Tim Gallant Creative
Branding and design that gets the point.

I get it.

A logo, a print ad, a web site - these are not about jaw-dropping whizzbang effects. They're about you and your product, and that's what I'm here to put front and center.

I offer creative branding and promotional solutions, including identity development (logos, slogans, original imagery, theme characters), copy/wordsmithing, print design, and web site development.

Applications include: Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Poser Pro, and more.

About Me

I'm a 40-something graphic designer and author, along with being a church leader and something of a musician.

I have extensive experience in writing cleanly-coded XHTML/CSS-based web sites which are inviting to users, search engine friendly, work well across a variety of browsers, and load fast.

As one who has been speaking publicly and writing creatively for three decades, I understand communication. I am well-versed in the basic rules of grammar, but I also know how to think outside the box. (I'm a songwriter, after all.)

What Happened to Pactum Web Services?

I carried out my web development work under the banner of Pactum Web Services for about five years. That work has been enfolded into Tim Gallant Creative, for a variety of reasons.

One is mundane: As a sole proprietorship, it made more sense for my business to be done under my own name rather than shuffling money between bank accounts. Sometimes you just need to simplify.

More importantly, the singular accent on "web" implicit in the previous name obscures the fact that I offer a wide variety of creative and design services. I wanted my site to have the conceptual breadth that I do.

Finally, over my time in the promotion and marketing field, I have come to appreciate more and more the benefits of the personal touch. Not that I ever hid the fact that I am a one-person operation, but I'm more aware than ever that this smallness is an asset rather than a liability. It means both personalization and agility.

I provide personalized service in a way that a big design studio cannot. There are no hoops to jump through, assignments to spread around. I'm it. Sometimes it's a good idea to think small.

Being small doesn't mean I can't take on big projects. But it does mean that every project will be handled in one place, with one person. You won't have to repeat yourself to three different people, and you won't have to wait for your requests to trickle down the line. Changes are often carried out in a matter of minutes, not days or weeks.

Tim Gallant Creative is small, and I like it this way.

I think you will too.
