The Spark3 Approach to being a great partner for you.
We started Spark3 to provide better, more personal, and more meaningful service to design & development clients.
A number of principles that guide the way we work — all of which serve to bring our steadfast effort, honesty, and enthusiasm to each project. We’ve detailed some of them here for you.
While this list doesn’t comprise everything we value, it’s a good introduction our approach to delivering unusually good service to clients.
Be the company that we’d want to hire
Putting your organization’s presence (as well as its identity and reputation) in the hands of an external partner is an act of extraordinary trust and potential risk.
Spark3 stands apart from other design/dev companies by treating the needs, goals & mission of our clients as if they were our own.
We operate from a standpoint of being the type of company and individuals that we’d want to hire ourselves — delivering quality work and reliable insight in a time- and cost-efficient manner.
Honor your budget & time
Quality work takes the time and efforts of trained and experienced professionals.
While other companies try to extract “whatever the market will bear” from your budget, we have dedicated ourselves to providing quality work at a fair and sustainable cost.
We believe that the project’s budget should be dedicated to the work that shows up on the screen — not lost amid the overhead of excessive staff, unnecessary meetings, sales commissions, etc.
Meet your organization at its level of need
Spark3’s nimble nature and range of service options means that we can fill the gaps of a client’s operation with ease and consistency.
Need design work? Great, we’ve got you covered. Want us to develop out the work of another designer? Sure thing. Need a trusted insight on a project’s direction? We’re here to help.
In fact, we’re here for as much or as little assistance as you require. We don’t oversell or force clients into structured “all-in” contracts.
Provide zero lock-In
Your projects should be yours. All yours.
We don’t lock clients in to maintenance agreements or create proprietary builds that require our developers to perform updates.
Instead, we build to common standards and utilize widely-supported technology stacks that ensure our projects remain flexible and extensible into your organization’s future.
We can even train your in-house staff to take over management and maintenance to whatever degree they desire.
Provide leveraged design & development
Just as there’s no need to reinvent the wheel with each new vehicle, there’s no sense in paying designers and developers to recreate widely standardized elements.
We continually research and test open source, stock and code libraries to compile a repository of high-quality, reliable, performant, and well-supported tools to improve client projects.
Knowing what assets to leverage saves hundreds of hours of design & development time, freeing up your budget for the work that is truly unique to your brand or business.
Trust the process
Projects built on a strong foundation of insight, thoughtfulness, and research return the best results for you and your audience.
From discovery and strategy through deployment and improvement, the Spark3 process unburdens clients from the mechanics of complex media projects and, instead, lets them focus on their messages and goals.
Continually deliver client success & user delight
Your success is our primary goal, so it’s not just enough to deliver “good work.”
We continually endeavor to provide work that helps you grow, that furthers your mission, and that deepens your relationship with your audience.
Plus, with over two decades in business, you can trust that we’ll be around to support our projects and support your on-going success.
We help your work matter to your audience.
How we can help you?
No matter the size or structure of your organization, Spark3 has services and insights to help you achieve your goals.
