Having performed many projects for universities, government entities, small and large companies, Beacon's creative design team understands the importance in creatively delivering your message to the world.  Let's face it, the creative design is usually the first factor in having a visitor "stick" or "bounce"... and it only takes a few seconds.  From the deliverables that are produced during analysis and conceptual design, Beacon typically develops two to three unique and creative graphical mockups of the website (home page, second tier, third tier). We then go through two to three design-and-review iterations with you to ultimately produce the final website design.

Beacon's creative talent has been consistently effective in converting personality and design concepts into a customized, visually-appealing and professional website design. Also, because of our extensive involvement in education and government web development projects, we adhere to institution standards and meet ADA/508 Compliance requirements and utilize best practices in Website Usability Design.
