Each client that comes to us to take their business online has a unique set of needs and project requirements. Here are some examples of how we not only build our client’s online presence, but we take some time to think about their business and how it will relate to the people visiting their site. After all, the Internet is a technical place, but it’s a place made of people too, or end users as we call them. Keeping this in mind when designing a comprehensive Internet campaign can directly effect your company’s ability to convert online visitors into offline customers.

Toledo.com | View Site
Toledo.com is our signature city portal site. We not only built the site, but we own and operate it as well. It takes a lot of time, effort and coordination to keep a site like this interesting and a great resource for the community. We have around 150,000 unique visitors coming to the site every month for everything from movie times to event information to house hunting. With so much going on on the site, it takes a lot of time and planning to keep things organized and user friendly. We feel that we’ve accomplished this, and our feedback speaks for itself. We’ve had comments from seniors to kids and everyone in between thanking us for making sure our community has such a great online resource. If you’re interested in building a city portal site, we’re experts, let us help you out!

Anchors Chips | View Site
Everybody loves potato chips and the more unique and flavorful the better! That’s the thinking behind Anchor’s Food Find’s. We knew we needed to make this site sell their Chip of the Month club subscriptions, so fun was an essential component, but also ease of use, great photography, and site marketing! Because you can create a great site, but if no one knows it’s out there, well, in this case...you’re not selling chips. We worked to get this site mentioned in Maxim Magazine, TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Food Network's Unwrapped, NBC's The Today Show, ABC's Overnight program, AOL Food and the CBS Early Show.
