Wonderdisc
Wonderdisc is a Bloomington-based business providing CD duplication services for musicians and bands. Previously named B-Town Disc, Wonderdisc decided to change its name and upgrade its image in order to compete more effectively in the national CD replication market.

We worked with fun and fabulous Creative Director Jason Wilber to develop a new logo, print materials, and Web site for Wonderdisc, as well as overall positioning of the business. The upgrade positions Wonderdisc more effectively as a professional, high quality provider of resources and services. The Web site, while detailing Wonderdisc's offerings, also provides a wealth of articles and downloads for musicians. Jason attended two of our Web Smarts seminars and has taken our advice to heart, resulting in an effective site which will perform much better in search engines and yield an improved bottom line.
