PIXINT LLC, Web Design Company - Merry Christmas Home Page Design -

Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Recently I came to know about a New Jersey based creative and usability service provider and visited their website. The company is called Pixint. Their website looks great. It has a typical corporate look and they had maintained that flavor throughout their site. What attracts me most about them is they never tried to say more than they actually do.


They maintained a moderate profile in their site; neither exaggerating nor trying to be too modest. They provide a wide variety of services starting from regular graphic design, web design and development to consulting services and usability services like GUI creation and functional prototypes. They have a talented workforce in Chennai, INDIA and I guess this helps the company to serve their clients with an affordable rate. It’s Christmas time and they have a beautifully designed homepage to celebrate the merry time. It’s worth viewing; so visit the site and enjoy! Merry Christmas!

Rarefly Logos - A Sleek Logo Design Company from New Jersey, USA

I always prefer websites that are clean and sleek. These days we have too much on websites; in fact, a lot more than we actually require. So the competition is stiff and everybody tries to do something unique to stand out. But as they keep trying to formulate uniqueness, most sites start looking just the same, using same strategies to allure more visitors. The best thing to do under these circumstances is sticking to the basics; give the visitors exactly what they are looking for.


Rarefly is a site where I think people believe in my idea. It is a hardcore logo design company with a clean and attractive webpage layout. They have their online portfolio where they showcase their works; without a single word. After all, it’s all about their works! They clearly talk about four individual logo design packages they provide and their advantages. There is a shopping cart for your convenience. It’s a good logo design site to visit as they have a clean and clear approach to everything they offer… and I guess good to appoint them for any logo work too.

Steppy Frog, A New Web and Graphic Design Studio in Chennai, INDIA

Monday, December 22, 2008
There are a number of web design studios in India and the figure is always growing. So another new studio should not create any extra buzz, but Steppy Frog (www.steppyfrog.com) stands as an exception to me. Looks like it’s a new design and development studio in Chennai and had launched their site only a few days back. The first thing that caught my eyes about these guys is that they are quite straight forward in their approach, something that we rarely find these days! They don’t waste your time by talking about their “sales links” with USA or any European country. They are an Indian company and not hesitant to say just that!

Web and Graphic Design Studio

Most of the web design companies tend to show their design and animation skills in own websites to impress the visitors. But this method is so overused that these days it has become almost predictable what you may find in any web design company’s website. But here these guys played smart. They have a clean and simple site to promote their brand. There are no flash intros or sparkling colors to distract your attention. The navigation is simple; you won’t feel you’re lost. They only mean business and that reflects in their site itself.

The next thing that I found interesting about them is their web content. The site contains just the right volume of content which is apt and justified. It’s not overflowing with unnecessary information. Nobody visits a service provider’s website to be a “tech guru” anyway and it seems these people are aware of this fact. I like their style of presentation as well. It feels really good to read their content as it is written in a very free and casual manner.

Now, let’s talk about the variety of services they provide. Of course, they are providing all the other services that you can expect from a web design studio and there is nothing new about it. But they maintain quality and standard and it makes some sense to me. For example, one of their SEO friendly websites ranks No. 1 in Google ranking with some most sought after keywords. As they are a new company, there are not much to display but as beginners, they have some decent works. The guys call themselves the “Froggies” and I feel its worth to take a splash with them.
