the restaurant, we were happy to dive deep into research (that means eat there). The end result was truly defining and in some cases delicious.

801 Chophouse is in 3 locations: Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; Des Moines, Iowa. They offer a fine dining experience that ranks with the best available, claiming a midwest reputation that spreads to the coasts. We worked to match the caliber, energy, and mood that was definitively 801.

Ahh “OHH,” a marathon project of which I can’t capture the hundreds of hours spent. This is the first process entry I have done, and it’s bound to be one of the biggest. Don’t take marathon as a negative, I like running for especially long distances. But there is no denying the scope, completion of this website was a fantastic feat for everyone involved.

Ochsner Hare & Hare Custom Web Design - Johnny Lightning Strikes Again

We understand that there is a possibility that you haven’t been as excited about this day as we have, but we’re releasing the balloons and sending out the marching band anyway. We just launched a new Flash website for Ochsner, Hare & Hare, a landscape architecture and city planning firm who has visually shaped not just Kansas City, but communities all over Missouri and the nation. The custom design and development of this site has been a passion of ours since the earliest days of our firm and today we feel very much like parents waving goodbye to their children, heading off to their first day of school. Luckily, we don’t need to worry about bullies, because ain’t nobody on the web messing with this little guy. To see the site, please visit OHHKC.com. READ MORE →

The Little House

Posted in News on November 17, 2009 by David Cecil

I know it’s been a while since you heard from us, and believe us, we missed you too. But sometimes, you just have to put your head down and take care of business, you know?

The business we’ve most recently taken care of is a web design project that I’m struggling to describe without using words that I try to avoid when discussing our ultra-important, super-serious, strategically-driven web design work. Words like cute. And adorable.

There may be no way around it.

The Little House Kansas City Web Design - Johnny Lightning Strikes Again

The most recent addition to our portfolio and client family is The Little House – a boutique children’s clothing store, located for over 40 years in the charming Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City, MO. Success over decades doesn’t happen by accident (I dare you to go to their store and tell me you’d buy your children clothes anywhere else), but they felt that it was time to grace the World Wide Web with a little of their delightfullness. Yes – delightfullness is in no way a real word, but you’re going to have to go with it because it’s all too appropriate. READ MORE →
