About the Design

Richard’s Printing Services, Inc. is a well-respected, family-owned printer in downtown Knoxville, TN. The company has been around since the ’60s. Their previous website was created back in the 2000’s. Now, it’s time for an upgrade. The owners of Richard’s Printing and Pioneer Media network together at a local BNI chapter, so Rick decided to utilize our website design services to reimagine his website. 

How long did this project take?
Once Rick provided a Dropbox folder of their logo and samples, we got started on the design, which only took a week from initial mockup to completion.

What makes this website special?
The fun color scheme coupled with the extensive gallery of samples makes the website stand out. They have 12 categories of samples, including business cards, banners, flyers, posters, yard signs and more. A particularly unique feature is an online upload page that accepts up to 100mb PDF and image files. Rick now has a centralized location on the website’s backend where he can store and review his client’s uploaded files.

Who created the logo?
Rick has gone through over 50 iterations of their logo. The current evolution is a throwback to old-timey diners, and this design choice reminds customers that Richard’s Printing Services, Inc., is an established, time-tested company.

How does the site look on mobile phones?
We built the website with a responsive design, which ensures the site looks perfect on any device sizes, all the way from 4k desktop computers down to smartphones. The benefits are in both user-friendliness and search engine ranking.

Is the website secure?
Yes! The site is secured with an SSL Security Certificate. SHA-256 encryption secures the file upload feature as well, so sensitive documents make it to Richard’s Printing without being exposed to prying eyes. Google also gives a minor boost in search engine ranking to websites with SSL certificates.

Do you have anything else in the works?
Yes! We are currently brainstorming an eCommerce element, as well as an online design & print platform. There’s a lot in the works for Richard’s Printing.

Is your work complete?
No. We continue to provide web hosting, domain registration, email hosting, site updates, analytics traffic reports, Google SEO monitoring, regular site backups, virus removal, security patches, customer support and more through our Website Care Service. Rick’s website is in good hands!
