I am planning on redesigning an existing website for my marketing consulting business. For one thing it was designed in the old style table format and needs a CSS makeover. I would also want to reflect the creative side of my business, in addition to marketing consulting, strategy development and so on, which means I want a site that looks professional and shows creativity.
Doing some research, I was surprised how few sites are out there that actually meet my criteria. Maybe I am on the wrong track here, I wondered. Do I need to make a decision between professional/business look and fun/creative feel? Can't I have both? There are plenty of funky designer websites and even more professional looking (somewhat boring) consulting sites, but sites that fulfil both requirements are indeed hard to find.
Here are a few that I liked, in the order of my preference:
http://pittnycreative.com/
http://bealcreativegroup.com/services
http://www.absolutecreative.ca/
http://www.imageworksstudio.com/
http://yldcreative.com/work.html
All these sites are professional looking and employ creative visual elements to create interest, while maintaining good usability.
I have to add that I did run into many marketing/design sites that had problems with either usability, looks or both...
