We are excited to announce the launch of the new 5W Strategists website. They wanted the flexibility to manage their own website and make changes so we built the new website using Joomla as the Content Management System (CMS). We also helped them develop a new brand identity complete with new business cards and logo.
Check out the new site at www.5wstrategists.com.

A musician friend, Jim Wingo, asked that we help develop a business card and flyer that would properly reflect his “cool” style. The primary purpose is to attract students looking to learn the alto sax, clarinet or flute as well as book private and public performances. The graffiti text was Jim’s idea, proving once again that two heads are always better than one. And when you get two artists together, the results are “belleza” (beautiful in Spanish).

We designed this adorable advertising campaign and poster to announce the Holiday Pet Portraits Event at Pampered Pets. Visit their website at www.pamperedpetscville.com.

We were asked to redesign the 2011 Monticello Educational Poster because the client felt last year’s text was hard to follow and your eye didn’t know where to land. We divided this large space into 3 quadrants, headlined them appropriately and highlighted the 3 major sections in their Monticello red. The client was pleased with the result and we can’t wait to see these in Virginia's Classrooms.

We are happy to announce the launch of the new Frederick Wilbur - Woodcarver website! Frederick Wilbur specializes in Architectural Woodcarving and has over 30 years of experience. Fred's previous website was designed many years ago and had become out of date. We designed and developed this new website in the Joomla CMS platform, allowing the client to make changes to the website and upload new photos into the photo slideshows.
We encourage you to visit the new site today at www.frederickwilbur-woodcarver.com.
Thanks Fred for the great testimonial!
Working with you (Chappell Graphics) has been one of those fortuitous pleasures; a rare combination of listening to my needs and desires while offering options and suggestions. The process of creating my web site was clearly explained and patience was displayed when I had dumb questions. The web site design and function has exceeded my expectations, and I am very pleased with the end product. - Frederick Wilbur
