Cue the Schoolhouse Rock classic “Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?” You can probably finish the rest of the song, but just in case here’s a refresher.

Function has been the keyword around the Bighouse office lately. Everybody wants connections. Our clients want to connect to their customers via Twitter, Facebook, click-throughs and conversions, email sign-up fields and contact forms. It’s nice to see that the sites we’ve built are continuing to be used and relevant and we’re more than happy to help them stay that way.

We’re designing dynamic websites that our clients can easily manage. We’re also continuing to monitor the traffic on sites we maintain – and the reports help us to find ways to improve SEO and get better Google or Bing search results. Because helping someone find you more easily and keeping your audience up to date – well, it just makes business sense.

So, don’t forget folks: The web is for forging connections and occasionally for hooking up words and phrases and clauses and making complex sentences like: I’d like to have some of this thing or that thing that’s in your online shopping cart; it’s lovely.

Barack Obama visited Savannah this spring, spreading the word about good graphic design and our nation’s need for improved font choices, better website interfaces and quality printing. He stopped by Bighouse Graphix to shake hands with our very own Steve Mousourakis, a hard-working local small business owner who is creating positive change in our local economy.

Wait, what?

Yeah, most of that didn’t actually happen. But we are proud to say that the printed booklet we designed for the Savannah Technical College arrived last week and it features Obama’s press conference and visit to the school. The President chose to stop at Savannah Tech because of the excellent training programs offered there, particularly the YouthBuild program, which puts at-risk students through a combined GED/construction program. Here at Bighouse Graphix we’ve been working on print projects for Savannah Tech for some time and now seeing them featured on national news like this, well, it makes us proud.

So we showcased the historic visit with rich color photos in an 80lb classic laid navy coil-bound cover with custom 60lb ivory velum dividers and bronze foil-stamping featuring the Presidential seal.

The other day, when the samples came in, we photographed the big man right here in the studio… ok, fine, just the printed booklet.
