I am the kind of person that could annoy you after a few minutes if I am trying to learn something new.
Why? It’s pretty simple… I ask a lot of questions.
I am a project manager by trade and my specific niche is managing web re-design projects. More and more, we are designing websites and blogs [...]
Guardian Pediatrics’ new website hit the web last Friday! The Physicians were extremely excited to have a new site, as this was their first website in the history of the practice. Brandswag also had completed the re-branding for the practice seen here.
The site allows for the physicians to keep their patient’s parents up to date [...]
Tim O’Brien of Heartland Painters came to us through a Rainmaker member spotlight sent out in and email newsletter. Tim was to the point and sent me an email and asked if I could help. We met face-to-face to get a better under standing of what Tim was looking to achieve and Brandswag proved to [...]
Here at BrandSwag we have a launch check list that we run each web site through, before we launch it. Here’s that list:

My fall back [...]
Last week we launched a website for Pet Supplies Plus. PSP has four locations around the Indianapolis area. They offer top of the line pet products, and even allow you to wash your dog, right in the store!
I looked forward to putting this site together because of how playful the design was. Jon Mobley did [...]
The second step to your process will involve the execution or production of the project. Brandswag is a multi-project company, so therefore we use the traditional approach to managing them. This phase will consist mostly of coordinating the project based on resources (people, time and budget) to insure all areas of the project management plan [...]
Mark Evans has a great blog post called Is Anyone Paying Attention? Talk about some great everyday life visuals to relate to the transitioning of the web from cluttered to de-cluttered. All of that aside, Mark has a line in his post that was funny and hit me hard at the same time.
The lack of [...]
Today, Brandswag launched http://pscfabricating.com. PSC Fabricating is one of the largest State-side fabricators of fiberglass, foam and other non-metallic materials.
