It has been a very busy and interesting year around here at Gradient Graphics! We have build relationships with a lot of really great companies and taken part in some really great development projects!
All of the new business has really cut into our free time, and as a result we have neglected our duties here on our website and blog.
As a peace offering we have put together some new desktop wallpapers for you to enjoy for FREE! Simply select your desired screen resolution below and download the all new Gradient Graphics wallpapers.
We all have a job to do

Most clients think that when you hire a website designer to design and build a site for your business, that you can just write the check, sit back, and wait for the magic to happen. While there is some truth to this way of thought, generally speaking, you (the client) have to put a lot of time and work into the development of your website.
What is the Designer’s Job?
We will design the layout for the website, develop/code the website files for presentation on the internet, test the website rigorously in multiple browsers to ensure the integrity of the design across different platforms, and upload the files to an online host to present the website to your customer base.
One thing that most clients overlook when pursuing a web presence is the information that is to be placed on the website. As designers, we are not experts on your business, products, or services. We can plan the layout of the information and images on your website, but we need your help to generate the content that is to be placed on the website…this is where you come in.
Moving Foreward in 2010

Another decade down and one that most of us would like to forget. Sure there were some good things, but all in all, the first decade of the 2000′s was filled with war, steady economic uncertainty and was capped with a colossal crash of our stock market, housing market, and job market. As a business owner, I have had to sharpen my pencil and think of ways to move forward with less capital and while using less resources.
But that was last year. This year is a new year, a new decade, a fresh start to what will hopefully be a bright future. The last 10 years have given me a large list of lessons learned that will be used to better my business, better serve my clients, and help us all overcome the challenges of the next decade.

In case you didn’t know it, Gradient Graphics has a sister photography company by the name of Stephanie DeKoninck Photography. It is my wife Stephanie’s side project and we make a killer photography team! Hopefully sooner, rather than later, we will get a website of her amazing work up and running so you can see what we’ve been up to.

In the web design industry, designer’s RARELY find time to work on their own projects, let alone their own sites. I have been driving myself and my wife nuts talking about needing to give Gradient Graphics a face-lift and bring it up to date.
After a few months of pining over the details about how the site should look and what features it should have, I have finished Gradient Graphics V2.0! The new site has a fresh updated look and tons of new features including this blog that you are reading right now! The GG blog will be a place for me to rant, rave, update, inspire, and so much more. Hopefully it will give you an insight into my passion for design and my crazy day to day life!
