WebKit's New Website Launched



WebKit.com

Designed by Yours Truly!

WebKit is a company I've been working with over the past few years. We did a re-design previous to this one since I've been working with them, however we were not able to lend the focus we really wanted to on it until now.

With the arrival of Mercury, WebKit's new php frame work for CMS, Ecommerce, and even social networks, It was the perfect time to rework their website.

Rick Messer Design is now working with WebKit on web projects with this new frame work which is pretty slick!

Please take a look at the new WebKit site and let me know your thoughts!

Montana Trout Lodge Website


Montana Trout Lodge has a new website.

This one was especially fun. Lots of freedom and the opportunity to create a logo to work from. This project is 100% Rick Messer Design from start to finish. There was a strong desire from the client to utilize their photography from around their many river journeys.

Check out the new site! MontanaTroutLodge.com

River City Marine Logo


I've been working with Winboats Web, a subsidiary of Webkit, who offers incredible POS software and integrated websites for boat dealers. We've had a lot of industry clients as a result of this new branch and this logo is a favorite of much of the design work we've been incorporating into this new branch of industry.
River City Marine is a boat dealer based in Kamloops, BC. This is a famous boating town because of the confluence of rivers in the heart of the city. The thought was to find a mark unique to this client while visually communicating their level of professionalism and hi-end business practices. The three elements you see indicate the general geographic location of the 3 main rivers (From left to right: Kamloops Lake, The North & South Thompson, and Shuswap Lake) in relation to the city of Kamloops.
Both me and the client were very happy with the end result!
