Our clients include small businesses, nonprofits and high education clients. Our work is primarily web site design and development but we also deliver print and identity solutions, we often create a new logo/brand for the site prior to starting the site redesign process. We are proud partners with OmniUpdate (OU Campus is used to manage more than 700 college and university websites) on high education projects for small colleges and universities including Stanford, Santa Clara University, Mills College, University of Arkansas, Nicolet College, Otero Junior College, Ferris State University, and more.

Donoughe Design had the opportunity to work on a quick facelift for their original site. Once completed we embarked on a total redesign, based on a new information architecture and brand identity. The site uses textures to enhance the brand and create a visually interesting user experience.

Cavanaugh Creative Group (CCG) wrote the site content as well as project-managed the site redesign.

The new site gives the business a more professional look while adding testimonials and new content.

Otero Junior College is proud of its reputation as one of the finest community colleges in the State of Colorado. Not many schools have a rodeo team! We designed this site in 2014, so it was time for an update. The new site is brighter (whiter, less blue) with less copy, larger photos, use of icons, and more compelling copy. It was designed to be "mobile first".

Digital photography has changed how we share images and pass them along to our children. Creating a book is one way that I can pass along my photos and share our family history with future generations. It is also a great way to archive important genealogical information and share rare photos that have been scattered between siblings and cousins. Each book was about a year long process which included countless hours of collecting the photos, scanning, cropping, color-correcting, writing the content, editing and of course doing the production itself with Adobe InDesign.

Donoughe Design initially created a new identity for the company as shown on the jersey below. We designed a bold, fun and colorful logotype coupled with a more traditional shield design. Most recently, we created a new responsive website to accomodate the growing number of mobile users. The site utilizes custom photography and new visual language.

The challenge included working within the Certain Software (an event marketing platform). We created two different event templates, one for more simple events and another for more complicated events. The goal was to design a system that was flexible and easy to use for the internal staff while providing tools that conformed to a new set of brand standards that were still being polished and refined.
