Rachel Dory at Gallery 3131 was a HIT!

A standing room only crowd that showed up at Gallery 3131 for the opening night of Rachel Dory’s U-Turn exhibition. The audience apparently was impressed, too. By the time we arrived and muscled our way through the crowd over half of the paintings on display had already been sold.

Rachel is quickly becoming one of the brightest emerging artists in Seattle, and with this show she takes a leap into impressive new territory.  Congratulations Rachel!  We will do our best to keep you updated on Rachel’s new work; that is, when she’s not throwing Woobees at us!

If you’re lucky you’ll actually catch onebecause where the hell are they when you want one? If you’re even luckier, something exciting will happen while you travel in one.Explore the transition from foreign, moving, transitory space to familiar, stable, secure place through the works of an eclectic group of 20 including artists, photographers, and other creative-minded people.

New Website Online for Bellingham Aero

SPARTA launches the redesigned website for Bellingham Aero. Bellingham Aero is an independently owned flight school, dedicated to introducing prospective pilots to the world of aviation. Located at Bellingham International Airport in northwest Washington, their office is just a short flight away from breath-taking views of the San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, and Vancouver, British Columbia. 

SPARTA was asked to design a corporate identity and a series of communication carriers that would put Bellingham Aero ‘on the map’, clearly distinguishing them from their current competitors. After developing the visual language, SPARTA developed a series of carriers such as stationery and business cards. The project was finalized with the website launched today. www.BellinghamAero.com

In 2004 Bellingham Aero expanded to include an aviation fueling service; Bellingham Fuel Service. SPARTA will be launching a redesigned website for Bellingham Fuel Service in the next few weeks.

Understanding Quality Web Design

Sparta offers professional website design services to our highly satisfied global clientele. Many firms do not understand exactly how a professionally designed website differs from a site designed by a low budget firm, when from a visual perspective they can look similar.

It must be understood that construction of a website is not a straight-forward process, there are many varieties of code that can be used in its construction - some antiquated, some not; poor or obsolete coding may render the same visually now, however future browser versions of Internet Explorer may not offer support for your websites obsolete code, making it that much more important that you choose a professional firm that uses cross-browser compatible - compliant, coding.

Images are another difference, that on first glance their imperfections may not be noticeable, but their implications go beyond visual asthetics. Like code, images can be saved in no less than four different file formats, and a web designer must have an intimate knowledge of the web to know which format to choose for which image, and how far to compress the image; this knowledge ensures that your web page will load fast and images will be crisp.

A professional web design firm will address is that of server side scripting, so many amateur built websites offer none; what that means is that for future updates on your website you could end up needing as much as 100 times the work hours for an update that with server side scripting being used - may only take one hour. It is the difference between coding 100 files vs. 1 file.

Website Optimization is yet another factor that is fairly commonly ignored by inexperienced budget design firms. Proper coding, naming and tagging of pages with your desired keywords may sound simple, but to do this effectively takes years of experience and knowledge of major search engines.

A professionally designed website will convey the message of your industry, offer easy to use navigation, be search engine friendly, cross browser compatible, easy to update and more. These are all features that would be a very smart investment in the website of any corporation
