The holidays are over, the new year has begun, and it’s time to look back at what’s been happening in the studio over the Christmas break.
A lot went on during the holidays: we launched our new website, created a virtual Christmas card, broke into the top 10 search results for our main keywords, landed a blog post in the top 3 for several trending keywords about design trends, and added a brand new services section to our site.
A quick recap
Virtual Christmas card
This holiday season, we ran a Facebook ads campaign supported by a blog post that racked up over 10,000 visits throughout November and December.
The campaign promoted a tool we developed that let users create their own digital Christmas card. People could personalize the message and choose from several backgrounds we picked out for the occasion.
The idea came from a blog post we published last year—a roundup of original Christmas cards—which started ranking well in search engines and brought in a lot of organic traffic. That inspired us to build this little tool, which we finished in less than a day.
You can check out the virtual Christmas card here.
We’re also sharing a few screenshots of the cards people created. In total, over 400 cards were made!
Our new website
Another big focus for us has been redesigning our own website.
It was definitely time for an update, even though the previous version still held up well.
It wouldn’t make much sense to show you a screenshot, since you’re already reading this post on the new site.
Still, we invite you to check out our post about the new website and the upcoming features we’re planning to roll out.
Climbing the search rankings
After years of working on our site’s SEO, we’ve finally reached top positions on Google. We hope it lasts—and that we climb even higher.
For now, our focus is on continuously improving our website, both in design and content, with posts like…
The post that’s making waves
If there’s one post that’s exceeded all our expectations, it’s our article on 2019 graphic design trends.
It’s a trend prediction post.
In less than three months, it’s received over 12,000 visits—and the numbers keep rising.

About our services section
To wrap up our updates, we’ve launched a new services section. It was long overdue, and we finally made it happen.

Wrapping up: what we’re looking forward to this year
This year, we hope to take on many new projects and keep growing as a studio.
We’re working hard to make it happen, and we’re confident it will.
Happy New Year to all!
