Compare Us to our Competition

Arizona IdeaWorks was born out of a clear "need" for a better solution than what traditional design consultancies could offer. We've rewritten the business model in order to streamline the design process while providing a caliber of service once offered only to deep-pocket corporations. Here are just a few advantages of using us...

 
Exclusively 'Senior Level' Designers  
Other Firms...   At Arizona IdeaWorks...  

Some firms employ 1-2 experienced designers to oversee the efforts of many younger, entry-level designers. This allows them to charge higher rates while maintaining lower payroll expenditures.

  

We cherry-pick and network with design professionals who have been in the industry long enough to branch out on their own. We also avoid employing students and fresh graduates to ensure that important design decisions are never made by someone still learning the ropes.

 

  
No 'Nickel & Dime' Mark-ups or Middleman Skimming  
Other Firms...   At Arizona IdeaWorks...  

Some design firms isolate their customers from their manufacturers. This "turn-key" strategy allows them to silently turn a significant profit from every order you place, both now and in the future.

  

We're happy to let you interface directly with our favorite factories; even when it comes to billing. This means you'll see an immediate and long term cost savings of 15%-25%; while maintaining free control to negotiate your own terms with the supplier of your choice.

 
Minimal Overhead, Simple and Effective Resources  
Other Firms...   At Arizona IdeaWorks...  

Some firms construct flashy and expensive facilities designed to induce trust from new prospects through apparent past success. This added overhead is often offset by higher rates and fewer "behind the curtain" resources for the staff.

  

Our networked-satellite business model allows us to maintain simple facilities while fostering constant communication through robust video collaboration and desktop-sharing tools. This results in significantly lower overhead while simultaneously giving our designers the tools they need to work efficiently.

  
No Competitive Isolation from Outside Resources  
Other Firms...   At Arizona IdeaWorks...  

Some design firms maintain a secretive bubble around themselves; avoiding the involvement of any outside specialists in favor of letting their in-house staff "learn as they go".

  
We view our competitors as potential resources; and call upon outside specialists whenever a project needs a non-standard skill. This collaborative harmony ensures fewer revisions and far less time and money lost to an unnecessary learning curve.
