Hi! My name is David Ervin and I'm a freelance designer based out of Northern Indiana. I specialize in web site development and graphic design. I've been designing and developing since 1997 and I thoroughly enjoy what I do.

I am married to my beautiful wife Amber and I have three amazingly unique children, Kyleana, Marcus and little Abram. They are the true inspiration and motivation for what I do.

How I Work

Getting To Know You

Every project begins with me, you, a pad of paper and preferably some coffee. I will gleam everything I can about you, your business and your project needs. This is a critical step towards meeting the goals of every project I do and it starts by asking the right questions. Who are your competitors? Where are the buyers and how do they find you? What do they expect? How do you succeed and how do you measure that success? How will you keep branding in tact? What’s the simplest and most effective way to execute? These are the types of questions we'll be exploring together to achieve optimum return on investment.

My Design Principles

Functional and intuitive design are the building blocks for every website I build and marketing material I create. Your target audience should be able to take action with clarity and simplicity. That's why every project is custom tailored to meet your customers wants and needs.

The Bottom Line

You're the expert at what you do and I'm an expert at what I do. So lets create great things together!

Effects of A Shifting Culture

There's a huge cultural shift going on in our society. The older, what I like to call "fluff advertising", methods of business promotion are falling by the waste side. The conception of new advertising mediums such as the ever-growing social networks has introduced a stripped down version of Corporate America. Gone are the days of smoke and mirrors. A new generation of buyers and trend setters are looking for companies that are intimately personable and understanding of their wants and needs.

So how does this affect your business?

From a marketing and brand development standpoint, it affects everything! The way you write your copy; the way you present your products and services; how you're perceived by the outside world. All of these things need to be taken into careful consideration when developing your online presence and promotional materials. The more you know about your audience, the better you can serve them.

I am intrigued and compelled by this new shift in the marketing and advertising world. I think it's a great turning point for our culture and I try to help my clients understand how they can jump on the bandwagon.
