Hi all! In what is usually a slower time of year with the holidays and tax time approaching, KILMERHANSEN has been pleasantly busy. With three web projects already in various stages of our design process and a fourth project’s work agreement just in the door, 2012 is already starting as our best year yet. 2011 and now 2012 are showing us a more diverse set of businesses as well. Our web design clients range from photographers, foundations, and health associations to financial advisers and lawyers.

2011 also gained us three website maintenance projects, welcome tasks to fill the hours between major design work. We are excited to continue to offer this service to individuals and businesses who need small changes made but don’t have the time or knowledge to complete them.

Thank you to our past clients who continue to spread the word about our services!

Good news for October! KILMERHANSEN has added two new creative minds to our team. Kevin Looney is a long time friend and fellow designer with wonderful illustrative talent. Jeff Will has been imagining one of a kind photographic pieces for years. With their input and expertise, KILMERHANSEN looks to be bigger and better this winter and into 2012. Check out our about us page to learn more about them!

We are also faster! We’ve changed web hosts and we can already see a difference in loading time for our site. We aren’t naming names but boy are we happy to have switched.

Keep your eyes on us for more great stuff in the months to come.

The past few months and definitely the last two weeks have been busy here at KILMERHANSEN. In September so far we’ve pushed three websites live. Thank you to

the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society

Chieko Watanabe of Dominate Your Business

and Darrell Toland of Toland Creative


for hiring us to build or improve their online presence. We look forward to their continued success. To view larger screenshots of these websites, read about the companies, and view more of our website design work please visit our web gallery.

Grays Harbor Roller Derby has been newly founded and approached KILMERHANSEN about a logo to represent themselves. Based in a logging town, the woman wanted elements that reflected tools of the trade like axes and saw blades. They also needed to identify themselves as derby girls with either rollerskates or helmets. Through several revisions (one included a Lumber Jill!) the Grays Harbor Roller Derby logo was born. Sweet but tough, they are sure to make their mark (and maybe leave some marks!) in the derby world. Good luck ladies!!!

Bella Vista Photography specializes in real estate, architectural, and design-related photography. A line art, brush stroke combination of a camera and a home was created to show exactly what this company provides. A logo that can stand alone without text if needed and still capture the essence of the company.
