Our skilled staff will take the initiative to get to know who you are, what your goals are, and whom you are trying to target. Once this is established we will gather that information and design your website / print piece to be eye catching and unforgettable. Styles, colors, and fonts will be meticulously chosen in order to have the biggest impact possible on the targeted audience.
Why Us? That’s what you really want to know,
isn’t it? We know there are tons of “web designers” all
over southern California who claim that they are the best.
We know they are throwing out terms and promises, first of all
that you’re not even sure you can understand, let alone trust.
So now that you’re here and you’re reading about us…Let
us give you 5 simple reasons why we are the best investment
of your time and money…
1. CUSTOM, CUSTOM, CUSTOM
What other web design companies offer:
You may or may not be aware of it, but the web design industry has entered into the world of templates, pre-made layouts with few custom elements. There are many web designers who will say they will create a website for you. However, once the project begins they’ll go to another web company, purchase a template for approximately $30-$250. They will throw in your logo and text and then sell it to you for 3-10x the amount of time and money they put into it. Not to mention that same template has been used many other times by many other companies.
Why we are different:
We pride ourselves in specializing in true custom design. Each customer is a blank canvas to us. We begin each project with a client discovery meeting. At that time we will learn about the client, their industry, their corporate identity, their goals, and much more. It’s only after that that we begin the creative process and start designing. You can’t design for a company you don’t know. You are part of the design process and we want to know you!
2. DESIGN IS OUR PASSION:
What other companies offer:
Many designers will try to take advantage of a client’s inexperience. They take a template or create some mediocre design and present it as top of the line. They really don’t care whether a competitor‘s website looks better or if the style is outdated. And truthfully, you may or may not know the difference. Not everyone has an artistic and educated eye for design and web technology. That’s what you hire a web designer for.
Why we are different:
Design is OUR PASSION. Good design is what we love. As our motto says: “Excellence is not just a commitment we make to our clients; it’s a commitment we make to ourselves!” We make sure every time we launch a new website or finish a project it’s not only one that the client is proud of but also one that we, as designers, are proud of.
"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself." -Henry Ward Beecher
3. WE ARE LOCAL:
What other companies offer:
Have you been looking for a web design company on the internet? Have you ever wondered who they are? You don’t really know, do you? They could be a fantastic firm in some metropolitan city somewhere or it could be “Lenny”. Lenny is a guy who taught himself how to create web pages 5 years ago after he realized he just didn’t want to get dressed and go to work anymore. Lenny works out of his garage in his underwear and is completely committed to working on your project in between his time developing his fantasy football roster. Do you really want to entrust your corporate identity, your money, and your time to “Lenny”?
Why we are different:
Since our office is in Cerritos, California, which is centrally located between Downtown Los Angeles and Orange County. We're also just minutes from Long Beach. We are in the perfect spot to serve all of Southern California in person. We will be happy to meet with you face to face at your location to discuss your project. We also welcome all clients to visit us at our office if that’s more convenient. Link Encounter is very happy to take projects from across the United States but we specialize in companies located in Southern California.
4. PROFESSIONAL
What other companies offer:
The majority of our business comes from companies who have already, at one time, had a web designer. However, they chose to go somewhere else for a variety of reasons. Many web designers may be good at designing but they are not professional. Some of the specific complaints we’ve heard are that they don’t call when they say the will, they drag their feet and thus don’t complete the project on time, they are nowhere to be found if something goes wrong, etc. All in all, many people have had bad experiences sub-contracting to independent designers.
Why we are different:
Previous to our start, members of our team worked many years as designers and developers serving other corporations. We completely understand the standards of business that is expected in corporate America. We pride ourselves in not only being designers but professionals. We call when we say we’re going to call, we finish the project on time and we are available to help, any way we can, even after the project is finished.
We also completely understand that you as a client have many many other important things to do besides supervise the development of your website. One of the main reasons people put off having a website designed is they just don’t feel they have the time to help develop it. We completely understand that! Each client will have a project manager that will be able to answer any questions you may have, regularly update you on the progress of your project, and keep you informed of whatever information we may need. We try to make your job as simple and effortless as possible. You can be as involved or uninvolved as you like. Either way, the job will get done, and we are confident you’ll be happy with it.
5. WE ARE A SMALL FIRM:
What other companies offer:
There are two extremes when it comes to finding a web designer, each extreme has its pros and cons. There is the individual (Remember Lenny??) and there is the large design firm.
We like to see ourselves as firm that can provide the best of both worlds.
- We are small so we don’t have a large overhead to cover. Therefore, we are able to keep our pricing reasonable.
- As a team we bring different perspective to the project. Some more artistic, some more practical, some more technical. This helps our projects to develop into being very efficient and yet attractive.
- You will still have one project manager who you will be very familiar with any questions or concerns you may have. However, our designers and programmers will also be in touch so that your needs and desires are completely fulfilled in every detail.
- As a team there is always someone available to help with what you need. If one person is out of town or unavailable there is always someone else there to help with whatever questions, comments or concerns you may have.
- As a small firm we take on only the amount of work we can handle. We make sure to schedule our projects in a way that we will have the time to answer your questions, make modification along the way, or help you understand aspects of the project that may be unclear to you. Each client is important to us and we strive to make each and every one of them happy.

5. WE ARE A SMALL FIRM:
What other companies offer:
There are two extremes when it comes to finding a web designer, each extreme has its pros and cons. There is the individual (Remember Lenny??) and there is the large design firm.
- THE INDIVIDUAL-Pros
-Individual designers tend to be cheaper, basically because they have no overhead
- You will have one person to talk to about everything.
- THE INDIVIDUAL-Cons
-What you gain in cost you may loose in professionalism (Remember Lenny)
-If the designer is out of town, unavailable, or uninterested you’re simply out of luck. The total success or failure or your website lies in his hands.
-You get only one perons' perspective on the site.
- THE LARGE DESIGN FIRM-Pros:
-You will have several individuals working on your project, each working on a different aspect.
-Very structured and professional way of business
- THE LARGE DESIGN FIRM- Cons:
-EXPENSIVE! You are not just paying for the cost of the website you’re paying for the fancy office, the cappuccino machine, the executive vacations, etc.
- There is possibility that you’ll get lost in the shuffle. Some large firms are not as customer oriented simply because they have so many. If they lose your business or get a bad referral they are not concerned because they have 10 other clients to take your place.
We like to see ourselves as firm that can provide the best of both worlds.
- We are small so we don’t have a large overhead to cover. Therefore, we are able to keep our pricing reasonable.
- As a team we bring different perspective to the project. Some more artistic, some more practical, some more technical. This helps our projects to develop into being very efficient and yet attractive.
- You will still have one project manager who you will be very familiar with any questions or concerns you may have. However, our designers and programmers will also be in touch so that your needs and desires are completely fulfilled in every detail.

WHY NOT US?
Link Encounter is very qualified to handle most projects. However, there are a few parameters
on the type of projects we accept:
1. We do not take on any projects with adult content!
2. We only do custom work, if you’re looking
for a template to purchase there are many other great companies online
better suited for you.
