Rao's has a Layout.

At left was the first layout for the Rao's Landscapping website after a few discussions with the client we added some slight changes. Below you can see the before and after of what pretty much is the final site.

The new design is the above right angular layout. Design Pros art director Peter A DeLuca opted to subtract the rounded thinned boarder for the banner of the original layout. This unifies the edgy theme and style of the site. More shadows and reflections have been added to establish more of a flow to the theme.

IPS got a layout

IPS Scaffold and Contruction Services shined the Design Pros Signal into the sky and we came crashing into the scene ready to brand the 12 year old company onto the World Wide Web.

IPS requested a left side navigation Design Pros options to have top side navigation. We feel that this allows our clients to have easilly expandable websites as well as more of a content area.

Below is a sample of what we developed.

LBLPITS.COM gets the cards


Lycan Kennels South Jerseys premier Pitt Bull breeder needed some business cards. Its been almost a year since Design Rros Art Director Peter A DeLuca developed http://www.lblpits.com/ and now has come the time for business cards that fit into the look and feel of the website.

Back from the break and into the rythm

Having that long holiday gap is killer, what a great way to loose any momentum you had before the new year. Sure the time with the family and celebrating with your friends is great, but Design Pros is here to... well design.


Bronze Bodies is a South Jersey Tanning Salon with over 11 years of established business gave us a calling during off hours.Always vigilant and aggressive about new projects Design Pros met with Bronze Bodies and over the break produced the layout below.



This rejected design got the gear moving to where the Bronze Bodies staff was able to get a clear direction of what they needed for this design. A question we get often is "what do you do with the rejected designs"? That question will be answered by a new service later this year.
