FileLink is a local records storage and management company. With an increase in digital storage options, they needed a modern website to attract clients. This site gives an open, fresh look while maintaining the professionalism so critical to security-based companies.Our process began with a thorough assessment not only of FileLink’s business model, but most importantly their company values and mission. FileLink is remarkable in their field for building personal relationships with their clients, and for hands-on service and quick turnaround on requests. They often contrast themselves to their less-friendly national competitor, Iron Mountain.

The design uses this association to create clear contrast, with larger clickable areas and multiple methods of direct communication to create an inviting image. The site overall is quite simple, focusing visitor action to getting an estimate or otherwise making direct contact. All content is managed with a local installation of WordPress to ensure the client can make future changes easily.

The client handled writing copy for the new site, by request.

This project was for a start-up business to act as an agent for New Orleans balcony rentals. The design needed to cater to party-goers – local and vacationing alike. The site also had several technical requirements: e-commerce options for online payment (and security to go with it); the ability to flexibly post and update balcony clients, as well as highlight preferred clients and allow for banner ads; maintain a “members only” section of the site.

A personal challenge was designing a site showcasing New Orleans nightlife while keeping it classy instead of raunchy. It was also an opportunity to explore texture and light effects in the design, to great effect.
