The Cast
It's interesting to think of the array of 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), who works solely on creative and design processes, while other experts manage all of the tasks of running a business. Here's a bit more info about our main cast of characters:
The Studio
We are a small web and graphic design studio based out of beautiful San Luis Obispo, California, with associates in San Francisco and San Jose. We provide distinctive web, identity, and print solutions for businesses and individuals. Although we occasionally provide services to large corporations, we cater mainly to small and medium sized businesses, as well as startups and individuals.

Why We're Different
We pride ourselves in being a web design studio that focuses equally on form and function. We believe that well-designed websites must be aesthetically pleasing, as well as properly structured, carefully coded, and fully optimized for search engine visibility. This extra emphasis on the functionality of our websites is a feature that sets us apart from many other design studios. We firmly believe that a website must be excellent in both it's frontend design and it's backend coding. This is why so many of our websites win awards and recognition in the design industry.
Our lead designer, Jessica, is an expert in graphic design, search engine optimization, web coding, and content organization.... All of the fundamental elements to creating a superb website. 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, coded by hand using "standardization" techniques and valid code, and will never include any arbitrary, bloated code that bogs down the site.
