We’re not a web design company that does marketing.

We’re not a marketing agency that designs websites.

We’re three specialist agencies in one – uniquely strong in marketing, development, and design, backed by expert strategy. 

We’re not a vendor, we’re your partner.

Together, we’ll collaborate to:

  • Determine who your ideal customers are, what they care about, and how and where to communicate with them
  • Generate leads and sales, consistently
  • Increase your online visibility through SEO, social media, paid advertising, email marketing, HubSpot CRM, and marketing automation

let’s talk

What does 3.7 stand for, and why are butterflies all over the place?

Some answers we’ve heard –

  • 3.7 was our grade point average in college (Good, but not quite 4.0)
  • Something related to the 37 Signals app, now known as Basecamp (Nope, we were unaware of the company when we got started)
  • 37 was the number of our favorite ball player (We respect former pitcher Dave Stieb, but weren’t huge Blue Jay’s fans)
  • We haven’t reached 3.8 in our release cycle

So what does 3.7 really mean?

In chaos theory, there’s a concept called the Butterfly Effect. It’s a hypothesis that one small action can cause a chain reaction, resulting in much larger differences in a later state.

The classic example is a butterfly flapping its wings which could, in theory, change weather patterns on the other side of the world.

In mathematical terms, there’s a formula that maps population growth: pt+1 = ((K – pt)/K)*(1 + r)*pt = ((K – pt)/K)*s*pt.

When the multiplier S reaches 3.7 in this formula, the population jumps in an unexpected, non-linear way.

At 3.7 Designs, we apply the concept of the butterfly effect to business. Creating small inputs and changes (like a website refresh or a new marketing campaign) to generate exponentially bigger and better results (like business growth, lower overhead, higher website rankings, etc.).

That’s why at 3.7 Designs, we believe the Butterfly Effect is a beautiful thing!

We’re your partner, ally, and number one advocate, providing guidance and advice that supports you in achieving your business goals.

We still have a soft spot for Ann Arbor and have several team members in the area. After all, it’s a great city in a state with a rich history in design and technology innovation. Herman Miller, William Hewett, and Larry Page were all born here.
