Devilish Design
Graphic design is currently a $43.4 billion industry, and it has risen in value thanks to the role logos and visuals play in audience persuasion and information consumption.

Graphic design also helps you stand out from the crowd; statistics say that 73% of companies invest in design services to support their brand’s differentiation.
(Spider) Web Development
Visiting a website is a lot like trick or treating: either you go on a site and get treated to what you’re searching for or you get tricked by a poorly designed site.
It only takes users about half a second to make their first impression of your site. 61% of users don’t find what they are looking for right away move to another website to find it. Your site also can’t be a zombie; digital marketing statistics report that sites with load times longer than two seconds increase their bounce rates by 50%.
