As our 12th year in business draws to a close, I’ve once again found myself looking back on the year. What have we done well? Where can we improve? How can we better serve our clients? I’m excited to announce that in early 2016, BlackOut Design will be moving its headquarters to a new local […]

Just in time for holiday shopping, we’re proud to announce our newest completed website for Nibbles & Bits! Our goal was to create a site that was both fun and functional.

BlackOut’s fearless leader, Jack, started a habit when traveling that isn’t very typical for him. He recently began planning out his trips in advance. He likes to have at least a game plan when heading out to a new city (or even one he’s traveled to a bit like NYC). Jack started working with Google […]

BlackOut Design recently teamed up with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center (NEPIRC) to redesign their website. Our goal was to design a functional, responsive site that reflects the services and mission of the organization. We wanted it to have a mechanical feel while not being overly masculine. Bright pops of color and grid- shaped […]

We are proud to announce our new redesign for Keystone Automation. This long-time client came to BlackOut looking for a fresh new look.
