“How long will this take?” That’s a question we hear on a daily basis when talking to someone about a new website project. Sometimes it can be the first question. And our answer? “It depends.” Being a custom web design company, that’s an answer we often provide until we know more information about the project requirements.
Unfortunately, throughout the year we pick up a lot of projects where other web design companies simply can’t (or won’t) finish a project to completion. It’s never a fun situation, but we’re happy to help people get back on track. One particular problem we’ve seen is when a web design business delivers page designs using custom fonts. Now, if these fonts are able to be licensed for web use (or are free and hosted via Google Fonts for example), we’re good to go. But often, the designer chooses his favorite fonts in the design, but those fonts can’t be used online.
Last week, someone told me about their new website that was created by another web design company. They mentioned that the process was relatively painless, but the end result wasn’t quite what they expected. They thought since the website was being built on WordPress, that it was going to be easy to change the text and images on their brand new website. After all, isn’t that what a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress is supposed to do?

I work with Shawn and his team on web design and maintenance. I had no idea that web stuff could be this easy from a business owner perspective – they take care of everything! Previously I was involved monthly in dealing with breakdowns and flaws. Not anymore – they diagnosed and fixed the foundational issues with my site, and keep it running smoothly despite the inevitable updates and plugin conflicts. Recently I messed up the site myself and Shawn and his team fixed it ASAP even though it was my fault. All this for way less than I was paying previously! Can’t recommend them strongly enough.

Our web site update was just completed by Graticle Design and they did a terrific job. Our engineering company provides a unique service and Shawn captured the essence of our company. The way the site is set up I can add and modify the content at will, easily keeping the projects and offerings up to date myself. The tutorial he included is a great finish touch. Great job!

Graticle started in 2009 out of Ridgefield, Washington. Not the ideal time to start a business (with a recession in full) but we’ve figured out how to stay ahead of the curve and work harder and better than the other guys. We started out with one thing in mind: Clients. We realized that a project is what you’re after but that’s not all. Our clients not only love what we create but also receive great care and appreciation throughout and after their project is completed. Need more proof? Read any one of our 94 customer reviews.
