Meet
Creative Relic.
Creative Relic designs and develops websites, provides branding and marketing, and produces print, signs, graphics and apparel. Based in Gun Barrel City, Texas, we connect the work your customers see online with the materials they encounter in person.
Why website development and physical production belong together.
Creative Relic was founded in 2005. Our work connects website development, design, marketing and physical production.
A website needs attention after it goes live. An identity has to reproduce on materials people actually use. An ad needs a page where customers can find the offer and respond. The value of the work depends on those everyday details as much as the first presentation.
That is where Creative Relic's capabilities connect. Our website work generally continues in a managed environment. Our design work can move into physical production, with many products made directly in-house. Branding, marketing and individual orders can draw on the same approved artwork and business information.
This lets customers work with us on a specific job and return for related needs without explaining the company's identity from the beginning each time.
A website team for the build and the updates afterward.
We build custom websites using our proprietary CMS. Our usual managed service includes hosting, maintenance and updates after launch, so you can return to the team that built your site for technical support and content changes.
We also support WordPress and take on standalone website development projects. Before work begins, we agree on what the project includes, who will maintain the site and how future updates will be handled.
Design decisions informed by how the finished piece is made.
Printing, vinyl graphics, embroidery and direct-to-film printing each place different demands on artwork. The dimensions, detail and materials affect how a design reproduces. Knowing the intended application early helps us carry the identity into the finished piece.
Creative Relic handles the design as well as many of the production requirements in-house. The same business can come to us for a website and company materials, or for a standalone print or sign project or apparel order.
How a project moves through our team.
Understand the requirement
We review what you need, the materials or website already in use and the deadline. The starting point can be a new project, a specific problem or an order you need repeated.
Define the work
We identify the deliverables, content or artwork needed, review points and quote. Where the work continues after delivery, the engagement also establishes those services and responsibilities.
Review the design and details
You confirm the business information, wording, layout and relevant specifications as the work develops. The review gives both sides a clear basis for completing the website or physical item.
Complete the project and continuing work
The agreed functions or finished materials are checked before launch or delivery. Website maintenance, future design work and product reorders follow the arrangements for that service.
Based in Gun Barrel City. Working across Texas and beyond.
Our roots are in the Cedar Creek Lake area. We serve surrounding East Texas communities, DFW and customers beyond Texas, with website and design discussions available by phone and online. Physical orders are planned around the product and where it is needed.
Bring the problem, the project or the order. We'll help establish what needs to be designed, built or produced and what information is needed to begin.
