PDDG Design Notes – October 2024

-ISSUE 057-

Welcome to the October edition of our newsletter, where we’re serving up more treats than tricks! While your neighbors are busy handing out candy, we’re dishing out bold colors, killer fonts, and layouts so sharp they could carve a pumpkin.

And if your website’s looking scarier than a haunted house, we’ve got the design spells to turn it into something boo-tiful.

No need to knock on our door—just open up and let the creative magic in. Because when it comes to design, the only thing we’ll leave you screaming for is more!

UTILITIES

This month marks six years of collaboration with Solano County Water Agency (SCWA), a wholesale water agency for cities and agricultural districts in Solano County, California.

Since 2018, we have worked on a wide array of website development projects for SCWA, including the redesign of four agency websites: SCWA, NorCal Conservation Planning Partners, Solano Groundwater Sustainability Plan, and Westside Sac IRWM. We currently provide ongoing support for the design development, maintenance, and enhancement of all four websites.

AGRICULTURE

Our web development team recently refreshed and launched the dedicated conference website for the California Alfalfa and Forage Association’s 2024 Symposium.

For the past 11 years, our agency has provided a range of website design and development services for the Association’s main website and the annual Symposium site.

In addition to our long-standing work with the Association, we have collaborated with more than 20 other ag-related associations throughout the country, providing such services as branding, graphic design, website design, copywriting, social media management, production, signage, and promotional items.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

We are thrilled to welcome Sutter County, California to the PDDG Family. Located north of our Sacramento HQ, Sutter County is known for good schools, low crime rate, world class outdoor hunting and fishing activities, excellent proximity to golf courses, professional sports venues, a strong arts presence, and diverse dining options.

The county’s economic development team has enlisted PDDG to develop its first-ever standalone website with the goal of propelling the county to a heightened visibility among industry professionals, site selectors, and developers.

Stay tuned for the website launch in the coming months.
