300Pix Design & Marketing

For over ten years we have been providing commercial and personal Internet solutions for businesses and individuals. Regardless of the enormous growth of the Internet in recent years one of the questions we still often get is: Why do I need a website?

Indeed, what do you need the web site for?

To show your current and prospective customers what you have to offer before they come to your place of business
To sell your products and services online
To share your artistic talent with your friends and family or future employers
To represent you 24 hours a day - to work for you when you rest or party
To reach people across the street or across the globe

The possibilities are countless!

Unlike the leads from traditional advertising, each visitor to your web site is, most probably, interested in what you have to offer. Otherwise they wouldn't have searched for you or your product and services. Another big advantage of the Internet presence is the possibility of immediate feedback from your visitors which is impossible with traditional advertising.

We pride ourselves in the ability to work with you to understand what exactly you need. Therefore we offer our customers the web site that will precisely fulfill their Internet needs and requirements. Same principle is valid for all the marketing materials we provide - print materials, photography, videography or any other media solutions.

Whether it is a private website for sharing events through on-line picture or video galleries or a corporate web site to present a complete corporate profile; whether you need an on-line portfolio to showcase your talent or a complete Internet business tool that will bring you new leads and will drive your sales up, we can design and develop exactly the website you need.

In addition, we can create all your promotional print materials to be fully integrated with your online image. Whether you are starting a new company or want a facelift of your existing company, we can design and redesign all the materials to create or improve your Corporate Identity.

If your web presence or print materials require digital imaging we would take the photographs or shoot the videos and optimize them for you.

Our commitment to you is to help you take your marketing materials to a higher level.
