PuittAssocciates.com Launched

PuittAssocciates.com launched today! The principal of the company is a Certified Public Accountant with over 30 years experience. Pruitt and Associates, LLC is a newly created accounting and business consulting company. We are delighted they decided choose LuxRed to develop their logo and website. To save time and reduce costs, Mr. Pruitt selected a template and discussed his needs with us in an internet video conference. In our initial design meeting, he described the personality of Pruitt and Associates as “mature, sophisticated, loyal, professional, and trustworthy.” We thought that the US dollar bill might evoke this description, so the font and colors of the dollar bill became the basis of our design for the logo and website. And of course, the dollar bill is a most appropriate inspiration for the logo of an accountant’s business!

LuxRed Site Launched

On Thursday, we launched the website you are now reading. For the past couple of months, here in Costa Rica, we have been working on projects outsourced from the DC office, so we decided to put off the design of our own website, business cards, and brochures until now. Planned or not, it felt good to get rid of the “coming soon” page and put up the site. In my last entry (which was previously hosted elsewhere), I mentioned that the DC office needed a different website because our US Government clients are very different from our private sector clients. What I mean by this, for example, is that LuxRed can light heartedly use pictures of babies in the About US pages and play with relatively new web tools, such as the “Skype me” button on the Contact Us page. We would be delighted to hear what you think of these, so don't hesitate to call us from the Contact Us page or e-mail us at info@lux.co.cr.

New Lux Site Launched

This week we launched the new website of our office near Washington DC. It's at www.luxcg.com The DC office needs a different website because our US Government clients are very different from our private sector clients. Interestingly, we had to force ourselves to go through the same design process that we use with our clients. It’s not easy to practice what you preach. For example, we asked CEO Leonard Boyd to describe the business and, initially, he said “eh, don’t you know this stuff already?” In the end, it was a refreshing experience all round, and I think we captured the dynamic, but no-nonsense nature of Lux. We would like to hear any comments anyone might have on the site. Please e-mail us at info@luxconsultinggroup.com.
