Here’s a nice, simple and uncluttered CMS (content management system) Website we put together for local real estate broker, Peter Champ. The site can be easily updated by the client after logging-in and using a simple Word-like interface.
New Website for Earth Class Mail that we designed in conjunction with the client with CSS styling by Felipe Lujan-Bear of Liquidbook. The site replaces their old site that was difficult to maintain, and even more troublesome to navigate. Now with a .Net CMS system for navigation elements and a locked-down CSS, the site can grow and adapt as needed and still look as pretty as the day it launched.

We recently completed a big Wordpress Website design project that comprised of two separate, but similarly branded websites that cater to each of our client’s two target audiences. The client is EdZapp, a jobs application and hiring site for Education, and their 2 audiences are teachers and related staff who are looking for jobs, and schools and districts that are looking to hire. Previously we had helped EdZapp design the User Interface for their web-based application and tracking software, so it was great to finally give them a “front end” design that compliments their “backend.”

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the new Wilfs Restaurant Web site. Built in Wordpress, the new site actually uses the same base template as the DBD+A site, but looks decidedly different. Their new site is now a truer reflection of the spirit of Wilfs and is brimming with news, information and more! Please let us know what you think, and be sure to sign-up for Wilfs’ mailing list to be the first to get their latest news and special event invitations, as well as a coupon good for 15% off your next lunch or dinner at Wilfs!
OK, we actually won the Showcase Showdown–the inaugural site design contest from Woo Themes, not an actual smackdown. But our site did receive 80% of the total votes! Just think what we could do for your website’s design… Really, think about it. Here’s what some of the responder’s had to say about our site’s design:
-
“I’m going to have to go with DBDA. It’s simple, clean, and current.”
“DBDA, hands-down winner.”
“DBDA for me. It’s fresh. The copy and images stand out (especially the dog) and really grab your attention. The white background keeps it crisp. You’ve only got a short amount of time to grab and keep people’s interest and DBDA got through to me asap.”
“DBDA Studio is my choice! Awesome!”
“Definitely DBDA. Looks superb. Any chance of sharing how DBDA did the animation?”
“I like it a lot because it’s clean and minimal. Especially for the type of business that they are promoting. Our firm does the same type work and I have definitely learned a few things from a quick visit to their site.”
After we designed our new website using one of Woo Themes’ superb and sublime Wordpress themes, we submitted our URL to their customized theme showcase. Now, we’re happy to report that our site is part of Woo Themes’ very first Showcase Showdown! Check out the contest, and don’t forget to vote!

We created this poster, blog and large banner as part of a campaign to promote our kids’ school fund raising auction. The theme is “80s party” in case you couldn’t tell, so we broke out the “Rock of the Eighties” on our iTunes and checked our collection of buttons, badges and photos for inspiration.
We just completed this Website design for Focus the Nation in partnership with Herman Consulting. Focus the Nation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing opportunities for community education on clean energy, sustained engagement with elected officials, networking youth initiatives, and developing clean energy leaders. The site is currently in beta, but should be fully operational soon! We also designed the logo and branding for this great organization.
DBD+A has just completed a complete website re-design for Madison Millinger Extraordinary Handmade Rugs, a retail rug store in Portland, Oregon. Click on the image to visit the site and see what we’ve done.
We also created this cute e-mail announcement for the site using part of the Madison Millinger logo…
We’ve started a new music magazine in the form of a blog with good friend of DBD+A and fellow music fan, Gene B. The magazine is called Smells Like Pop and was just recently launched. We’re finally beginning to get the posts flowing and have also ironed out some of the design details. So now you know that DBD+A does not live on design alone. We also hungrily consume music at a rate that some say is hazardous to our health. Check it out, and post a comment–we’re looking forward to hearing what readers think.
