In 2003, Vann Baker created Design-First, with the idea of offering clients in the Atlanta area “one-stop shopping" for marketing services, based upon his own experience and knowledge of creative services for print and website development.

Initially, Design-First offered website design and development as well as graphic design and pre-press production for printed marketing materials.

Over the past few years, Design-First services has expanded to include custom application development and printing, as well as Search Engine Optimization and internet marketing strategy.

Today, Design-First has a diverse client base, ranging from small and medium-sized companies to Fortune 500 companies.

Design-First has two full-time employees, and two part-time employees, and utilizes specialized resources as needed to expand the company’s work capacity and capabilities depending on client needs.
