What we offer

Web Site Design

We specialize in WordPress development and create web sites for non-profit and for-profit organizations of all sizes, both conventional and e-commerce. We wrap in thoughtful UI and market strategy in every project. 

Logo Design & Branding

Whether you're starting up, starting out, or re-visiting your brand we can provide a fresh perspective and a wholistic vision. It's your organizations' face to the world, after all, and too important to compromise on strategic and quality design.

Print & Packaging

Honestly, we cut our teeth on print design and we bring that kind of attention to detail and painstaking precision to all our work. We do annual reports to marketing collateral to poster and ad design. 

Hosting & Maintenance

Web sites developed these days need looking after to keep them up-to-date, secure and performing. We host and/or maintain 20+ sites in addition to providing graphic support, which frees up their owners to run their businesses. 

Awww....

...the feeling is mutual.

FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE PRACTICE SPACE

We wouldn't be where we are today without Sara Waters Design. As a non-profit founder, Jim and Sara brought my vision to life and turned my words into a brand with a unique voice to reach people who have been underrepresented in an inequitable world. Over 4 years of working together, their web and print designs have been consistently stunning, on time, and efficient, and they make work fun! I hope we work together forever.

Diana Garrett

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS, CENTER FOR ELDER'S INDEPENDENCE

I have worked with Sara Waters Design for about 6 years now and I am so happy with both their strategic thinking in designing the site and their day-to-day service as they maintain it. I can honestly say we have one of the best websites in my industry category because of working with Sara and Jim. 

Robbie Hayes

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, COLLABRIA CARE

Six years ago, Sara Waters Design design played an essential role in rebranding our organization—a particularly challenging project. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome and with the service they provided. Since then, they have become invaluable design and technology partners and consultants in our expansion and development. We would simply not have been so successful without them.

Along the way, they have provided us with great advice and excellent insights, often at a moment’s notice. They bring a marvelous design talent and sophistication to the table, accompanied by first class customer service and on-time delivery of their various projects. They have never once let us down or failed to produce what was asked of them. I can unreservedly recommend Sara Waters Design for any design and branding projects.

SARA WATERS DESIGN GROUP RULE
Asset17No1

“Work really hard and be nice to people.”

We started out in 2001 with a few simple rules. We like to think we’re still here today because we try to adhere to those values. A major project can mean we engage with clients for the long haul. That’s when working relationships really matter...

AN OVERSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF

How we work

Okay, so it's a little more complicated than this graphic and frankly the process rarely happens the same way twice but—it always starts with listening. Always. We begin from the assumption that you know more about your business than we do.
