Causing Effect
We are a small, friendly group with tons of experience. We are not a big agency (although we do work for big agencies). In fact most of our work is handled by our founder, Aaron. We have a trusted network of designers and developers. Together, we are able to complete projects of all shapes and sizes. And by complete, we mean “knock out of the park!”.
We take pride in the work we do, and get results to ensure that our clients (and their clients) are happy customers. We strive to over deliver on every project, because we want to provide the best work possible.
We place the ball in your court. We empower you by building websites that can be easily maintained by your organization. This affords your company great flexibility and independence, allowing you to make changes to your site anytime. It also saves you money, since you can quickly make the changes in-house.
Causing Effect was founded by Aaron Waldon in 2008. Aaron is actively involved in the company and makes it a point to get to know his clients. He ensures their expectations are met or exceeded.
Aaron Waldon
Aaron is a developer and loves acronyms like PHP, XHTML, CSS, XML, AJAX, JSON, AS3, SQL, RSS, CMS, and UI — almost as much as he loves delivering engaging, clean, standards-compliant websites and apps to clients. To the delight of friends, family, and clients, he keeps his web jargon to himself and speaks in layman’s terms.
Originally from Arizona, he currently resides in Vancouver, Washington with his wife Cami, and their children Kaylee, Cael, and Kade. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from BYU Hawaii with a Bachelor of Science in International Business Management and a minor in Information Systems.
Aaron is very personable and would love to speak to you about your web and branding needs. Start a conversation with Aaron by giving him a call at (253) 693-8338 or visit the contact page.
Our Process
Understand
We listen to what you have to say, and ask questions so that we understand exactly what you want, and how you want to be perceived by your clients. We also discuss your time and budget constraints, so we can tailor a solution that fits your needs.
Strategize
In this stage, we take what we learned from you in step one and formulate a game plan. Once we have a strategy laid out, we give you costs, deliverables, and timelines up front, so you know what to expect and when to expect it.
Design
The design is probably one of the most exciting parts of the process. There is something invigorating about seeing your project take form. We will often go back and forth with you here, to make sure you are delighted with your new eye candy.
Build
Now we breathe some life into the design, so that it works as good as it looks. Those pretty pictures transform into functional and standard compliant code. We make sure we develop a user experience that is intuitive and enjoyable.
Unleash
In this step we test the bejeebers out of the project for quality assurance, usability, and browser compatibility. Once we are both satisfied that everything is working as expected, we make the push to the live environment, and share the new you with your target audience!
Maintain
This step is easy, because we build sites that you can maintain yourself. We have loads of experience setting up content management systems that make adding and editing content (including photos) about as easy as writing an email.
