:: our offerings ::



:: front-end website design ::
One of our specialties lies in developing the look and feel of your site, imbuing style without sacrificing functionality. Our team includes web-interface/design experts that meticulously research your target audience and produce solutions that are not only eye-popping, but also easy to use and navigate. Whether your site is a high-end e-commerce site or a promotional website for a product launch, you can be sure that it will look stunning as well as function beautifully.


:: database-driven web content ::
When your company has an update and it needs to be on the web now, why worry if your vendor will be able to update your site in a timely manner? We can build sites that are database-driven with administrative back-end interfaces that allow you to easily maintain your site so that updates are a snap. Take the two week business trip to Tokyo without having to worry about a stagnant website knowing that you can update anytime and anywhere with web access.

Delivering information in a timely fashion is one of the cornerstones of an effective site; so leave the heavy duty programming and design work to us and we'll give you the tools to take care of the rest, leaving you with time to spare.


:: e-commerce ::
Building a bricks-and-mortar store is difficult enough but building a store out of virtual 1's and 0's is a logistical nightmare. However, you can count on Design Nation to create an e-commerce site that will be sales-focused in presentation and flawless in execution, giving you more time to concentrate on the millions of other things you have to do. Better yet, get one of our Internet marketing and promotions experts to advise you on the best way to reach your desired demographic through advertising, search engine optimization, and media placement and then you'll really be in business.


:: software and application solutions ::
The best software engineering solutions are built in such a way that the user doesn't notice the nuts and bolts of the technology at work. When it comes to technical and backend solutions, we strive to make the technology fully transparent and seamlessly integrate it into the client's technical framework.

We have a thorough and disciplined approach to software engineering that reflects the practical necessity of ensuring quality solutions. From definition to deployment, we work in a pragmatic fashion to achieve real business objectives, always focusing on the end user experience.


:: multimedia ::
More often than not, animation and sound on websites today are implemented with the goal of spicing up a site, only to fall flat when the user gets bored, hasn't a clue how to navigate the unorthodox menu system, or simply becomes annoyed at the spectacle.

When we develop multimedia for the web and CD-rom presentations, our focus on appropriateness is our way of ensuring that your messaging and information are not over-shadowed by flashy eye-candy and maddening techno music samples (oomph-oomph-oomph-oomph) that serve no point. We'd rather take the time to carefully storyboard animation and sound that will succinctly capture the essence of what you are trying to convey, at the right time, on the right project. Even if it calls for the oomph-oomph-oomph-oomph techno music.


:: traditional print media ::
Design Nation can also address all your traditional print media needs such as, among other things, corporate identity pieces like logos and business cards, collateral material, ads, and brochures. We have a reliable network of printers that our designers have been working with for years, allowing us to manage your project from concept to completion. Plus, our designers love it when they can produce something tangible that can be held or proudly stuck to a refrigerator door.


:: special skills ::
If you have a special creative project, but don't know quite where to go, let us know and we'll see if we can't help you out. We have music composers, sculptors, illustrators, sfx makeup artists, script writers, and filmmakers amongst our creative lot that could be the missing element that you're seeking. We're just itching to use our other talents on a juicy project.


If there is something we can clarify or expand upon, please don't hesitate to call us at 919.468.4673 to schedule an appointment. However, if you already have a clear idea of your project scope/requirements and would like a Request for Proposal (RFP), please contact us and our staff will assess your situation and get right back to you.
