We can take however much time you want at this design stage. I don't keep an official "concept limit," with the expectation that we work within reason - my clients tend to be happy by the first or second concept. I send you a concept within one week, and we go together from there, changing directions as we need. From these philosophical understandings, the design springs forth intuitively. I take great care to understand, clearly, not only what you hope to achieve, but the unique place you are coming from, and the heart of what you are offering. It's okay if you know exactly what you want, or if you don't have a clue where to start. It emerges, always, from a unique insight into your philosophy, and a close, collaborative process between you and me. The visuals are always custom-designed by me, so your website will be one of a kind. You will know it's built on stable ground, and is ready to meet the modern web. This powerful back-end structure provides clean and solid code, search engine optimization, mobile responsiveness, and security for your website. Lately I've been using the Genesis Framework as a foundation from which to build my Wordpress websites, and will continue to use it by default in most of my projects to come. I find it very satisfying when I hand a website off to a client, knowing they've been empowered to make all they changes they wish (for the most part), on their own.

This powerful blogging software not only saves time in set-up (saving money, for you), but can be designed to take on any appearance or functionality imaginable, and most importantly, puts the website's control right in your hands. Exploring both the big picture and the small details, and the “why” behind our projects, gets us excited about working through design problems.More and more, I have been moving to Wordpress based designs - these days, almost exclusively. We enjoy the challenge of using our imaginations to visually translate and communicate new ideas.
As such, projects focused on environmental conservation and education are of particular interest to us. In true West Coast style, we’re inspired by the balance within nature, and similarly value balance in our personal lives. We love connecting people and take pride in building upon our own networks.
By keeping our work local, we feel and see the benefits of our efforts. It excites us to contribute to our local community. We work with individuals and companies who honestly want to improve our world. We believe in communicating transparently, and in creating design that communicates genuine messages - no greenwashing. To stay focused on what matters most, we have expanded on our definition of sustainability and the core values that keep us motivated: Please connect if you’d like to collaborate! Backyard Creative’s Focus (AKA “Ethical Filter”) We’re also proud members of 1% for the Planet donating 1% of revenues annually to values-aligned BC-based non-profit organizations working to improve our world. As localists, we believe change starts in our own “backyard”.īackyard Creative was established in 2007 in Vancouver, BC, by Lisa Hemingway, a seasoned creative strategist and graphic designer. After working in more traditional workplaces, Lisa wanted to lead her own company using a different kind of business model - one that would attract a team of like-minded creatives to contribute to projects while maintaining their autonomy, and allow Backyard Creative to flex and meet clients’ diverse requirements. We believe good design not only communicates efficiently and embodies the craft of design, but also considers its environmental, social, economic and cultural impacts (otherwise known as the 4-pillars of sustainability). Backyard Creative is a boutique graphic design studio operating on the inherent belief that high-quality design can effect positive change in our communities.
