Graphic design and corporate communications materials

Bring your business point across with a performing, professionally-designed, corporate identity suite!

A corporate identity, or a company logo, is not just an image that people learn to recognize you by... A logo is the symbol that represents who you are and what you stand for, what you do and how well you perform while doing it.

Of course, you, or one of your friends, may be able to "design" a "logo". However, chances are that you will never capture in one simple image the true substance of your business or the interest and respect of your targeted market! So, unless, you are yourself, an experienced corporate identity designer, we advise you against taking this task in your own hands. Learn why...

Among other materials we design:

company/personal logos
business cards
letterheads
envelopes
postcards
webcards
promotional street cards
CD/DVD labels and inserts
CD/DVD cases and packaging
billboards
posters
HTML e-mail signatures
targeted display ads (print/online)
custom designs







Website Design Services - Why would you want a website, anyway?

Pacific Webcard is a Proud Winner of the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Golden Web Award* for excellence in web design, originality and content development. Our approach to the website design process is straight forward. Here's how it works:

  1. Go to this page and request a free website design estimate.

  2. Within 24 hours from your request you will receive from us, via email, a website design quote including the links to our extended online portfolio.

  3. You'll have a day or so to go over the proposal after which we'll call you to setup a meeting and discuss the proper action plan.

  4. After the meeting, we start the project. The work-in-progress is posted online, under a dedicated web address, so you can follow the design progress and send us your feedback.
When we design your website, we'll also support you with choosing and registering your domain name and setting up the required server space, e-mails, forms, etc. Should you require, we would be happy to provide you with an internet marketing plan for your new web site.

Are you planning to start a home-based business? Then check this special offer that we designed for a Small-Office-Home-Office business environment. Click here to learn why you will, or will not need/want a website...

*The Golden Web Award contest was no longer held after 2004.



Directory Ads and Online Advertising Programs

Directory Business Listings are texual ad listings displayed in alphabetical order throughout the directory categories and published indefinitely for a small, one-time fee. more...

Directory Enhanced Exposure Ads. are boxed ads that contain both text and images and are published indefinetely in all the directory categories that you specify in your submission.


These ads are called 'enhanced' for three reasons:

  1. Their visual presentation is enhanced - the content of the ads is boxed.
  2. In addition to a text description and (of course) a direct link to your web site, these ads can include your company's logo, or an image (that you provide).
  3. They are placed at the right hand side of the directory pages, which means that they are spotted right away. more...

Directory Display Ads are image, animated or video ads published indefinetely in ALL the directory categories that you specify in your submission. more...

Directory Marquee Ads are highly visible, large display ads which are published at the top of each directory category. These ad spots do not rotate ads. Only YOUR AD is shown in the chosen marquee spot, continuously, for one year. more...

Directory Webcard Ads are stand-alone, pop-up index card ads attached to the directory business listings. more...

Online Business Profiles are fully-functional business web pages which we host and maintain temporarily or indefinetely, as needed. Usually, business profile pages act as online presence alternatives to websites that are either under development or are being redesigned. These ad products are offered packaged with a number of supporting services such as ongoing content management and a limited number of web marketing features. Routinely, in terms of traffic generated, a business profile in our directory exceeds the performance of a web site operated by an average small business! more...

SOHO Ads. If you're starting, or already operating a home-based business, check this section and see how we can help you advertise your small operation. more...



Image Recovery and File Digitization

If you lost your digital master files for the artwork of one or more past or current projects, but have at least a printed copy or screen capture of those files, we will rebuid your files to their original formats.

Or, if you have an idea sketched on paper and don't know how to put it into a digital camera-ready file format, then it is US that you want do it for you. We use industry digital standards, so you won't have to pay others - again - to redo the work.




Digital Image Processing

We do high-volumes of digital image processing for both print and online delivery in all combinations of color modes and file formats for:

  1. Document Management System Compilations.

  2. Business Presentations - PowerPoint, Online Courses, Training and Technical Support, etc.

  3. Print, Web and CD-ROM/DVD Catalog Delivery.
    CD-ROM catalogs can be sent directly to clients, customers and prospects. They can also be used during business meetings, at trade shows for presentations, or as special promotional gifts. See here samples of CD designs.
    We also develop CD/WEB hybrid versions of CD-ROM catalogs which contain links to the latest content and information added to your website.

  4. CD/DVD Image Libraries (for your in-house production) and Image Database Deliveries.



Web Site Management and Administration

If you are not happy with the performance of your site, or if you feel that you are paying too much money to have it managed, then perhaps it's time to change that. If so, click here and send us your URL. We will review your site and send you a proposal to manage it.



Site Analysis Reviews

A web site analysis review is a comprehensive assessment in which we evaluate your site's architecture, web design, load-up speed, search engine positioning and other web metrics of interest. The results are compiled in a recommendations report that suggests the course of action that you should follow in order to improve your online performance. In this section you will also find info about other Web Strategy Management services that we offer. And, while at it, check our e-business notes...



Internet Marketing Services

Who knows about you on the web? Is your web site making money? How do your visitors behave while visiting your website? What makes them buy? Why would you want a website in the first place?

The internet is not television. If you spent thousands of dollars on designing & maintaining you web site, paid high "consulting" fees, etc. and still(!) no one knows that you are there and have what they've been looking for, then you need internet marketing services. Learn how we deal with this issue...



Project Management Services.

We offer project management and coordinating services for a number of print, online and advertising industries. In addition to web and graphic design, our project management expertise covers web marketing & online advertising models and strategies, newsprint ad creation and automation, CD production, image processing, etc.

If you are seeking a project management contractor for a very specific project in one of these fields, or in related industries, call us for details.




Book Design and Self-Publishing Consulting

Since 1999 we have produced numerous books on a variety of subjects -- technology, cosmetics, food, health, etc. Some of these books we also published and sold in over twenty countries in both printed and eBook formats.

If you have your own subject and talent, or a good writer, and would like to publish and sell your own book, we can help you. When you do so, the book is published under your own name, and you retain all the rights to it.

No, we do not print books; our partners do. No, we do not charge you, at any time, royalties or any other fees on the sales of your book. Our involvement in the publishing of your book is strictly limited to its production and to showing you what to do once the book is finished. At that time, we will put you on the right path, in terms of marketing your new book. After that, we are not interested on how, where, or for how much you sell it.




Newspaper Production Consulting

If you are a newsprint publication with higher-than-acceptable production costs, contact us. We have ten years of experience in newspaper production environments, in particular in setting up digital pagination systems and automated ad image processing routines (display, classifieds, auto, real estate) for both printed and online publishing.

START YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

- Nobody wants
   to hire you.

- That's no good!
- But nobody can
   fire you either!

- And that...


THAT IS PRICELESS!!

There are over 2 million self-employed Canadians and almost 17 million self-employed Americans today. By the end of this decade, it is expected that 20% of the Canadian work-force will be self-employed, while in the United States the figure will exceed 45 million.

If you, too, are an entrepreneur, then you understand what it takes to start a business and what it's like to operate it, at least in the beginning, on a small budget and other limited resources.

OUR RATECARD


With a growing number of projects, we have also been facing a widening in the spectrum of work that we do.

Plus, as each project is not only unique, but also becomes more and more sophisticated (just as the business behind it) we felt that a flat rate card would no longer do justice to a project, nor would it continue to be efficient to our operations.


• • • • •

For these reasons, we now offer all our services exclusively on a "per-project-cost" basis.

• • • • •

This format not only permits us to accommodate all budgets, but also supports all our efforts to monitor time frames and to keep you informed of where your project stands at any given time in its development cycle.

• • • • •

One last word here. As you, your business needs and your available budget are unique, no project cost is engraved in stone. We also have a wide range of home-based businesses on our client list. If you too, are one of them, then you are on the right page! We'll do all we can to accommodate your particular scenario, so no budget is too small, no project is too big.

• • • • •

We will not accept submissions of materials related to pyramid schemes, mlm, network-marketing, "branchising", club memberships, listings of any business opportunities which require up front or periodic payments or recruitment of other members or sub-distributors and agents.
