about us
Website  Design

We design award-winning websites with precision and originality. Our goal is to take your company or organization to the next level, and with the right design, we've been known to reach staggering new heights. We approach every website we design like a work of art. Understand the vision. Communicate with the user. Use psychology in design and user-interface, to make the site truly effective. Every design we create is 100% original, hand-crafted, and unique. All of our work is done in our Chicago office, and nothing outsourced, to ensure complete quality control over the entire process. Our designs aren't just stunning, they're seriously functional. Contact us to learn more.


Programming  &  CMS

Our team handles all of our own programming, specializing in optimized html, CSS, JQuery, Flash and various Content Management Systems in PHP and mySQL. Our clients tell us what they want, and we find the best way to program it and make it functional. Everything we create is scalable -- we prefer to build websites that will be sufficient to grow with you --- and that approach requires us to use the best technologies for every project of any size. Whether it's basic html programming, an open-source CMS, e-commerce, or a fully customized database-driven PHP site coded from scratch, we do it all...in-house, on time, and within budget. Contact us to learn more.


Web Strategy  &  Marketing

Sometimes, simply launching a new web venture isn't enough. There has to be strategy to accomplish short and long term goals, planned meticulously from day one. We work with clients pre and post lauch, creating effective web startegies to market and sell effectively. We handle search engine optimization and marketing, social networking, viral video and PR generation, and more. We've helped hundreds of companies launch new brands or revitalize existing ones. Contact us to learn more.


Branding  &  Marketing

We work with a wide range of clients in branding everything from companies to tangible products. We handle marketing material design, box and packaging design, digital marketing artwork and more. Our goal is to develop new and existing brands by way of graphic design. Our wide range of talent and expertise has allowed us to successfully brand and market a wide range of products, services, and even people, on and off the web. From national coffee franchises, to car companies, we've branded some of the best. Contact us to learn more.


Search  Engine  Optimization

We have extensive experience in analyzing and optimizing our clients websites in any industry. We program, re-code, re-design and calibrate websites to have the most organic search impact, and to drive traffic, and generate sales. We focus on not only the core seo-critical elements of our clients websites, but also the non-technical and overlooked components, which is just as important. Rather than resort to some tricks and gimmicks, like so many other firms, we work to create long-term optimization strategies that stand the test of time. Contact us to learn more.


Graphic  Design

We provide high-end graphic design services for a variety of industries and formats. From printed materials and advertisement, to digital graphics and media, we work closely with our clients to produce highly original and stunning works of art, used for any purpose. We've created graphics for hundreds of clients used in print magazines, tradeshows, television ads, and websites. Contact us to learn more.


Copywriting  &  Content

Sometimes, design alone isn't enough. Relevant and effective content that speaks to the user, can make all the difference. Our in-house copywriters are able to disect any clients brand, and generate fresh and effective copy to fill up websites, advertisements, and marketing materials. We take a fresh look at our clients brands, and write content that addresses the users exact wants and needs. We've written slogans, website content, magazine ads, and even full brochures and books for our diverse clients in over 200 industries. Contact us to learn more.

Cleverbird Creative was just simply amazing. Not only did they get it exactly right in their first attempt to fulfil my design brief, but they picked up the pieces and guided me through the storm of having to fire my programmer and find another ... with a very tight deadline. They were highly professional, showed great attention to detail, and did all the work with a smile. I have already given them more work and passed their details on to others I know. I highly recommend them and am immensely thankful. Lovely ...
