WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY


When it was time to redesign our website and revitalize our brand, we researched several prominent design firms – Parachute quickly became the natural choice. They’re a super talented bunch, fast and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be keeping Parachute in mind for future projects.

Shauna Mercy,Marketing Manager, integrate AI

Having witnessed Parachute’s web design process with a shared client, there was no question as to who would create our new website. Parachute took our ideas and brought them to life using their creativity and expertise on a very short timeline. Since launch, our new website has exceeded expectations and served as a cornerstone for our marketing. I would recommend Parachute Design in a heartbeat.

Kevin Butler,Vice President, Strategy at Goose Digital

The most unique aspect about Parachute is that they get right to the important elements of the project. They don’t put too much weight on nebulous exercises around exploring your inner self. Instead, they get right down to what the project is about and what you want to get out of it. They’re practical and don’t waste time on exercises that ultimately won’t bear fruit.

Best Practices for Branding and Web Design for Startups

Working with startup companies is perhaps the type of website design project we have the most fun with. Not because it’s any more special than any other but because we’re involved in everything from the ground up. We are often there from the point the startup company is named, and something truly new and unique is born.

As a Toronto web design company serving the GTA and all provinces in Canada, we have loads of experience at this level, offering web design for startups, both local and virtual, to create a successful branding and custom logo design as well as winning web design solutions.

There are two constant challenges in doing web design for startups:

  1. Budget
  2. Personal Ownership

By nature, startups have not been in business for very long (or in business at all) by the time our Toronto website designers are invited into the fold. Additionally, the owners of new startup companies are usually amped up, excited and passionate about their new company.

Startup Web Design for Growth

Budget limitations are common for startups and understandably so. Part of our vision in working with startup companies has always been to offer creative web design solutions to maintain a limited budget and foster a long-term relationship, allowing our companies to grow together.

When it comes to web design for startups, a key factor to remember is to ensure the website and content management system (CMS) are flexible enough to grow quickly.

Working with limited time and funds means that some web design features may have to be left on the shelf until the startup goes to market, tests the waters, and builds some capital. When this time comes and the business owner has some experience, real-world user data, and an ample budget to help evolve the website into its next iteration, they’ll not be too happy if you need to start over and rebuild the website from scratch.

Good startup web designers have the experience and foresight to look a little way down the road and design a website that can be easily expanded when the time for growth comes along. This will help create a more seamless transition from the initial web design the startup first needed to go to market with, into a more robust and confident web presence for the long term.

Understand the Owner’s Passion for Design

Just about every startup owner is so passionate about their new idea and inexperienced enough to overlook a professional web designer’s advice. Startup company owners have a vision in mind and often have blinders on limiting their view of the big picture. They want complete control and ownership over the design of each and every piece of their new brand.

This is totally natural and a good startup web designer will be understanding and know when to gently push and when to pull back. More often than not, when it comes time to grow the initial startup web design, the owner has more insight into what is working on the website and what can be improved to offer an even better user experience to their customers.

Research and Design Strategy

As part of our approach to creating a new brand and web design for startups, we spend a lot of time upfront looking at competitor’s marketing materials. We can establish what has worked well for these market players and where they could use some improvement in their marketing materials.

With this initial research, we can put together a more effective startup web design strategy resulting in our clients’ brand, logo, and website design entering the ring fully prepared to compete with the industry leaders.
