Happy New Year! We&#8217;ve just returned to the studio from a short, whirlwind sabbatical.\u00a0One of the most pivotal destinations this past week was our annual Needmore Retreat at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mcmenamins.com\/426-grand-lodge-home\">Grande Lodge<\/a>. Perhaps it was the chilly wind outside and the roaring fire inside, but we had just about the most productive retreat to date.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/needmore\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5624 size-full lazyload\" title=\"Needmore on Twitter\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/q-s\/Screen-Shot-2012-01-02-at-10.51.42-AM.png\" width=\"508\" height=\"70\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/q-s\/Screen-Shot-2012-01-02-at-10.51.42-AM.png 508w, https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/q-s\/Screen-Shot-2012-01-02-at-10.51.42-AM-410x56.png 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This \u00a0year, we came away with a singular goal: to be <strong>the best web design studio<\/strong> out there. One could argue that is an obvious goal. Not so with the creative minds of Needmore; most years, we return from our retreat with long lists of new project ideas and ventures to wrap ourselves into. Inevitably, these distract us from giving our full attention to being our absolute best in one singular area: website design. Not this year. In 2012, we are completely focused and stoked to push our designs even further.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5616 size-thumbnail lazyload\" title=\"photo copy 2\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/o-p\/Part 1\/photo-copy-2-200x200.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5617 size-large lazyload\" title=\"photo copy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/o-p\/Part 3\/photo-copy-2048x2048.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also took a quick jaunt over to the Oregon coast to celebrate the new year with our dear friends and longtime clients, Michelle and Steven. (This duo is about the most hardworking \u2014 and hard playing \u2014 pair out there.) We had relaxing time at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hecetalighthouse.com\/\">gorgeous B&amp;B<\/a>\u00a0(no ghost sighting this time around) and their restaurant,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/onarestaurant.com\/\">Ona<\/a>, which serves the absolute most divine food you can get on the coast. Lucky us!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5615 size-large lazyload\" title=\"Z and her fox tail\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/o-p\/Part 1\/photo-copy-3-2048x2048.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And, of course, a week away wouldn&#8217;t be complete without time spent with family.
