"The proper selection of typography in a design can set the appropriate theme and mood that the designer is going for. There are a lot of free fonts on the web - created by talented designers and type foundries."

eFlux Design Group is a small and dedicated company run as a sole proprietorship backed by a network of skilled, supporting professionals. The goal is to provide design services that are a cut above the average design firm, with an aim towards quality over quantity.

While there are more than a handful of designers and design firms to be found, few can realistically provide a professional level of quality through both graphic design and usability. Many may look and agree that a website is 'good' or functional; but fact shows a large percentage do not truly understand the difference between a mediocre and good design. It is only when we are given a tangible comparison that we gain the knowledge of difference.

The goal of any design or project, is ultimately to satisfy the vision and constraints of the customer, while balancing the desire to create.

Through the use of a blog-type structure, I hope that you will find the site both informative and easier to navigate. It has been designed to be fully searchable by title, content and date, as well as being open to comment on specific articles from anonymous users.

With the goal of further enhancing the usability of the website, I've also added an interactive Quote Generator which can be found under the Services section. Simply drag the sliders to set the base options for your design - PSD to xHTML, or custom xHTML web design and the amount of pages you require in relation to turnaround time - then select a few simplified options below based on your needs. You may then directly submit the estimate by email by click of a button - its that simple

The most important aspects of advertising beyond strategic planning of placement, are the marketing materials themselves. Your goal is to provide as much information with as little as possible (read: to the point) about your product or service, in a visually appealing manner. How you do this, of course, either makes or breaks a potential ad campaign.

There are many aspects to creating a well designed ad, but one of them, coming up with that 'killer' headline, can be a daunting task.

The latest eFlux banner ad plays fun with the process of designing an online advertisement.

Email marketing can be an effective means of mass advertising on a budget. You’re able to control exactly who will receive your marketing efforts then categorize and collect information based on what does and does not work while providing potential customers a means to quickly view services of interest. The benefits of reaching potentially thousands of customers through email is unmatched when it comes to both cost and time-to-delivery.

There are many options for creating email campaigns, but most online services are cumbersome and require a more advanced knowledge of HTML coding. Cross-compatibility is a huge issue non-designers are oblivious to. To obtain a truly customized and unique email campaign, design expertise is crucial. Businesses expect that you can merely login to find a template, change the name to that of their own, add content and then send to their email list. The truth of the matter is that it is never that simple.

How does it work? Maps and markers are placed within the post by the CMS. You are able to search and pinpoint specific geographic locations within your document editor and have the exact location output (as shown above) with your saved article.

Options such as the size of the map, markers, default view (Map, Satellite, Hybrid etc.), control visibility, zoom level and placement of route lines are all possible with the WYSIWYG editor.

Not only has the quality standard for website usability and interactivity risen in recent years, so has the desire for interesting content delivered in a television-like format. Integrating video is becoming a very popular device for creating and maintaining both interest and lasting impression for your website.

Websites that provide constantly updated content have a more lasting appeal and of course have a higher chance of attracting repeat visitors. Sites that provide a good mix of visual presentation and textual information, quite logically, are more interesting than those that do not. In these scenarios, having the ability to update your website's content to include video can become an invaluable tool. Consider the possibilities when planning your new or next website and look for a web system that allows customers with little to no web or document creation experience the ability to easily maintain a variety of content.
