Introducing a new website for Susanna Patterson, Austin TX painter of custom watercolor pet portraits! Susanna came to Doodle Dog because she was ready to showcase her talent at the next level with a professional web design. We were excited to give her this clean, fresh, minimal site that lets her quirky and colorful portraits shine. With wide galleries to feature every brushstroke of her unique pet portraits and a streamlined contact page, this site is sure to represent Susanna’s artistry well!
We are pleased to get to show you the new website for college prep business, College Strategy. We had a lot of fun creating something that was super clean, simple and smart. We wanted college students (and their parents) to be able to jump online, search for a way to prep for college, find College Strategy and know exactly what to do next! Take a look at the site here: www.collegestrategy.com
A dazzling new event venue has opened its doors in Dallas, Texas. The Empire Room will hit the ground running with a new look inspired by very visual art deco style and incorporated glam of The Great Gatsby’s lavish parties. The brand identity for this venue was meant to be over the top glamourous and exceedingly great. With lush fabrics, bold shapes and great views of the downtown skyline, (think old school glam) we wanted the brand to match the venue’s unique flare.
Check out the new design for The Empire Room!
And a look at the website…

Key Advantages
Improving your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) By blogging daily with relevent and compelling content, the more likely you will drive your target market in the right direction towards your site. With the ability to generate as much content as you want on a blog, the higher your rank on search engines and the further your online reach becomes.
Creating a following A blog is a great way to get the conversation going. Bringing together a community with similair interests gives you the opportunity to garner a following that is beneficial for everyone involved. Getting people to subscribe to your blog can be a challenge, but a constant point of contact with your client base keeps your business at the top of consumers minds.
Connecting with target audience Informative and thought-provoking posts not only lead to more followers, but a chance to build a strong relationship with an audience that is interested in what you have to offer.
Position yourself as an expert in your industry Maintaining that following, connection and improved SEO through a blog allows you to demonstrate your expertise. It’s okay to show off from time to time.
Keeping your website fresh Whether you post daily or a couple of times a week, your efforts will ultimately help keep your website updated and fresh for any incoming visitors. Nobody enjoys dull posts so always make sure they are interesting, relevant and possibly lead to discussion with your followers.
TIPS: Make sure your blog/site has a button for RSS. An RSS feed is a way for followers to keep up with your latest posts. Generally we place an RSS icon on the top of your blog along with any social icons so that when readers click on it they have the ability to subscribe to your site so that everytime you add a new posts they receive a notification either by email or another format (depending on how they subscribed). Directing your readers to your RSS is a great way to get readers to stay up-to-date and increase your readership as a whole.
Sign up for the Doodle Dog RSS by clicking here or going to the button on the top right side of the blog (next to the facebook and Twitter buttons).
Create a publication calendar. Creating a monthly calendar of what you’re going to write about will help you stay motivated and think of great post topics. This can also help you stay ahead a bit – if you know you’re writing 8 posts that month you can write them all in the beginning of month and set them all to post throughout the various weeks so that you aren’t responsible for writing them on busy days that you have.
So you know you need to blog more often but don’t have the time, or just need help coming up with ideas? Shoot us an email and we’ll be happy to help!
Happy Blogging!
The hot summer heat always draws us to our own ideas of an oasis. Whether it be a lake, the beach or a refreshing dip in a pool, we sometimes like to let our imaginations run free if it means escaping the weather for a bit.
When considering a private oasis of your own, make sure to remember Johnston Pools. Located in the DFW area, Johnston Pools has been helping Dallasites create beautiful luxury retreats in their own backyards for over 15 years.
A new and improved website and brand identity was just completed for the elite custom pool company!
They wanted to showcase the experience and sophistication they posses when it comes to pool design, construction and remodeling. This is why we decided to use a classic and sophisticated look for their new brand identity and website. Refreshing royal blues, gold hues and chestnut brown were the chosen color palette for the site giving it an elegant and polished look. The photo gallery displays the elegance Johnston Pools has when designing pools, and can be sure to help you build the custom retreat you have always wanted.
Take a look at the newly refined look of their brand and website.
