E-commerce Websites

E-commerce websites are used to sell millions of products and services each day. To get your piece of the pie, you need a 'smart' website. Each e-commerce project is unique but the basic essentials are the same.

Determine how your services or products are better than your competitors.
The value you bring to a customer is unique and communicating that through your website is the first step to a profitable site.
Know your market audience - whether you are selling to an unlimited customer base or to a very specific market, identifying it is the second step to success.
Designing the site with highly intiutive navigation, good customer support and an effective sales platform lends credibility to your company and is key to repeat customers.
Convenience and usability, as well as detailed product specifications, are factors that entice the discerning customer to buy from you and is often more important than price.

We're available to discuss your project.

3D Virtual Reality

What is virtual reality?

Virtual Reality is an artificial, 3D environment. Just like the world we see around us, VR is made up of points that can be described by relative X, Y and Z co-ordinates. Two points make a line, three points make a plane, etc. Within a VR plane a polygon face is created. This polygon is arranged with other polygons, assigned color, textured, lighted and a VR environment is created. This environment can be as simple as a plain box. Or it can include millions of detailed elements that make up a complex, realistic world which we can "walk" through.

Architectural Sketching

With over 20 years of architectural drafting experience, bdg can take your project from an idea to a 3d visualization. When conceptual architectural sketchs are needed, we can utilize the newest architectural software to create an artistic sketch to analyze a building, project or product. These sketch renderings are often used to help promote or sell a project.

Architectural Animations

3D architectural models and animations allow designers and clients to view a building from inside and out before ground is broken. These virtual tours quickly highlight important elements to key project personnel. Experiencing an interior space allows for the study of spatial relationships, lighting systems, different finishes, color selections, cabinetry and furniture arrangements. Visualization of a building's exterior provides a sense of mass, proportion, and color in relationship to it's environment.

Color Studies


When determining colors for a building, it is helpful for a client to visualize the different colors and how they affect the surrounding environment or buildings. Color studies are a common tool these days but incredibily helpful in speeding up the color selection process. Building mass studies with many color options are used to more creativily represent a buildings potential. Contact bdg to find out more.

Site Studies

For years, architects have used site studies to get the best perspective on a projects environments. These studies are used by project owners, developers, architects and engineers. Using 3D technologies, a site can come to life and simplify the review phase during design development. Contact bdg to find out how you can use site studies.

Interactive Panoramas

Blackwood Associates, Inc. Architects began using interactive panoramas over 6 years ago for project websites. During construction, they monitored progress by using photos software to seam together panoramas. These panoramas can spin 360° and zoom in and out for closer detail. They are also quite effective on real estate websites, to best represent the interior and exterior of properties and residences. If your looking for an interactive panoramic solution, give us a call for more details.
