VISUAL EDGE DESIGN, INC.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

Visual Edge Design, Inc. is a full-service web design, website maintenance, website hosting and Internet marketing company. We are located in the Tampa Bay area, Florida, but we service over 450 clients nationwide and abroad. We have an awesome team that really takes pride in the work they do. In fact, our goal is to do what we do best so that our clients can get on with doing what they do best without the headaches and hassle of trying to figure out the technicalities of managing a website. Since 1999, we have helped design and establish websites, logos, marketing campaigns and corporate identities for professionals, artists, corporations, contractors, health care providers, manufacturers and many others in between. Our biggest source of new business has always been referrals for one simple reason: we get results. Company History This is the part where we tell you about our adventures over the years here at VED (aka Visual Edge Design) in hopes that you will have a better understanding of who we are, and how we got here. Let’s see…It all started in 1999, when Visual Edge Design was founded by Grant (the tall, good looking guy to the right) in Durango, Colorado. He was joined shortly thereafter by his wife, Siouxie (that’s me, nuzzled up against Grant). By the end of our first year, we had acquired such notable clients as Grammy Award Winning Jazz Musician, Chick Corea and Peabody Award Winner, Def Poetry Jam. This provided great credibility for us in the early days. When we arrived in Clearwater we knew that we would need some help, so we moved into our first “real” office and hired our first “employee” (actually he is a good friend who just thought it would be fun to work with us – he stayed with us for the next two years). By the end of 2004, we were occupying the whole building (while still painting, laying tile, leveling floors, etc). During all of this, we were nominated for “Small Business of the Year” by the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce as well as “The 2005 Best Places to Work in Tampa Bay” on behalf of the Tampa Bay Business Journal. While we did not win the Small Business of the Year, we were extremely honored to have been nominated in the first place. On January 14th, 2005 we celebrated our 5th Anniversary (in business) and had the Grand Opening Celebration of our newly completed building. We had over 180 friends and guests (mostly friends) with live performances by both Kevin Danzig, and Michael Graves. The whole event was really wonderful. City of Clearwater Vice Mayor, Mr. Bill Jonson was our guest speaker and accompanied by City Council Members Carlen Petersen and John Doran, who assisted with the ribbon cutting. The Clearwater Chamber of Commerce were kind enough to share their huge red scissors, and Kiku Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar provided the incredible food. In February we found out that we had the prestigious honor of being listed as one of the top 25 web design and development firms in Tampa Bay by the Tampa Bay Business Journal (number 16!). In May we were notified that we were finalist for the Best Places to Work in Tampa Bay, and we took 2nd Place in the Nearly Big category on April 28th! Once again, we were recognized by the Tampa Bay Business Journal as one of the Top 15 Web Design Firms in Tampa Bay. We have a great team, a wonderful work environment and we love what we do. We launched our Small Business Website Packages and are thrilled be “going back to our roots” – meaning that we are going back to our core beliefs – providing fabulous websites for a reasonable price to the small business. Grant and I are involved full time in the strategic planning, design and programming process on a daily basis, and we’re excited to see what the future will bring. Anything creative. Volunteering and making a difference. Love, my family, especially my grandkids, music, writing, blogging, Scrabble. Statistical analysis, employee training, streamlining production, patience, maintaining a fun/exciting work environment and making things go right, while loving the heck out of every minute. My family, aesthetics, music, business, producing, art, friends, books, creating and truly helping others.
