Peter Gurry lives in downtown Dallas where he survives the summer heat with the aid of his lovely wife, Kris, and newborn daughter, June. He started designing for the web back in high school when phones were still for making calls and TV was still viewed on, well, TV. The web has changed a lot since then, but the need for good design hasn’t. That’s why at Gurry Design we focus on the fundamentals: clean code, solid visual hierarchy, well-crafted typography, and clear, compelling story-telling. These never go out of style. And that’s why they inform all the work we do for our clients.
Design Philosophy
At Gurry Design we like our designs the way we like our code: clean & clear. Web users shouldn’t have to guess where to find what they’re looking for on your website. One-too-many failed attempts and they give up and head back to Google. That’s why we harness color, layout, and typography to guide your users right to what they’re looking for.
We code all our websites with clear, semantic HTML and CSS. We’re firm believers in separating content from style as much as possible. And because we keep our code clean and organized our websites are naturally Google-friendly.
Methods & Tools
We create our graphic designs with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Dreamweaver helps speed up the coding process but we never use it to generate unchecked code. For blog design, we are comfortable working with WordPress and Blogger. For smaller sites, PageLime is our preferred choice for content management (CMS). It makes updating your website a breeze. All our sites are plugged in to Google Analytics so keeping track of your site’s traffic is a snap.
