EcoNest's founders contacted us to transform their website. They had a proprietary content management system that allowed them to post updates about workshops they were offering, articles they had been featured in and other custom fields, but their site was heavy on text and had little imagery. We created a site on Wordpress that allows them even more capability for content management while organizing their copy, featuring rich imagery of their beautiful houses and designing a site reminiscent of the Zen simplicity their homes exude.

Working with Lars to re-launch the tasteforlife website was a fantastic experience through and through. Lars demonstrated a commitment and dedication you only find in a true professional and exceeded my expectations in every way. If I could, I would bring Lars on board fulltime, as it isn’t everyday you find a superstar! - Stacy Shelly

Shopping Cart | Logo | Graphic Design | Collateral
Green Generation Diaper Service had a shopping cart they couldn’t update and were using a photograph for a logo. Owner Nikki Helvey approached us initially about creating a new logo they could use on their existing site and collateral. After experiencing her biggest week of revenue immediately after uploading the new logo, she hired us to do a complete new e-commerce site, design rack cards to match, and to develop a marketing plan to bring customers to her new web store.

One week after the new logo and website update by Illuminated Designs, green generation had our highest web revenues ever! Thank You Lars and Jenica. I love our new look!- Nikki Helvey

The Phoenix Day Spa & Salon needed a site upgrade to match the look and feel of their beautiful spa and progressive product line. Spa Director Jessica Vineyard wanted to keep all the content from their original site but to have it presented in a fresh new light and to add an emphasis on their eco-conscious approach to business. She left the creative direction up to us and requested brochures to match the new site’s look.

Dr. Networking’s website needed a new look and Victoria, their Marketing Manager, had a strong vision of what that look would be. She told us that they wanted a community oriented feel and supplied us with custom photography to design each page around. We created a site designed to their specifications, with one addition – a custom contact form. A few weeks later they shared that this form had already assisted in generating new business amongst customers needing immediate attention off hours and thanked us for the idea.
Client Testimonial
I was searching for a web designer that could take my marketing ideas and implement them to my specifications. This means that the web designer would almost have to read my mind at times. Lars was able to take my ideas and create exactly what I wanted: an attractive and clean site that would compel potential customers to do business with us. Lars and Jenica are a great team to work with. - Victoria Stewart

Matthew is an accomplished young guitarist who needed a website where he could introduce himself, present samples of his work and most importantly post performances on a frequent basis. We took Matt’s rough ideas, generated a logo and copy and designed a Wordpress site for Matt where he can add new performances, audio and video samples with ease.
Client Testimonial
As a working musician I am always looking for ways to increase my clientele. Lars and Jenica took some very general ideas and outlines of what I wanted and turned them into a sleek professional website. With a new website, logo and business cards, I now have the tools to connect to a greater number of clients, and it is also flexible enough to change as my business grows. On a personal level these two are also a pleasure to work with and complement each other perfectly. - Matt Gwinup

Print designer Brenda Cornett came to us requesting the implementation of her own design for her website. Because Brenda is an extraordinary designer her Photoshop design was aesthetic and strategically constructed for her audience but not quite web ready. We advised her on the changes that would be necessary and discussed potential options for her site’s functionality. The finished product is a blend of our technical expertise and Brenda’s exceptional layout.

Realtor Chris Toogood wanted a content management system to post his blogs about the housing market and embed YouTube video of houses for sale. We went for a traditional, professional style and used some of our custom photography of Ashland, Oregon, where Chris' Real Estate Office is located.

Bryan Mikota came to us wanting more exposure (pun intended). He already had a nice, functional portfolio but was looking to gain traction amongst a specific demographic – brides and grooms to be, in Napa and Sonoma Valley. We created an elegant, easy to update Wordpress blog, specifically optimized for the Bay Area and continue to assist Bryan with blog updates and social media strategy.

This was truly an in-house project as Jenica is also the Managing Editor at Illuminated Designs. To create a site for Jenica's other passion, Holistic Health, we used a soothing color scheme, clean columns and typography, and all custom photography. The logo and icons provide more relevant imagery and consistency.
Client Testimonial
Though I admit I have a bias, I can attest to Lars' amazing skills with design and layout. He created an exact replication of a hand drawing I did for the Navigation Bar concept. He also integrated the overall look of the site into my blog and his exceptional photography added the personal and professional feel I wanted. - Jenica Faye

Owner Dylan Jones of Palos Verdes Bike, Hike and Kayak is understandably outside all the time and designing a website was not a priority. Since Dylan wanted to develop a web presence but didn’t want or need to say too much, we took his brochure text, developed a logo, selected fun beachy imagery and designed a one page wonder of a website.

Donny and Amber of Excalibur Computer Solutions had an amazing new idea they wanted to promote among their customers – Data Insurance Plans. Their website was in need of an overhaul, including a new logo, and made no mention of the new plans they wanted to offer. We created a strong, professional logo to represent them and designed a site focused around their credibility and showcasing their Data Insurance Plans with easy online sign-up.
