From day one working with Drew and Venture on our new website, I knew that it was going to turn out great! Drew and his team laid out a clear plan for the website development that allowed all members of our firm to contribute and participate in the process and at the same time provided a structure to keep the project on track and on budget. The result is a website that truly reflects our acoustical practice today with built in flexibility for growth and evolution as we gain international presence in the world of performing art acoustics.
Design & Development
We’re all about functional minimalism.
At Venture, we embrace a functional minimalist design approach that prioritizes content and user experience (UX) over visual bells and whistles. One of our primary goals is to enhance UX by providing intuitive content and navigation architecture supported by code that renders content fast across all device types.
Design should never distract users from your content nor your conversion goals and helping users find the balance between filtering out design distractions in a way that enhances the content without hiding what your users need. This means creating a design construct that accommodates as little or as much content your users will need.
Flat/material design textures, vivid photography, dramatic typography, and smart color contrast are cornerstones of our designs.
Transfer First, Design Second
Sometimes, you need to move your site but you don’t have the time or resources to implement a full scale redesign.
It isn’t unusual for new users not to know exactly what they want and if their existing design is acceptable for the time being, we can often reproduce it then implement a formal redesign at a time that works best for the client.
This option allows users to become more familiar with all the new features Venture provides and become accustomed to the content management system. Often, this approach allows users to have a much clearer idea for how they want the redesign to unfold.

Building a new website is always a slow and challenging process. We truly appreciated the way Drew and his team broke the tasks down into small bits and pieces, making sure we were making continuous progress while keeping us from feeling overwhelmed. From start to finish Drew was readily available to answer our questions and make sure we were getting a site that would work for us and our company, not something that was cookie-cutter.
Also, one of the big reasons we decided to go with Venture Industries for our new website was the fact that for each site they develop they also offer continuous tech support for a reasonable annual fee. Our website is our biggest marketing tool and we rely on it to sell a large number of tickets throughout the season. I sleep so much better at night knowing the site is being properly maintained and updated, and if something odd comes up, Drew and his team are just a quick phone call away.
We can’t recommend Venture Industries Online enough!

Venture Industries has handled all my sites for several years now, from the initial construction to basic updates and maintenance. These sites are drastically different from one another, yet integrated in a certain seamless way, thanks to the innovative and comprehensive approach that is a hallmark of Venture.
From basic aesthetic guidance to cutting-edge technical advice, the difference with Venture is obvious. I finally have a full-service web company that incorporates a vast knowledge of the arts world with high-tech mastery, all at a reasonable cost. In my experience, that’s a rare combination.
