About Our Services

Grey Media offers communications-related solutions to clients within Oregon and across the United States. Our client base includes small businesses, multimillion-dollar companies, non-profits, and educational institutions. These services, outlined below, range from Internet development to content creation, collateral production, strategic communications planning, and more.

All Things Online

New Web Site: Yes, we build custom web sites from scratch! Web site design and development is a specialty. This can range from a small core web site to a larger, more complex database-driven site, even one with e-commerce capability.

No single solution fits everyone, of course. Regardless of size, we work to translate your ideas into a site that you can be proud of and that meets your goals and budget. To learn more about how we develop a site, reference our Development Page.

Site Redesign: The "culture" of a web site differs from the offline world in many ways. It's much more dynamic, for one. If your site is getting stale, we can freshen things up a bit. New photos and content can go a long way in this regard. Then again, it may be time for a complete facelift, with new graphics, navigation scheme, and site structure. We can work with your current site with a deft touch or to completely revamp it.

Site Maintenance: Once a site is built and functioning, keeping it up to date is important. Often, site maintenance falls to a secretary or an assistant who may not have the time, interest, or inclination. Rather, hire us to add content, on a one-off basis or on a prescribed schedule. We also can design a site with frequent content updates in mind.

Site Rescue: So, you have web site, it's being hosted somewhere, and now it's time to do something with it. But the web dude who built it has disappeared! You don't have any of the files, and you can't even log on to the server. Now what? We know how frustrating this is. That's when you call Grey Media. We have cleaned up this type of mess before, and we will work to get your site back.

Oh, and when we complete a project, clients receive a copy of all files created and a backup of the site when it goes live. A web dude won't hold your site "hostage" again!

Other Internet Services: As wonderful as a web site can be, a "push" or e-mail direct marketing program can be important. We can design an effective opt-in e-mail campaign for you. Looking to drive traffic to your site? Search engine optimization is crucial, as is search engine registration. We can design an online advertising program for you, such as Google's AdWords program, all of which can increase traffic flow.

Offline & Print Marketing

The Written Word: We excel at writing. When you want a web site, catalog, brochure, newsletter, or article written, turn to Grey Media. Put our background in journalism, publications management, editing, and proofreading to work for you.

Business Identity: How can a business stand out from competitors? Grey Media assists companies in crafting or redesigning their business identities, including corporate and product logos, business cards, and such business documents as forms, invoice stuffers, etc.

Catalog Production: When presentation and sales count, we can assist with print catalog or price list design and production. Catalogs are an important business tool, whether they are distributed by mail or handed out at trade shows. We also can integrate a print catalog into an online web catalog.

Marketing Collateral: How a business communicates with current and prospective customers matters. We are experts at designing advertisements, brochures, postcards, product sheets, newsletters, and more.

Database Programming: We love databases! Many people use Excel in which to store data but, as a spreadsheet program, it is intended largely for financial functions. A better solution is a database. We work with several desktop (consumer) database programs, and especially love FileMaker Pro. We can even integrate your offline data into an online solution, where one data source serves multiple purposes.

When you demand results, Grey Media delivers.
