<<This is a concept design done for a special effects company All web sites begin with a concept design.  Visual Impact Chicago will work with you closely to find the design that best suits you.  Many times, multiple designs are concepted until just the right one is found.  This is possibly the most important stage in the whole process.  The design of your web page defines the visitor's experience, and offers them a visual first impression. This is the final product >>

This page design, done for a Chicago Museum, has a high-impact graphic design.  The design should speak to your viewers before any words are read.   "What's in" is contemporary, elegant, clean, design.  Keep it simple.  "What's out" is flaming logos, annoying flashing images, too many pictures, busy background images, and above all - pages that take forever to load.  Remember this: "content is king and speed rules."

This is an example of a recent web site with a contemporary design,  solid color schemes, and consistent format.  The index page (first page viewed) has a modern simplistic feel.  The first page should contain one main image, such as a corporate log or a collage of images that visually describe your business.

The home page of a web site should verbally describe your business.  This, along with the imagery from the index page are all you have to captivate a new browser's interest.  Here, the company describes who they are, and what they do.  Keep it simple.  Keep it one page or less.

E-Commerce (electronic commerce) is definitely a HOT buzz word on the net.  If you've got products to sell, or services to offer, we can offer on-line, secure server transactions.  We can set up a virtual store front or a product catalog if you have a lot of  products to offer.  Here, 5 items are offered.  The total cost is automatically added, and credit card information is stored in a database on a password protected secure server.

Password protected sites can be administered in a variety of ways using an easy-to-edit java applet.  New users or clients can be added to the site with a simple windows friendly interface.  The advantage to this java applet is that you can control not only who has access to certain areas on your site, but you can also control the default link for each user.  For example, you can send your preferred clients go to a  restricted VIP page that others do not have access to.

Forms are standard features which introduce a vital aspect of interactivity to your clients.  Forms can be used for RFP/RFQs (request for proposal/quotation), new customer information, password requests, guest books, e-mail correspondence, or online purchases.

Pages that are accented with images and free flowing formats provide a rich experience.  This page is an example of a 'secured page', which is only available to registered users or VIP clients.

The front page (left) of this Photo Album was done in Photo Shop.  The images blend together to form a distinct visual image of what the following pages have to offer. The contents (right) display thumbnail images in each section and easy-to-use navigation buttons.

This site was done for an equipment manufacturer.  The highlights of their pages are the products they sell.  This page design was done in 1997 and has some outdated web page design formats.

This page describes a specific product and provides technical specifications, marketing information, and visually descriptive images.  The RS111 was a new product and the 3D rendered images, done by Visual Impact, were used in a national advertisement before the product was introduced.

This site was done for a steel company.  The 3D logo was also created by Visual Impact.  This site also is focused on providing technical specifications and company information.  The site has a very basic format and was completed in about one week.
