We specialize in working with—and marketing to—women
Most of our clients are women entrepreneurs and successful female business owners, but we also regularly work with men whose firms offer products and services to women. (What appeals to women consumers is often different than what appeals to male customers, so it's critical for these firms to strike the right chord with the women in their target markets.)
We keep up on the latest market research on women consumers daily and use the data in our custom web design work, graphic design, and copywriting. Each website we create for our women-focused clients is completely custom to them and geared to marketing to women consumers in mass affluent households—those with annual incomes of roughly $50,000 to $200,000.
Here's more information on whether we're the right graphic and web design company for you.
What we do: custom web design, online marketing services, and more
Our primary focus is on web page design and related online marketing services such as expert search engine optimization and email marketing, but we're experienced in print graphic design and copywriting, too.
If you're looking for a logo design, corporate identity, business stationery like business cards or letterhead or the design and creation of a brochure, ad, postcard, or retail poster, rest easy. There's no need to go out and find another design firm to handle it for you: it's all right here, completely customized to you, and of excellent quality.
We also offer a "Do It For Me" package for busy entrepreneurs. (Many small businesses don't have enough time to carry out marketing on a consistent basis, yet reaching and staying in touch with prospects is crucial to success. We understand!) With this option, we'll put your best foot forward for you, freeing up your time so you can do what you do best. We offer both mail and email packages; sign up and we'll handle everything for you, from mailing lists to hand-addressing. You need only welcome your new customers!
And last but not least, we offer a web design speed guarantee for companies on a tight timeline, at no extra charge.
Where we work
Our headquarters are located in Charleston, SC, with satellite offices in Columbia, SC and Omaha, NE, three of Entrepreneur Magazine's top-ranked cities for entrepreneurs. We work with women entrpreneurs and small businesses marketing to women, though, across the nation.
Give us a shout and let's talk!

Aio Design: the story behind the name
Aio Design, pronounced eye-oh, is Latin for "yes" ... and those who work with us know that we're in the habit of saying yes. ("Is there any way you could do... this?" "Sure!")
For those who prefer to think of Aio as an acronym, though, the letters A.I.O. commonly stand for "all in one", and that also fits us: we offer a full range of marketing, graphic design, writing, search engine optimization, and custom web design services typical of web design companies and marketing agencies many times our size.
In this case, though, you'll never be shunted off to an intern or junior designer; all Aio Design clients regularly talk—sometimes daily—to firm principal Tiffany Jonas. And every member of the Aio Design team prides herself on personal service. (We're not just saying that; we live it every day. See the Aio Design creed for more about our values if you're curious!)
