On the 247th Day We Made A Website

It’s hard to believe that Influential has been in business for over 247 days, but it’s true. We’re getting very close to our first birthday and I thought it would be fitting to have something a little better than a holding page for a website. As Erik’s always reminding me, “the plumber’s pipes are always broken.” It’s true. We’ve been so laser focused on helping our clients reach their dreams that we forgot about ours. We’re getting there.

Today I’m happy to let ya’ll know that the beta version of our new website is now live. Give it a quick perusal here: http://influentialdc.com/

We have several cheeky and whimsical features that we’re currently developing, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. With my extensive background in photography I thought it would be most appropriate to highlight that perspective in the design. On each page load you’ll see one of a series of selected images. Over time the selection will evolve, and additional features will be added. I tell this to all of our clients, and today I’ll say the same to you: for every brand, website, marketing campaign, film or photograph, we approach it from a photographer’s perspective.

As a photographer I’ve spent a lifetime behind the lens, observing, documenting. I strive for honesty in my photography in a way that allows you to transport yourself into my shoes, to see the world as I see it. Designing a brand or website really is much the same. We delve into the user experience in a fundamentally different way that bring beauty and simplicity to the forefront while maintaing honesty and authenticity.

So my friends, take some time to check out our little website. My hope is that you will have a better understanding of our perspective. And as always, thank you all for making this life of mine so incredibly blessed.
