  • Emmons Meat Market between Corvallis and Albany

    We helped Emmons launch a successful e-commerce store selling their delicious jerky and summer sausage. Through the new website, they received orders from all over the U.S. as well as more traffic to their store and lunch counter on Hwy 34 outside Corvallis.

  • Block 15

    Block 15's biggest challenge was keeping their website regularly updated to reflect what's on tap and when live music will be featured. Our design reflected the restaurant & brewery's atmosphere and allowed its staff to make quick updates and blog posts.

  • Emerson Vineyards

    Small vineyards may find it tough to stand out from the competition, but Emerson Vineyards' website emphasizes the story behind their wine with beautiful photos, information on each wine and integration with social media.

  • Valley Remodeling

    Valley Remodeling needed to showcase its quality workmanship on all its projects. We created an effective design that also highlights the company's work through an easy-to-view photo gallery.

Be Seen With Us! Websites and Graphic Design that Get Results

Look, we know that your website needs to be a virtual salesperson for your small business. It also needs to be easy – easy to put together, easy to update and easy for your customers to find.

But that’s easier said than done. Putting together an effective website takes time and energy – both of which are often in short supply for a small business owner. Here’s how Visual People can help:

  • Our planning process helps us organize the structure and content for your site so you don’t waste time and you get great results.
  • Our eye for detail, coupled with professional photography and copywriting, makes your site stand out from your competition.
  • Our content management system makes updates a snap – don’t pay ongoing maintenance fees! We’ll show you how with training and a manual. Even our clients without a lot of computer experience love our system.
  • We’ll make sure your site is found, using our expertise in search marketing and social networking.

With Visual People, you have a partner with more than 12 years of experience in design, writing and search for the web. We can also help with your other marketing materials – brochures, newsletters, postcards and more. Our focus is on working with companies in and around Corvallis, Albany, Salem, Eugene, Newport and the Oregon Coast. And we work remotely for clients around Oregon, including in the Portland area, and around the country.
