Web Design & Development
Loosely Related works in two capacities to actualize effective web solutions for a broad spectrum of businesses and organizations. First, as a full-service, concept through launch, web development team, and second, as a development collaborator with other designers.
Web & Graphic Design
Web site Design
We build web sites for professionals, non-profits and small-medium sized business that are attractive and easily maintained. We can partner with you to bring your concept to completion by:
- understanding your goals and target audience
- providing site design relevant and appealing to your audience
- consulting with you on your site’s content
- implementing the design to accommodate a wide range of internet users, operating systems and browsers
- providing occasional or ongoing maintenance and support once your site is online
Graphic Design
We provide a wide range of graphics to those needing miscellaneous web site graphics, ad banners, custom site icons, etc. Additionally, we offer logo and identity design through partnerships with other studios.

Coding & Development
Many times designers need to get their PSD to HTML without the challenges of writing the code themselves. We work with designers to do just that by using:
- Valid markup: We strive to ensure our sites validate with current coding standards to keep them readable and relevant into the future.
- CSS: We use CSS to separate layout from content, employing several style sheets in any given site to maximize efficiency and readability. As browser support for newer versions of CSS grows, we look forward to implementing those specifications more broadly.
- Accessibility: We are well versed in accessibility standards for the web. Our primary goal is to build semantically correct, valid markup and separate the layout from the content using CSS. We keep our HTML clean and "human-readable" to support screen readers and other assistive devices. (Note about Section 508: Not all of our clients require Section 508 compatibility. If you you or your audience needs or may need Section 508 implemented, please mention it when you contact us.)
Additionally, we work with a variety of content management systems (CMS) –including hosted solutions like SquareSpace and self-hosted solutions like Drupal– should you or your client need to update their web site "in-house".
Squarespace
Love the Squarespace content management system? So do we! In fact, you're looking at a web site built on the Squarespace platform right now. We've been working on the SquareSpace platform both personally and professionally since 2004. Using our strong familiarity with SquareSpace, we can
- design and implement a unique SquareSpace template for your business or project;
- provide consultative assistance on your existing Squarespace site;
- help you polish your existing Squarespace design;
- perform "one off" HTML, CSS and JavaScript enhancements on an as-needed basis.
