Newfront Creative: San Jose Graphic & Web Design - Working within the San Francisco Bay Area

Logo Design

Newfront offers one of a kind, unique, logo design for the individual or for the corporation. The thing that sets our work apart from the rest of the thousands of logo design companies is that we actually care about the identity of your company and will work with you through the entire process to ensure that what you get is what you helped put together.

Custom Banner Design

Everyone loves Flash. It is that easy. Add a flashy something to your website and someone is going to click on it. Well it isn't that easy anymore. People are easily annoyed and placing banner ads can easily eat up a lot of your marketing costs each year. So we offer smart banner design. We will work with your team to figure out what your goals are for the marketing piece. We will then think up the most effective way to handle that request. Add our knowledge and experience, and your banner ad will be show worthy and create clicks to your website.

Advertisments

Simply put, we will help your magazine or newspaper ad placement generate money back to your company. We will do it with passion for you and your company, and we will take the appropriate steps to ensure that the advertisement is clean, well versed, and above all – easily interpreted.

Stationary Design

The look and feel of your business cards say a lot to those who hold them. If your card stock doesn't complement your card, then there is a problem, one we can help you with. At Newfront, we will walk you through the design process of your business card, letter head, envelope and any other piece of corporate collateral you wish to have branded with your corporate identity, and then we will streamline the package, find the appropriate paper stock, and even send off the project to our favorite printers and have it shipped off to you, so the burden of getting the small things done no longer needs to fall in your lap. Get it done with Newfront and get it done right.

Graphic Design Consultation

Have you ever needed another opinion on a project, or needed someone to come in for a day or two to oversee your in-house operations? If so, you might have needed a design consultant. What we offer is our opinions and two cents on whatever project you are working on, and we are more than willing to work in complete confidentiality and work with your company to redirect the progress of a concept gone sour, or step in to help with any mental blocks your own team may be having. Sometimes it is just nice to have a fresh opinion. We work by the hour, and will contract as much time as you need to get moving in the right direction again.

Naming

So you have a new idea for a product. However you can't seem to figure out what to call the thing. You've probably spent hours thinking about this away from the job, or at night while trying to sleep, but without a real concrete idea. Or you just want another company to come in and develop a list of names for the product, and then take it from there. Whatever the case, our staff is more than willing to take charge, brainstorm the heck out of the product, and come up with the name (or help you along the way) as you figure out "what to call this thing".

Website Design

Our staff prides themselves on being able to create good looking, smart designs. We think about the user of the site and how they will look at the site from the get-go. We take the time to walk in their shoes so when we have completed a design it works, not just for you or for us, but for the first time user as well. We pride ourselves in delivering unique, one-of-a-kind websites. We ditch the creativity of yesterday at the door each morning and create the standards of tomorrow.

Website Development

Along with our ability to design websites, we are also fully capable of developing standards compliant websites. We start off each of our websites on a solid foundation of quality coding, and then we create whatever you can dream up and make it work. We use a mix and match approach of XHTML, XML, JavaScript, ActionScript (Flash), PHP, MySQL, ColdFusion, and CSS to create what we deliver to the market. We have also started customizing unique Google Earth applications coding in KML 2 and delivering in KMZ format. We can also trick out your Google Maps if that is what your looking for.

Website Consultation

So you're stuck. Hit a mental roadblock. Maxed out the capacity of an idea. Well you can either waste precious time and scribble another hundred or so layouts, mock them up in Fireworks and Photoshop, maybe even print them out to compare them. All the while you are wasting valuable time you could be finishing a project and billing for it. Let us step in and send you a few ideas, and help spark the creative juices again.

Experimental Script Design

This is a new service. We have had a lot of requests to learn a programming language and then implement a whole bunch of tests maxing out the potentials of the language. This first started on a large job using Google Earth to create time based animations (geo-coded time based animations). So if you don't have the time to learn a language, or to waste paying someone to come in for a week and sit everyone down and show them the baby steps of a new language then forget about it, just let us do the heavy lifting and we will send you whatever you want in whatever language you need it (Programming Languages)

Content Management Systems

In the past we have made a good number of Content Management Systems (CMS), and we decided that it would be important to offer anyone the ability to have a CMS designed especially for their company / website. Some limitations apply but contact us and we will let you know what we think we can do for you. Our CMS is always built and created to be as easy to use as possible. So it doesn't matter what goes on in the background, our Graphical User Interfaces (GUI's) are created to take the pain off of updates and whatever else your needs may be.

Database Management / Design

We pride ourselves in the ability to manage large datasets and design really powerful relational databases. So if you are about to step into the 4th dimension and need to step out with the right foot forward, why not have us send you over a proposed database design that will be fully scalable and easy to maintain.

Search Engine Optimization

Many people ask what Search Engine Optimization is so here is the brief synopsis. Search Engine Optimization is an art form, one that takes a little trial and error and also one that takes time to deliver. When you optimize a website you are doing more than just adding keywords. You are strategically placing keywords within links and within specific regions of the web pages. However it doesn't stop there, (SEO) is also about building quality links. Link building is no walk in the park. It takes time and patience to build quality links. It takes contacting the right people at desirable websites to ask them for a link exchange, and if you prefer not to link to other sites from your own site, than it takes directory submission and making your website and its purpose known on the web. The only real alternative to SEO is paid link campaigns and direct marketing pieces and we offer support in both those areas.

Search Engine Marketing

So your company has decided that it doesn’t want SEO, but it still wants to get to the top of the Search results. (This would be Google with its 90+ % market share of all search traffic) We offer support in running and managing your Google AdWords campaigns and setting up and monitoring the traffic to and from your website to ensure that you are doing everything possible to get and keep your customers, or to gain new useful traffic to your website.

Public Relations

What goes well with SEO and SEM? A little PR. That is our thinking at least. If your company wants to make some noise, it needs to be heard by the right people. Whether you're a fortune 500 company who needs to place some articles or try for the first page of a major newspaper, we have the contacts and the software to get the job done. PR is a finely tuned mix of cold calling, emailing, and sending of press releases. It goes beyond that to try and fix crisis situations and to reverse bad press. So if your company is looking for quality PR give Newfront a call and we can discuss your company and create a customized battle plan for you and your company.

Marketing / Research

We are fully capable of doing market research on your company’s brand to help fine tune your next steps as a company whatever those steps may be. If your looking to redesign your corporate identity (logo) but don’t want to seem outdated, than let us show you what is going on in the current marketplace for your business. The same goes for any website redesign. We always do our homework before sitting down and beginning the design of your website. Or say you’re an individual seeking to learn more about your competitors before seeking venture capitalists to invest thousands in your idea, than have us do the research so you can answer any and all questions that might come your way. If you just want to know some facts and have them sent to you organized and categorized, than give us a call and we can discuss your project.
Are you looking for all of our services in a complete Marketing package? We can set up a special service just for you. This will include a corporate identity (logo), all your stationary, any online or offline advertisements. A website. Your choice of SEO or SEM, and our PR services.
