About
We are a Creative & Digital Design studio based in Palm Coast that creates big beautiful icons, fluid web sites and exotic mobile applications.
Appstronauts is a small company from a small town that believes we can do really big, big things. Technology is rapidly reshaping business practices as new approaches to marketing and commerce are generated daily. Whether local or national, the future success of your company lies in your ability to adapt to these new standards.
Located in the sleepy town of Palm Coast, we have been conquering cyber space for local companies from Jacksonville to Saint Augustine, Daytona Beach to Orlando. Through strategic research and top notch design we are pioneering the mobile frontier to ensure that clients are on the cutting edge of innovation in a geo specific landscape.
How We Work
Our philosophy is simple: we are all creative people made in the image of a creative being. And most days our office is littered with enough skateboards, instruments, paintings, sculptures and photography to reflect that belief. Fun as it all sounds, there is no substitute for hard work. Still, we are not the best at what we do because we love hard work. We have achieved our status because we absolutely love the work we do.
Our Process
We learned long ago to measure success not by the quantity but by the quality of relationships we cultivate. From the initial consultation through the final delivery it is our tireless efforts to communicate with and include you in the process that continues to solidify our success. After all, our work is a representation of you. We just make sure it is the best of you.
Services
Web Design
Design influences everything, bottom line. The clothes we buy, the cars we drive, even the people we date are determined first by outer appearance then by functionality.
Your online site is a visual representation of your company. If outdated, your prospects will assume your business is as well. We design your site after careful research before any programming occurs to ensure that your visitors see the best you have to offer.
Web Development
A good web experience is as important to your client as a friendly sales staff or a well organized showroom. Seamless functionality is vital to increase your capture rate and a well executed user experience will always help to increase ROI.
Utilizing the newest web technologies like HTML5, the 960 Grid System, CSS3, JQuery and many others we ensure that your website will treat your clients exactly how you would.
Icon Design & Identity
Your icon represents the heart and soul of your company. Passionate, charismatic, evoking, it should embody the very essence and spirit of your enterprise.
Savvy consumers know the difference between a logo that is relevant and one that is simply the initials of your company in a tiresome font. Our designers are the best at personifying the core fiber of your organization in one killer vector file.
Interface Design
The interface. The field where the game is played on. Sure, you could design it yourself. But like making your own clothes every one would know you did. The way an interface presents material to the viewer is vital to the success of your showcase.
Design graphs are used not only to place revenue and lead generating content in areas proven to have higher view percentages but also to ensure that the beauty people find in symmetry is represented in your outward projections.
App Development
Ever had a great app idea? Who hasn't. But the steps necessary to make that dream a reality are uphill and better left on the shoulders of professionals. Lets face it, even though your mobile phone is small the task of creating an application for it isn't.
We create mobile applications as the driving force behind our client's marketing campaign and package them strategically wrapped and ready to go. Sometimes, we even put a big, shiny red bow on top.
Search Optimization
Think of your website like it is your storefront. Would you intentionally place the location of your business in a bad part of town? Of course not, so why put your site in a bad part of the web when the prime real estate is only an optimization specialist away?
Good web design is not just about looks. Like they say, location is everything. We implement the latest guidelines published by Google for optimization efficiency.
Film & Photography
Ever since eighties cinema we have been enamored with the idea of time travel. And even though the Delorean doesn't exist yet, there is a vehicle that does. Photos and film have the ability to bring us to a point in time in a matter of an instant.
Whether your needs are personal or professional, our creative touch leaves the best possible impression on those captured moments. From product galleries to album covers, training videos to music ones, we leave the best of your memories remembered.
Audio Engineering
A seemless pairing between music and life is what we strive for here at Appstronauts; the office is scattered with almost as many guitars as it is Macs. Our accomplished engineers offer fully mixed and mastered sounds for a range of audio needs such as:
Customized, functional sounds for apps, motion design, and websites.
Voice over for radio, television, web & corporate training and functions.
Song branding for advertising, film, or your latest passion project.
Consulting
We understand that working with a design studio is not routine for most clients. It’s more like walking into a grocery store with a dish in mind but having no idea what ingredients are needed. That’s where consulting comes in.
Like Google Maps, we do not simply plot out the course to your destination, we also provide multiple avenues to arrive there. Unless you’re Jack Kerouac, no journey should be embarked without first researching properly. Let us hold the compass.
Portfolio
Welcome to our 2 year old portfolio! Wait, what? Yep, that's right. It hasn't been updated since 2010 and I do apologize. Why you might ask? We've been busy cranking out an average of 6 apps a year right now and we've got a ton that we're pretty proud of to be honest. Get ready this spring for the unveiling and in the meantime, check out these oldy-bu-goodies.

We live on the web and would love the opportunity to help you enhance your presence on it. It’s a big world out there in cyber space and we understand that it can be a little intimidating. Just remember, it’s not a matter of how big the web is. The real question is how big of a part do you want to play in it?
