I received the Quivira Capital project through a sub-contract with Social Buzz Media. They were helping Quivira Capital learn to use social media for their business. Their current website and logo, however, were in need of an update.

Quivira Capital provides several financial services, and they are based in Lenexa, Kansas.

The name Quivira refers to historic Indian regions in Kansas and was chosen to reflect our Midwestern roots.

Quivira is said to be one of the seven cities of gold that Coronado’s expedition searched for, thus providing even more of a financial tie-in. A request from the client was to include an element that symbolized a river to relate to the region where Quivira was located.

Next, I did a complete overhaul of their website. The following is a comparison of the old and new home page.

I kept the look very clean and minimal. The home page has a simple JQuery slider. I used key phrases from their copy, underscored them using the river element from the logo.

The interior “About” and “Services” page are simply informational text pages. The eRoom was created by their own IT.
