I design websites.
Your website provides an everyday open door for visitors to enter your business, bringing you a tremendous potential to market your product or service.
Increasingly, people use the internet for pre-purchase research, taking decisions at their own pace. Locals search for neighborhood places to go, tourists places to visit… spenders really love the Internet. According to the University of Miami, “sales in electronic shopping have climbed 28.3 percent since the start of the recession, while total retail sales only rose one percent during this same period.”, adding that “all these Web stores, which at times offer convenience, discounts or even goods not found elsewhere.”
A logo —a distinctive graphic also known as a mark—, or logotype—your company’s name expressed with a distinctive typeface—, shouts colossally about your business, bringing the viewer immediate emotion, character, and information about the entity the logo represents.
Once a logo is associated with a product, a company, a service, its value starts to be clear. See, you can use anything for your logo: A shell to represent an oil company, a swoosh to represent shoes, stars and stripes (white and red) to represent a nation, a red cross to represent, well, the Red Cross. These symbols, or logos, although small and seemingly rather decorative, become one of the most important marketing tools of a company at one point of its life. How could Superman go around without a logo?

A Very Logo Gallery
I design logos.
A logo, while providing the primary identification of your business, is that clever image facing at people in your business cards, your website, brochures, or your ads in TV, iPads, newspapers and magazines, just to name a few.
Your logo is the piece that glues together all marketing you do. Is a graphical entity —symbol, icon, ideogram, emblem, sign— that represents your trademark or brand.
To my fortune, I created the logos you see in this page for my beloved customers.

Decor In A Day in Southwest Florida
Jill Peck, an Interior Design Society Associate based in Naples, FL, came to our office in July 2008 looking for professional help to make a web site for her decor business, Decor In A Day. We had quite a productive chat —Jill impressed me as a very organized person—, and she left the office with my promise of getting back to her as soon as possible.
Once we studied her target, local and Internet competition, along with her current business cards and brochure, we decided on our course of action. There was no mark, or logotype, on the former marketing material she left to us, so we decided to surprise her by creating a new logo and business cards, without increasing the budget already approved for the web site.

Blue Ribbon Steak & Seafood
When Michael, a Fort Myers, Fl, based businessman entered our store for the first time, it took just seconds for him to take over the place: He introduced himself, everybody shared a little story, he laughed, he talked, we laughed, he convinced us to buy 22 lb. of meat-in-a-box for 120 bucks.
But we were already on a mission the moment we saw both his introductory brochure—a mess of black tint printed on both sides of a rather intense blue colored paper—and his, ahem, peculiar business cards. We let him know we wanted to help him to get more business.

Walk those shoes, Vanessa
I think it is great to be involved with entrepreneurial young women creating businesses based on their call. For Vanessa, her call comes from a long family tradition: A fashionable shoe business back in the country of her parents’ origin, Brazil. She wanted to start her own business and she knew she needed some marketing material to introduce her first models to the market. She jumped to the web and found GraphicBiz.
I like to think that we clicked immediately. We exchanged some ideas, she asked all possible questions, both agreed on terms and we set some goals. The project was underway that same day and she left the office with a promise of having everything ready on time.

Have This On The Rocks
Dana visited us bringing an exciting project: She was building a restaurant to rock Naples and probably all Southwest Florida. The name was on target, On The Rocks.
Oh, how we enjoyed working together, brainstorming all the possibilities a business such as this one would bring to the entertaining scene back in 2007: A formal restaurant immersed in a rock band atmosphere, complete with rock legends decor, a band stage and full bar.
