Advantage Graphics Plus, a provider of custom graphic solutions, recognized the need to revamp its digital presence to better showcase its extensive portfolio and enhance user engagement. The company partnered with MOOD to undertake a comprehensive redesign of its website, focusing on modernizing the interface and improving functionality.
