How Valve thinks about Conversion

Most likely you’ve got a really nice brochure website, or an e-commerce site that uses “web 1.0″ technologies and you are surprised by the amount of visitors you are NOT converting. Well we’re not. It’s an all too common story. Things are changing rapidly, and have changed radically. It’s no longer your brochure. No longer an afterthought or an add-on. It’s serious online business and we are here to bail you out.

Class “A” visual design supported by the latest in online and mobile technologies, enable you to realize the dream you’ve been hoping for. Valve offers the best of the best in user experience design, graphic design, illustration, animation, 3D modeling, programming and engineering technologies.

The visuals are what your potential customers first come into contact with. And it’s the visuals that provoke immediate emotional responses good or bad. And then it’s taking your customer’s hand and leading them through an enjoyable, but easy to understand journey. A journey they’ll gladly pay for when they have had a satisfying experience.

Business; It’s all personal, that’s for sure. And everything we design is for the goal of provoking extremely positive emotional responses so that people quite simply, want to do business with you. And not just once, but again and again.

From Brand identity and logo design, to web sites, online stores, social media applications and mobile applications, we have done it all hundreds of times. But we never forget that the only time that really counts, is when it’s for you.

How Valve thinks about Social Marketing

In the old days there were phrases such as “I don’t like mixing business with pleasure” and things like that. But boy have things changed. Social interaction is all the rage, and business is now VERY personal and there is no longer much of a separation at all. Because of this, you need help from a company who knows how to market your business in a very “personal” way.

The explosion of Social Media means you have access to tens of millions of interconnected people throughout a multitude of social networks that you never had access to before. It’s an amazing opportunity to promote your business and take it to the next level. Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Beebo are just a few that we focus on as well as hundreds of blog networks, and we have strategies to weave your business into the fabric of the hugely exploding social interaction landscape. Social Media has also branched out into the mobile world in a big way in the form of I-phone and other mobile applications, all of which Valve can design and build for you.

Sorry, we can’t help it, but we’re taking your business…personal.
