It's interesting to think of the various inquiries we get in a given day. Some think we are a big, enterprise company with several dozen employees, while others assume our studio is the personification of a single person. In reality, it's somewhere in between.

We are in fact a small company, consisting of two partners and a handful of specialists. We have a single lead designer (and founder), a general designer / developer, two sales experts and a an invaluable team of admins. Occasionally, we also welcome web design and graphic design interns.

The Studio

Corvus Design Studio is based out of beautiful San Luis Obispo, California, with associates in San Francisco, San Jose, and Las Vegas. We create distinctive web, identity, and print solutions for businesses and individuals - everything from CMS websites, to online stores, to business cards and letterhead. Although we occasionally provide contract services to large corporations, we cater mainly to small and medium sized businesses, as well as startups, individuals, freelancers, and non-profits.

Our passion is creative presence, in the form of websites and print materials that communicate to their viewers. We always keep up with current design trends, but our level of experience also allows us to tap the traditional and classic design fundamentals as well. It's the knowledge of this broad range of styles that we feel makes us unique. We love all types of design, from ultra minimal, to urban grunge, to whimsical pretty, to super sleek... and everything in between. "Appreciation of All Things Art and Design" is our motto, and we apply this mind set to each and every distinct project.

Why We're Different

Nearly a decade after first opening, Corvus Design Studio continues to maintain a significant presence in the design world; a feat we're especially proud of, considering how many web firms have fallen victim to the recession. Our success comes from a combination of experience and ability, always keeping up with evolving web technologies, and our policy of not price gouging.

We pride ourselves in being a web design studio that focuses equally on FORM and FUNCTION. We believe that a great website must be equal parts Design and Development, and is not truly complete without comprehensive SEO and Social Integration. Our websites are always artistic and rich in design, as well as properly structured, carefully coded, fully optimized for search engine visibility, and social media ready. This extra emphasis on the functionality of our websites is a feature that sets us apart from many other design studios. This is why so many of our websites win awards and recognition in the design industry.

You can be sure that a website designed by Corvus Design Studio will not only be great looking, but will also be optimized for search engine visibility, utilize the latest web coding standards, and include comprehensive social integration.
