Small Business Identity Design
Are you a new small business or an existing business looking to improve your business identity? Schildbach Design brings together logo design, collateral design (such as business cards, brochures and letterhead), and web design so that your business has a unified, clear, professional business identity.
Stephen Schildbach has 18 years of working with clients, combining his long time skill of illustration with his attention to creative graphic design and practical marketing resulting in a successful business identity. His clients in work in businesses such as senior home care, counseling, psychotherapy, and horticulture.
Unlike many graphic designers who don't know how to code websites, Schildbach Design is able to provide both print collateral and a solid web presence for your Business Identity.
Web Design & Web Development
Schildbach Design specializes in web design and development. Stephen Schildbach values making websites that stand out with high quality design, are user friendly, and are coded to have high visibility on the web. Whether you need a custom website design, website maintenance, or need help with your web presence, Schildbach Design consults in plain English and builds sites in both html and content management systems.
When you want to be able to update your own site, Stephen works in Concrete5 or Wordpress, two of the best CMS's on the market. Wordpress is well known and great for blogging, Concrete5 may not be well known, but I have found it to be the best CMS for small businesses, nonprofits, institutions and artists. Concrete5 is easy to use, and has more flexibility that any other CMS that I have worked in.
Additionally, Stephen educates his clients while working with them; helping them learn how to update their own site. He even posts site maintenance instructional videos that they can refer to after the site is complete.
