[/twocol_one] [twocol_one_last]The Vancouver Business Journal published their Business Spotlight about Workshed! Both the author (Jodie Gilmore) and photographer (Buck Heidrick) were enjoyable to work with and did a nice job of conveying what we’re trying to do for our clients.

A Fresh Coat of Paint
A fresh coat of paint.
Well by now the word is out, Workshed is under new ownership…and look what they did to the logo and website!
Sure, we could’ve left things as they were, worked less hours, ate a few more meals, but then would it really be ours? We love the tradition of Workshed, the way the name evokes (for us at least) feelings of craftsmanship, service, and small town values and it was important to demonstrate our own style and perspective.
Plus the new office is in downtown Washougal (as a Camas grad Joe cannot utter the phrase go Panthers!) so for fun we brought out the orange in the logo and website. It’s very much a work in progress, but go ahead and pull it up on your phone or tablet. It should (assuming everything is functioning properly) automatically resize itself to fit your device. Web nerds call this a responsive design and we think it’s crucial for businesses on the web.
Why you ask?
Just think how often you look something up on your phone. Maybe you like long load times and pinching, zooming, and scrolling all over. The people that track this sort of behavior say most people don’t and that it means lost revenue. How a website looks on a mobile device is one of the questions from our “3 Question Website Review,” if you want a copy just click the button.
