Experience: Metrographics is a mature group of dedicated, trained professionals with decades of in-the-trenches design experience. Our founder and creative director, Doug, also brings as many years of fine art sensibility and skills to the table; his artwork can be seen in the collections of the Government of Canada, civil governments across the province, the Alberta Art Foundation, The Foothills Hospital, and the Alberta Children's Hospital, to name a few.

All our staff is highly trained and possess a collection of degrees, certificates, and diplomas. See 'Who Does the Work' for more complete biographies.

Results: We can supply testimonials and references from many clients that will assure you of the strengths of our team: design, efficiency, service and cost effectiveness. Awards decorate our walls, but the success of our clients is the most meaningful reward. We've been privileged to enjoy a lot of both.

Integration: One stop shopping for complete solutions is a benefit many of our customers thank us for. We won't hand you designs on a disk and leave you to face the next steps alone. We prefer to be involved at each phase, to assure that any issues that might develop between suppliers are managed swiftly and invisibly for you.

Technology: We run both Apple and IBM compatible platforms on-site, using the best software on the planet. Work is backed up to tape on-site and to external drives off-site every day, and double-burned to our on-site and off-site CD archives when completed. The entire office is wired for high-speed Internet access, and we have our own dedicated ftp site for file transfers.

Systems: Our project management and quality control systems have been continuously improved over years of experience, to keep our clients informed and aware at all stages. We will not increase the scope or change the direction of your project without your agreement. Like you, we don't like money surprises or missed deadlines.
