Seven years ago, Lisa Nagle came to Shannon-Rose Design with her soon to be business partner, Jere Tatich. They came with a mountain of experience and a vision of this new venture, but no concrete ideas. We began by creating a name for their business, Elan, then a logo and print materials. We followed up soon after with a website from our newly created web department.

Seven years later they walk back in our office. This time, they bring an astute understanding of their business and a philosophy about their work’s place in our culture . . . and they wanted a new website. We offered several options for Jere and Lisa to choose from, but the “Every Dream Has A Reality” proposal stuck out and was the final choice that captured the essence of what Elan has become.
The Essence of Elan.
The portfolio is developed using small thumbnails located on the right side of the landing page. They enlarge as an overlay with complete descriptions. Easy to navigate, very functional, and subtly cool.

The Elan staff can easily update images and text with our custom content management tools, which is a no-brainer for keeping information up-to-date, on the spot—whenever they need it.
It looks like Elan is set for another seven years.

In short, architects need to be a great deal a lot more than just plain architects.
