WHAT WE DO
  • Web Design

    Your website is your storefront on the internet - the first impression your audience has about you. Whether you are selling a product, promoting a service, or telling a story, that impression should be a memorable one. It is critical for any business or organization to present a well-designed, well-structured and easily-navigated website. Our experience in both visual design and web technology creates a chorus of art, functionality, and usability that makes our work both stunning and intuitive.

    Boxcar Studio combines creative ideas with sophisticated principles of design to create sites that are clean, beautiful, effectively organized and easy to navigate.

    Whether you are starting from scratch or rejuvenating an existing site, we can create a functional, well-optimized and eye-catching web design that gets the results you're looking for. We take great pride in how our sites look, but we take even greater pride in ensuring they meet our clients' goals and work for their audiences.

  • Branding & Identity

    Is your corporate logo starting to show its age? We can help!

    Your brand is one of the most important decisions that you can make for your business. A brand communicates a personality - a visual, emotional, and cultural image. Boxcar Studio can help you create that image whether it's for your entire company or just for an individual product or service. Any means by which your audience comes into contact with your brand is a touchpoint that affects the perception of your organization whether it be logo design, print design, social media presence, or the voice by which you communicate your message. We can help you define and refine your brand, and create style guides to ensure continuity throughout all of your communication vehicles.

    We've emphasized the importance of graphic design and functionality, but what about the fun stuff? We've got that too. Want streaming video of your CEO's weekly address? A Flash-based interactive map of your campus? Web cam of the chickens in your petting zoo? Boxcar Studio offers these services and more because multimedia elements are more than just add-ons to make you look cool - they can provide valuable and interesting content for your users.
