We are DesignCode Partners.
Let’s work together.

We make ideas happen.

DesignCode is a hybrid idea firm where visionary design and insightful marketing meets masterfully executed software solutions. We help our clients define and build relevant brands across multiple mediums through collaboration and serious experience.

What does that mean? Right-brainers working with left-brainers in harmony, under one roof, for a common goal. And that means consistency, direct lines of communication and better ideas. It also means we produce top-notch work and happy clients because we're committed, responsible, detail-oriented and hardworking. It shows in our work.

Our collective experience spans from small and large companies to boutiques and agencies, entrepreneurs and everything in between. We've worked across many industries, from retail and technology to non-profit and the arts.

And we've earned some publicity and awards along the way. But our main goal is to help you succeed by having you stand out from the crowd, reach your target audiences, and propel your business.

Whether you need a logo or SEO, a brand identity system or a new website, a marketing plan or a PR campaign, or a mobile app or custom software, all you need to do is make one call.

That’s our story. Now tell us yours and how can we help. Say hello.

We wear a lot of hats.

We help define who you want to be.

Some logos were created while working at other firms and are shown solely to illustrate our design abilities.

We bring good web to life.

“Good code” and passion set us apart.

Nearly all web and software development requires unique backend programming, or code, in order to manage data. That might include anything from simple data entry forms, seo, content management systems, and intra- and extranet sites, to more complex web services, project catalog management, asset tracking, and mobile applications.

Our DesignCode team has the expertise needed to develop your website or business application, whether it's launching a new idea or replacing an antiquated system that's not performing up to par. Depending on your needs, we can manage any phase of your project's lifecycle, or the entire process, from information gathering, planning and strategy, design, development, testing and deployment to ongoing maintenance.

Besides website analysis, coding and maintenance, some of our other software experience includes systems for:

  • Mobile salesforce applications
  • Inventory and order management
  • Customer relations management
  • Wireless asset tracking
  • Scientific pressure calibration
  • Semiconductor test and validation tracking
  • Employee 360 feedback
  • Product catalog management
  • E-commerce + credit card processing
  • Touch screen kiosk
  • Automated email distribution
  • Survey management and reporting
  • Mobile productivity applications
  • Project reporting and tracking

For more information about our software portfolio, give us a shout. We'd love to hear from you.

Who do your customers think you are?

It’s a busy world out there. Tweet. Post. Like. Comment. (Can you say who you are in 140 characters or less?)

To establish and reinforce your brand, you need to take charge of the conversation. We can help you. We can define and deliver your brand message consistently across all relevant media.

As strategic-minded consultants, we can help you identify the personas of your target audiences, and also make sure you have identified your own brand persona too.
