Multi-disciplinary Background

The skillsets we bring to your project

We built our first website in 2008 with limited knowledge of HTML and CSS. Over the years of learning, training, and experience, we slowly built our skillset to what it is today, significantly improving our work's quality and outcome.

Psychology

Psychology is a significant part of what makes us unique. It allows us to understand our target customer's needs and wants and align our design to encourage engagement.

Design

Understanding design and interaction principles helps elevate our design, clarifies the business' message and brand identity, and improves the user's experience.

Technology

We use the appropriate media and web technology to communicate our client's values, and that allows user interaction, drives conversion, and reaches business goals.

Our Mission and Values

The values that guide us in our mission.

We love working with small business owners and managers who genuinely love serving and elevating their community.

Unfortunately, most of them don't get the recognition they deserve, so they often fail because, in most cases, their businesses lack visibility and clarity on their message to the people they want to serve.

Our mission is to help bridge that gap between their business and target customers.

Kaizen

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that means to improve continuously. We believe embracing new technology and constantly improving ourselves and our craft is essential to finding better ways to stay relevant in the market we want to serve.

Tolerance Icon - Varona Designs

Gaman

Gaman is a Japanese philosophy that means to endure or tolerate any adversity that comes into your life. Starting and running a successful business is challenging. Every business person understands what it's like to live in uncertainty and hardship, and enduring the challenges is the only way to be successful.

Integrity

Integrity is keeping your character true to your beliefs, moral values, or principles. Our integrity is essential in building a long-lasting and sustainable business because it is the primary factor that drives our brand and how our community perceives our company.

Helping Icon - Varona Designs

Empathy

Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of another. To effectively serve our ideal customers, we should always strive to understand their needs and wants, and it's the basis for creating a successful service that works best for them.
