Read their testimonialsThere are many graphic design companies out there, so what makes Idea Maker different? Our expert team and long-refined processes. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve built a team of dedicated designers with extensive graphics skills and specialist software knowledge. Simultaneously, we’ve honed our design process based on atomic design principles.
Check out what one of our top clients has to say about Idea Maker.
The team was very responsive and easy to work with. They are professional, talented, and experienced team. They were able to meet all our requirements.
Idea Maker is distinguished for their personalized collaboration and white glove services. The team is dependable and reliable, sticking to the project's plan, offering feedback, and pushing back on the right things.
The way they understand the requirements we present to them is fairly solid. Both in terms of bringing their own interpretation in nailing the requirements and their design sense. By the time we launched, I had gotten significantly more value from our collaboration than what we had discussed in the original specs.
This is a boutique development firm where the Founder is directly involved with the project and the primary contact. This is unlike many development firms where you are simply handed off to developers that are not stakeholders. This is an important distinction that results in much better project accountability.
I have never had a site like this built before. I felt that Idea Maker and Tom had built numerous sites like this, and they were pros.
Idea Maker's portfolio is what drew us in. Their design style was in alignment with what we were after. We had initial consultations with 3 companies that we had narrowed it down to. Once we had our initial meeting with Tom at Idea Maker we knew we had the right choice to make. Their communication style works well for us.
Their customer service is excellent — they’re incredibly accessible and available, which I appreciate. Furthermore, they have enough experience and bandwidth to fulfill all my needs. They’re one of the best vendors I’ve worked with.
If you’re just starting in business, or feel like it’s time for an update, look no further than Idea Maker. We offer comprehensive logo design services, providing you with all required file types and image dimensions for use on and outside of your website.
Though your logo is the emblem of your business’s brand, developing a recognizable brand is much more complex. It requires the correct use of colors, typography, and even website layout. Our team is experienced in brand development and is ready to provide their expertise.
At Idea Maker, we have extensive experience in designing and developing original websites. As a result, we have accrued the expertise and resources required to efficiently design a website to your specifications. We offer both fully custom web designs and original in-house templates.
If you have an existing website that needs a new look, Idea Maker provides redesign services to bring it up to date. Unless you require an entirely new design, we aim to retain your brand’s integrity, allowing it to remain strongly present on your site.
Over 50% of web searches come from mobile devices, meaning it’s crucial to have a mobile-responsive website. Otherwise, you risk isolating half your audience. That’s why, at Idea Maker, we offer both web and mobile-facing designs, so all bases are covered, helping to capture as many customers as possible.
We follow atomic design principles, allowing for a hierarchical design structure. Doing so enables us to streamline our processes, removing the need for the repeat creation of frequently required design elements. As a result, when working with Idea Maker, you can rest assured that no time is wasted.
We’ve mentioned atomic design multiple times on this page, but what does this process involve? Well, atomic design is split into five components.
Atoms are the foundational elements necessary for any design project. They include components such as labels, inputs, buttons, and other elements that can’t be reduced further without losing their functionality.
Molecules are simple groups of atoms functioning as a single unit. For example, combining a button, search box, and label makes a search bar molecule. In other words, these individual atoms are linked together to make one functioning element. This means if multiple search bars were required, instead of remaking them each time, the molecule could be duplicated, saving designers time.
Organisms comprise complex groups of molecules. For example, a header section of a website is an organism made up of a navigation bar, images and text, and sometimes search molecules.
Templates are page-level objects that are used to denote the position of components: atoms, molecules, and organisms. Templates are typically a barebones web page outline used to show a design's proposed layout and denote future content placement.
Pages are the complete design formed from a template with representative content, such as images and copy. Designing a webpage from atoms to pages allows us to build designs from the ground up using a streamlined and accurate process.
