combining modern design with
custom produced photography...
Seattle, Washington based Balmain Design creates attractive, tailored websites for clients who prefer to avoid generic sites that come with that "template look." With Balmain Design the emphasis is on custom design, lean coding practices, and accessibility using Modern Web Standards.
custom photography...
Balmain Design was founded by Maxwell Balmain, a Seattle photographer with 20 years experience in media and commercial photography. See the main photography site at Balmain Photography.
The internet is littered with commercial sites that feature generic stock photographs - images that are available to anyone with stock image CD's or a modem. What is missing with these sites is a sense of real local identity and individuality. Producing "real" onsite images will have a huge impact on presenting a focused message in a competitive internet world.
combined services at a reduced price...
Major corporations and institutions can afford the time and expense of employing separate services like graphic design, photography, page development, advertising, database development etc. What about the little guy? - small businesses, start-ups, artists, individuals etc. Often a choice must be made between settling for a generic template or seeking separate but expensive services. Balmain Design offers a better way: an efficient, custom package that takes care of the photos, page design, banner graphics, and text optimization all within a streamlined workflow. A great custom design package becomes affordable.
