PDDG Design Notes – March 2025

-ISSUE 062-

March is here, which means spring is stretching, yawning, and slowly deciding whether to show up. While the weather plays hard to get, we’re already in full bloom.

Here’s a fun fact to kick things off. In March of 1989, Tim Berners-Lee pitched the idea that would become the World Wide Web. That’s right, March is basically the birthday month of websites. We like to think every beautiful site we design is a little tribute to that genius idea. (We’ll pause while you sing happy birthday to your homepage.)

This month, we’re proud to showcase a few recent projects that brought our clients' visions to life. From bold branding to polished websites, it’s all about turning great ideas into results that look as good as they perform.

Let’s make your message bloom. Are you ready to march forward?

REAL ESTATE

We are excited to share a fresh new look for the Waco Association of Realtors! Our amazing graphic design team recently presented the Association with a brand new visual identity that reflects their professionalism, energy, and strong presence in the Waco community and Central Texas area.

The updated logo embraces a modern aesthetic while maintaining a sense of trust and reliability. Clean lines, bold typography, and a professional color palette work together to give the brand a refreshed identity that stands out.

The client summed it up perfectly: “I want to say I love it! It's clean, professional, bold, and fun.”

We are proud to have played a part in this brand refresh and cannot wait to see the new logo representing the Waco Association of Realtors in everything they do!

SECURITY

Next Generation Alarms (NGA), a leading provider of advanced security, fire, and surveillance solutions for commercial and residential customers in Connecticut, recruited the PDDG team in 2024 to develop and deploy a new website.

Over the past year, our web development team has been collaborating closely with the NGA team to identify the most impactful and relevant content, messaging, and visuals for the new site. We developed several prototypes, created a simplified main menu structure, and deployed a clean, professional website presence aimed at engaging both commercial and residential customers.

The new website is a key marketing tool for NGA as they prepare for the next chapter of company growth.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

In partnership with the Full Capacity Marketing team, we assisted the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) with a full website redesign and relaunch.

The new website offers a vastly improved platform for showcasing the Board’s many important workforce initiatives and does a better job of telling the story of the Board’s composition and role in the community.

We have had the pleasure of working with WDBCCC since 2018 on several projects, including branding, graphic design, and website design deliverables.
