 New clients often ask us for some the URLs of websites we've created. They may even track down someone from one of the companies to do a little digging on us (after all, references are usually the ones you've had exceptional experience with right?). We recently provided a proposal for a realtor who was needing some branding help and a new website. This is the letter she received after contacting one of our former clients (not a provided reference). I worked with Avenue 25 last year to redesign our website when I first joined Grand Canyon Planning Associates. Our website was VERY plain, not very user-friendly and it didn’t provide much of a reason for people to visit or return to the site. After deciding what I wanted our site to do for us, I researched companies to help. I had narrowed it down to a couple of companies – and Avenue 25 had the best pricing/creativity combination.

Hope it doesn't take off though. How will I store photos, wrap Christmas gifts, build dioramas, put my turtle, or file my receipts for tax time?

People have "seen" Jesus imagery all over. From chips to stains, sandwhiches to mountain topography. Leave it to the creatives at an ad agency to make hay out of the whole thing. Nice work. http://www.kitkat-jesus.nl/

 We are only a leading Phoenix web design firm and Phoenix internet marketing agency, because web design, development and internet marketing is our passion! For almost 20 years we have been contributing to the latest advancements in web development, and web design, not because we have to, but because we can. Believe me, it’s never dull around here. Every day at work is like recess to us. But our clients love us because they know we’re on top of things and will always be pushing them up the ladder. We provide the latest advancements in web design Phoenix businesses and national and international organizations need to stay ahead of their industry. Every website we create is a custom web design with custom developed elements to make the website as “sticky” as possible. This means visitors will find the website interesting and want to stay and explore. That creates customers. The goal of every site we develop is ROI. Any way you look at it, a website is a marketing tool. When done poorly it can do serious harm to a business. However, when developed thoughtfully, creatively, with strong marketing elements and when expertly and strategically optimized for search engines, your website can launch your business to the forefront of the industry with a small investment. This is what we’re known for. This is why we’re recognized as one of the top Phoenix web design and Phoenix internet marketing firms in the Valley. Thursday, 10 December 2009

 You may have heard by now that Google intends to add website load time to its ranking algorithm in 2010. That means if your website doesn’t live up to Google’s speed requirements, you could lose your Google position. Google would like web pages to be 100k or less in size. Although speed isn’t the only ranking factor, this has big implications.“So what” you say? Consider that handcuffs are now being placed on our Phoenix web designers, internet marketing firms and website designers everywhere. Sometimes just the CSS files of a page can be almost 100k in size. Almost any site that uses more than a splash of Flash, Javascript or anything other than just plain text could be penalized. Hey, don’t we already have online yellow page directories? Don’t get me wrong, I like Google, but it sure looks like they are trying to dictate how they want websites to be built rather than just listing what websites are out there. Shouldn’t they be encouraging online creativity and new developments? Avenue 25 is one of the leading Arizona advertising agencies. Unparalleled customer service, creative design and internet marketing have always been our strong points. We're the leading graphic designer Phoenix has to offer, and we are also ranked as a top web designer Phoenix Arizona has to offer. Monday, 30 November 2009

 Ask any local country listener for the best voice in the Valley and you'll hear "Big Shoe Stu!" He's the voice of country but without the accent. That's just part of what makes him our favorite local male vo talent. The rest is his creativity, experience, ability to "make it happen" when you need it (usually yesterday,) his high-tech, in-home sound "STU"dio, and his uncanny ability to come up with any voice or dialect you need on command. So how do we win those awards? Amazing talent like Big Shoe Stu Evans! Now we don't usually gush, but this guy is GOOD! And he really does wear a size 15 shoe! Just between you and us...here's his number 602-692-8688. (You'll thank us for this one.) Avenue 25 is a full service Arizona advertising agency, Phoenix internet marketing company and web development firm since 1991. Wednesday, 18 November 2009

 15 years ago today, the first "cyberspace" advertisement appeared on www.HotWired.com, the first online digital magazine and sister of Wired magazine. The ad was for AT&T. Other advertisers weren't sure they wanted to connect with people on such a personal level. SAY WHAT?!!! Very interesting article from Frank D'Angelo who was involved in the whole website advertising "experiment." (Were you also aware that the first use of CLICK HERE! in an online ad resulted in a 78% click through rate?) Avenue 25 is the best graphic designer Phoenix has to offer. It is one of the oldest advertising agencies Phoenix, Arizona names one of the best. It is a top ranked Phoenix advertising agency by national outside sources. It is the top ranked web designer Phoenix, AZ calls best. And Avenue 25 is ranked by national web professionals as being one of the top 3 Arizona website developers and leading Phoenix internet marketing firms. Tuesday, 20 October 2009

Able Tree Care asked us to design a shirt to give to clients. Here's the thing, they wanted a "cool" factor so people wouldn't throw them away, but may actually wear them. Good thinking, Corbett and Gary.
