Creative Storming

Websites, web apps and domains from one Genoa team

Based in Genoa, Italy, Creative Storming is a collective of freelance professionals who share a passion for web work. Its catalogue runs from mobile-friendly sites and WordPress builds through to redesigns and online shops, along with web applications that include advanced features meant to improve business processes. It also handles the purchase and registration of domains, professional hosting and server upkeep.

A process modelled on preparing a gift

The firm explains its process through an analogy: making a website or web app is like wrapping a present. Before anything is designed, the team asks for an introductory meeting to learn about the client, then runs a detailed analysis that sets out what the site or campaign must do and how. The creative stage follows, with a strong focus on usability so that a product is pleasant to look at and easy for customers to use. Development comes after, and the firm says it tests the whole system before handover, so the client sees the finished product working.

Design, logos and graphics

Beyond sites, the firm produces logos and business graphics, photo montages and short videos for events such as weddings and birthdays. It describes these as options for businesses that want more visual impact without commissioning a full website.

Newsletters and IT support

It runs newsletters as a managed service, creating them and handling the sending, and it gives advice on web and technology matters. Maintenance of hardware and software is part of its support offer. The firm says clients can count on it for problems they meet on the web after a site has gone live.

Who the packages are for

Packages are aimed at private individuals as well as small and medium businesses, across a range of budgets. The firm says a large budget should not put a client off getting in touch. Because much of the work can be done remotely, it says it serves clients in Genoa, Milan, Rome, Venice, Turin, Naples, Palermo and many other Italian cities.
