There is a also this consistency throughout all of Dr. Young’s marketing materials that is so comforting, from the post cards of the staff, to the print marketing ads and articles, that now is carried through the look and feel of the new dental website design I created for them. There are the beautiful smiling b/w patient photos at the top that showcase Dr. Youngs fabulous work. Visit the “Before and After Smile Gallery” to see more of these amazing transformations.

The Color of Money

Sometimes it is easier to come up with an idea for a design then it is to pick a color palette that goes along with that design. In the case of this lawyer marketing website The Bradley Law Firm, I had a good idea of what I wanted to do. After talking with the client, it was clear in my mind what he was looking for. I got back to my office I began to put all the elements together in my rough-draft. I knew that I wanted to put an automobile of some kind on the left-hand side of the website. After finding the right picture, I put it in it's place.

At this point I was struggling with what colors to use for the rest of the layout. He didn't have official colors or a logo that he used specifically for his firm. So, it was up to me to come up with something original. After looking at this picture for a while,

I saw some great colors come out of the car and the background. I used my color picker in photoshop to select certain colors and my color palette was born.

There are some great websites like DeGraeve.com where you can import an image and the site will automatically generate a color palette. This is a great idea for picking colors from an image.

But, I am a hands-on kind of person. I was able to sample any or every color I came across in photoshop. This gave me control to pick exactly what I wanted.

I'm very please with how the site came out. I really like the fact that not only was the design my creation, the color scheme was too!

Please have a look at the site here:

It's Odosketch time!

It’s time to get your clicker ready for some creative clickin’! The Odosketch website might not have much to do with Legal Marketing, Dental Website Design, or Plastic Surgery Marketing, but its a great way to find inspiration, and warm up your creative muscles. Head over to sketch.odopod.com for some fun with the mouse and a faux-sketchpad. It’s also a great place to just take a look at some really talented illustrators strutting their stuff. I was really impressed how this online app is able to achieve such a natural look and feel. I did this little self portrait in just a few minutes. Give it a spin and see what you come up with!

The Galleria Dental Aesthetics gets a new website!

The dentists and staff of Galleria Dental Aesthetics provide their patients with a dental experience unlike any other. They offer a number of amenities, such as:
- picking you up at the airport in a limousine
- video immersion goggles, and
- high-tech massage chairs.

They want you to experience a dental visit that will not feel like a dental visit at all! The new website brings this classy, sleek and high end feel across to the patient from the first page with custom dental marketing videos created by the Page 1 Solutions Video Department.

The old site was very nice, mainly created in b/w with once accent color.

The new website stays true to the original, but takes it a step further by incorporating color imagery for the smile gallery, and with patient testimonials and videos sprinkled through out the content of the site. As a viewer you get to meet the doctors before even setting foot inside the welcoming doors. Take a minute to experience all that the Galleria Dental Aesthetics has to offer by visiting their new website now.

When one website is just not enough

The Centre, P.C. is a unique and comprehensive plastic surgery center located in Indiana. They offer cosmetic surgery, skin care services/products, as well as therapeutic services for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the hand.

How do you incorporate all of that in one website? Well you don't, sometimes one website is just not good enough. The Centre, P.C.'s main website covers the plastic surgery aspect of their business.

In addition to the main Plastic Surgery Marketing website Page 1 Solutions created two microsites relating to the other special areas of their business. The three sites together incorporate all the services offered by the Centre P.C. Visually the three sites have similarities in design and functionality. All this for consistency, which is key in marketing your business. They differ when it comes to color, imagery and content matter to keep them apart, which makes each site unique on its own.

The Centre for Working Hands
The Centre for Working Hands website focuses on reconstructive surgery. It is an on-site rehabilitation clinic for patients recovering from a traumatic hand injury.

Centre Yourself Medical Spa
Centre Yourself is a medical rejuvenation spa. The website offers a wide variety of exceptional skin care treatments and products in a soothing, stress-free environment.

Time Management is Key

Do you ever find yourself running out of time, scrambling to get things done? How often do you say to yourself – “Where did the day go?”

I think many of us, at one time or another, have felt that there just isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish all that we want to get done, especially at work. Constant work overload can turn into stress, and stress can undermine even the most ambitious person. Being inundated by work will make it hard for you to focus on the bigger picture and accomplish your overall goals.

One way to gain control over the clock, is to learn how to manage your time. Personal time management is key to your success. Having worked with the design team at Page 1 for the last two years, I’ve seen many different strategies used to deal with the day to day stress of having multiple projects in the pipeline at any given time. Here are some of the best techniques I’ve seen implemented:

Prioritize your Task List – start with your daily to-do list and work up to your weekly or monthly goals. Start with high priority items and work down to lower priorities. Knocking things out one by one will help you focus on the bigger picture.

Get Organized – keep prioritized to-do lists in your visual range or create a daily schedule or action plan. Keep track of your progress with these items throughout the day. Make sure you have all the materials you need to complete your tasks. If you don’t, no matter how organized you are, you will not be able to finish the task at hand.

Schedule Effectively – be realistic with what you can achieve with your hours in the office. Do not over-commit yourself. Even if you have the best intentions, you won’t be good to anyone if you are stressed and unfocused because you are trying to do too much. Always leave a little wiggle room in your schedule for the unexpected.

Stop Procrastinating – don’t put off important tasks, tackle them! Do NOT doubt your skills. Doubting yourself can hinder your progress and cause you to procrastinate. If you run into road blocks, ask for help. Ironically, perfectionists are often big procrastinators. Do not spend too much time making your creation perfect. Chances are it is already exceptional. This does not, however, give you carte blanche to cut corners. If you have extra time, go the extra mile. Always give your best effort.

Take Breaks – everyone has a breaking point, no pun intended. Recognize yours and take 5 or 10 minutes, or even a lunch break, to get away and refocus. Chances are you will come back with renewed energy and vitality.

Set Personal Goals – don’t forget to do things that are important to you. Keeping track of personal goals, whether or not they are work related, will keep you on top and focused in all aspects of your life.

Take these tips from our Page 1 Team. Using these simple tactics will make you more efficient and less stressed in your daily routine. If you keep yourself organized and working effectively you will see greater returns on your efforts and many successful days ahead.
