Since producing two theatrical productions and planning a wedding at the same time can leave anybody sitting around bored out of their mind with nothing to do, I have been keeping myself busy by creating web sites with my “Eggheads” business partner, Derek. We’re actively working on three different sites at the moment, but our latest just went public today.

Impact Communication Services is a company here in Barcelona that helps professional people and their organizations to communicate with their international partners, whatever the language. Derek and I worked on this one for a little more than three months. We learn a bit more with every project that we complete and this one taught us quite a lot. The #1 lesson learned from this one was to put all deadlines in writing so the client knows exactly when they need to get us their content before we begin designing. Otherwise it’s like building a house and, right after you wallpaper the living room, the client wants to rearrange the walls!

It was a rocky road from beginning to end. As the unspoken rules of graphic design tells us: A client who knows exactly what he wants is worse than one that has no idea. But Derek managed to find a design that everyone was happy with and I made that sucker load as fast as I could. I rather like it. What do you think?

Update: The four little white links with arrows on the Home page lead to an internal site that another IT team will be designing. Right now it’s hideous (as it always has been). Rest assured that we had nothing to do with this section of the site. It was supposed to be finished by now but hey, they’re Spanish!
