We’re working on a business identity package for an information security consultant. We certainly had a large canvass of ideas with which to work and came up with some (ahem) very disparate styles during the concept rough stage. Stay tuned. When we have time, we’ll get a design brief up so you can learn more. [...]
The news of Hurricane Katrina hit us very hard. Fortunately, the people we knew who lived in the region are all safe. The news has been disturbing on many levels. In part, it’s because we’ve been involved in safety and security awareness training for many years — in the Navy and in the private sector. [...]
In our July 3rd entry, we noted that we’d set up Inkworkswell.net at another hosting provider. Our main site, Inkworkswell.com, remains at its current hosting provider. After nearly three days of outages at the inkworkswell.net site, we are reminded how difficult it can be to find good hosting services like those provided by WDDX.net. We [...]
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be partnering with a freelance photographer, Renny McGovern. Look for a special portfolio of her work, coming soon.

While we are happy with the services provided by our Inkworkswell.net host, we sure miss the bells and whistles provided by the Inkworkswell.com host, WDDX.net. It has fabulous statistics. The statistics alone make it worth the boutique price. Take our word for it.
We’ll be working with a small press to produce the book cover design and interior page design for the first in a series of coaching/management books. It’s good stuff: How to motivate employees through coaching. One of the reasons why we loved the author’s work was the stories of how a coaching management style allowed [...]
Our latest client runs a suite of sites that are ranked number one for his key words. As we work on the suite of Web sites, we’ll keep you posted on the nifty things we can do with CSS and Web Standards. They can really boost search engine rankings and improve usability — crucial for [...]
Inkworkswell.net is up and running. It always was, now it’s on a different server so we can host our latest brainchild, Design-L, a list for the discussion of online and print design. Design-L is a collaborative effort, the work of four people (and more if you are interested). Contact us or subscribe, so you can [...]
