Who We Are
Otherwinds takes its name from the stories of the Ojibwa (a tribe in North America's Great Lakes region often misspelled "Chippewa" and also known as the Anishnabe). Otherwinds are stray gusts of wind on the lake that seem to pull you off your intended path ... but may actually be pulling you towards some unknown and wondrous destination if you only relax and let them.

Otherwinds is a design firm that focuses on the design of online communities which mirror communities in the real world ... joining, extending & preserving them. Our work has included government websites, online community newspapers, employee web portals for large corporations, and websites in support of important social causes like the preservation of native american culture and advocating breast cancer research. We've been developing websites for as long as the web has existed and offer design and development services that tailor your website to match the message you are trying to send.

We also provide corporate identity development services from the creation of corporate logos all the way up to comprehensive corporate branding and public relations standards. Otherwinds can help you represent your cause or company in a way that captures your customer's attention and the public imagination.

Otherwinds offers a variety of media services that compliment our design offerings ... including advertising design, 3D animation, digital video editing, and interactive multimedia development for computer and DVD using Macromedia Flash and Director.

Located in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Otherwinds is available for projects both locally and nationally. Take a look at our portfolio section to see examples of our work.
