The Problem
Karl has been working in the industry for 30 years. After researching the clock repair / clockmaker market, I found that the designs of this and most business’ in the field are left as an afterthought.
Currently, Karl was running his business on word of mouth jobs and needed a way for people to find him and contact him through the internet.
Karl needed a logo and website that brought him up to speed with the changing times.
