The Challenge<\/h2>\n

Great Lakes Welding Supply<\/a> needed a total brand makeover.\u00a0 From logo to website to truck wraps.\u00a0 The branded needed to say welding, what better way to accomplish this then welding beeds, diamond plate, and sparks.\u00a0 We were going to need to create a new set of resources that would help us with our branding, design a logo that could bring them into the 21st century, capture their customer base with a masculine look and feel, and develop a killer awesome website replete with e-commerce integration and database migrations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Solution<\/h2>\n

Branding required creating a full set of metal textures to utilizing.\u00a0 These includes diamond plate, welding brushes, logo, business cards, rack cards, e-commerce website with mobile responsivity.\u00a0 Database migration utilizing a series of mysql hooks\u00a0 to push data from the website to QuickBooks in order to synchronize across data channels.\u00a0 This inventory management solution required the building out of a local mailroom, packaging consultation, and on location data entry.<\/p>\n
