Over the last 10 years we have designed and built hundreds of websites for social justice organizations, non-profits, NGOs, labor unions, and progressive businesses. From small brochure websites, to complex magazine, social networking, and e-commerce websites, our experience designing and building websites for progressive organizations runs the gamut.
Your logo and identity are the symbolic visual representation of your mission. An identity system makes your organization easily recognizable with a unique logo, color palette, and matching materials.

Services
As part of the movement for peace and justice, Design Action supports all efforts to bring about progressive social change by providing high quality graphic design and visual communications services to progressive organizations. With this in mind, our "Points of Political Unity" give direction to our work.
Design Action Collective began in 2002 as an independent design and communications spin-off of Inkworks Press Collective. The following is from Inkworks Press after their closure in 2015. We worked hard to develop our skills and, as a democratically managed work collective, maintained a union job shop which served a broad spectrum of the movements for social change until we closed at the end of 2015.
Design Action provides graphic design services for what was traditionally printed. We come from an established print background and can help you to get through the often mystifying world of getting your materials designed and printed. We design brochures, posters, postcards and fliers, reports, books, invitations, buttons, stickers, CD packaging, art for Tshirts. We also design logos and visual identity systems for branding your organization or campaign.
If you decide to work with us, we will do an in-depth discovery process with your organization. We are happy to schedule a free 15- to 30-minute intake conversation to assess your needs and provide an estimate for the services you require. If we see that you need a more in-depth conversation to help you identify your priorities and which media tools will help you meet your goals, we can schedule a 1-hour consultation meeting ($200), after which we will provide you a recommended budget and a clear list of recommended deliverables.

We interviewed these folks for web and graphic design services. I find their work product to be decent, but generic and repetitive across numerous clients. The way they are organized might pose problems for clients wanting timely service. They also provided a highly unresponsive and curt answer to reasonable follow-up questions by our group, which I felt was unprofessional.

I am rating Design Action again because my first Yelp review was for their graphic design services. I also worked with William, and now Andrea, to design our website. Using Design Action for the graphic design and web design was fantastic because we ended up with a unified look across media. William was so collaborative and responsive in creating the design scheme and website that when people ask who created it, I feel like saying that I did, even though I can't write a single line of code.
He masterfully went through design stages to facilitate our ideas and structures for a major redesign of our website into a masterpiece. I am currently adding features to the site with Andera's help and Design Action now uses Basecamp to coordinate the design and implementation process. This is a very useful tool and Andrea is good at creating the updates we want. William and Andrea have taught me how to use the backend of the website so that I can manage it on my own.
