The Graphic Design Hound

A Truly Local Maryland Graphic Designer – the GraphicDesignHound.com

First, what exactly is “Graphic Design”?

If you use any visual medium at all in your everyday life to communicate a message of any sort, you are in effect, using the graphic arts. This includes sound when it’s used in conjunction with a visual effect, for example television ads, living billboards and low-flying airplane banner ads.

Graphic designers work with typography, images, sound, motion and even people or animals to communicate their client’s  message. This message is usually targeted at influencing a potential consumer to carry out some predetermined sales oriented action.

What qualifies Us As A Baltimore Maryland Graphic Designer?

The Design Hound was born and raised in Baltimore, MD.  We started our business in Maryland and we practice our graphic design in Maryland. We are local all the way. This is very much unlike so many companies that can only claim they are local.

Do a search in Google for “Web design DC”, “Graphic Design Virginia”, and “Graphic Designers Maryland”, and look for the  companies that come up in the Google Map Listings. We did and we couldn’t find but a few, why is that so?

The answer is, all the large, well established national companies have long dominated the search rankings for the main, highly competitive keywords.

The end result is, when a search is conducted for regional keywords such as “Baltimore Search Engine Optimization”, “Web Design In Maryland”, and “Washington Website Design”, the sites that Google considers the Authorities for the root keywords ( i.e., search engine optimization, web design and website design) are presented as relevant.

Fortunately, unless these companies can show local addresses (with local zip codes), they cannot be placed in the “Local Business Center Listings” for truly regional keywords like “Maryland Graphic Designer” and “Baltimore Web Designers”. This is only until these companies figure out how to get around this obstacle.

What’s The Advantage Of Hiring A Local Company Like The GraphicDesignHound.com?

Hiring a graphic designer is like making a new acquaintance or starting a new relationship, someone you can be in touch with, have coffee with sometimes, speak face-to-face with sometimes.

It’s quite difficult to achieve this, and hence the trust that comes with it, when the “friend” is in a totally different time-zone, or even country! Your options are relegated to email and the telephone, either one of which is going to be answered at the convenience of the company.

We are most certainly a young design company, but we are quite skilled and have many relevant resources at our fingertips. We have a good working  relationship with the Web Development & Search Marketing Company, Businessbymouse.com. We also have access to small business web hosting, Social Media Marketing and Link Building capabilities through them. All in all, we feel that we are in a pretty good position to help any small business establish a meaningful web presence. And we are local.

Are you looking for a new and creative way to present your products to the global marketplace? Consider The Graphic Design Hound, a truly Local Maryland Graphic Designer.
