Every small business needs to be on the web.
It’s not a maybe. In today’s web-enabled world, you can’t reach people effectively without having a strong website. There are so many reasons to be on the web we can’t cover all of them on this tiny but proud web page – but this prominent fact alone will convince you:
It’s the easiest way to communicate with
your customers.
It’s what we’re doing right now, communicating – and we haven’t even met yet!

is the most cost-effective way of making your customers happy.
The solid truth.

We’re more than a team of web professionals, we’re a posse of internet evangelists. What is an internet evangelist you ask? A person who is into all things internet and has an uncontrollable urge to tell everyone about it. It’s true. We love it.
And because we love the internet so much, we want to show you how it can work for you.
Our mission: To help businesses get measurable results
from their online efforts.
Sounds business-y, but we think it’s something we both can appreciate. We know our clients do.
The team is based in the balmy paradise of South Florida. We like it here because it’s close to the beach, it’s never cold and it has excellent connectivity to the internet. Come visit us sometime.
We take you step by step through the industry approved process for developing websites, with a couple “secret sauce” tweaks experience has taught us.
Discovery – We learn all about the project, your company, your industry and your customer. We have developed a list of questions to get to the heart of your business and allow us to work together in getting all the information we need to create a strategy.
Define – Yeah, a strategy. Your website deserves a purpose. We all do. In this phase we lock down the goals and objectives of the site, so that it is specifically designed for that purpose.
Structure – Excellent. Now we have a purpose – so now we decide what needs to be communicated on the site and how it should be done. Then we organize the content and decide on a structure. Consider it the map of your site.
Design – Yeah! Now we get into the look and feel of your site. We create a design based on all of our previous research. You would be surprised how much easier it is to envision a site once you have all that information in your hands.
Build and Test – Finally. We begin the work of programming your site. Based on the approved designs and layouts we begin the geeky part of the process – coding for the web. After the build-out we will test it to make sure all the functionality is properly in place.
Launch – It goes live. You and your website ride happily into the sunset, for a day. Don’t forget, your website has a purpose. Let’s keep a close watch on it and make sure it’s doing its job.
Evaluate and Maintain – By analyzing the traffic to your site and getting some user feedback, we can keep tabs on performance. If performance is off, we can make changes on the fly to steer your site in the right direction.
