FAQS

How long have you been in business?

We become an LLC in 2019.

What is your experience?

Our primary experience is in business marketing. We started converting that knowledge into website development after one of Chris’ businesses he bought doubled its gross profit in its first year after adding an online marketing plan (new logo, brand, website, and online presence).

Seeing how vital a website can be to the profit of a business was an actual turning point. Also, many business owners were not getting it right – and many did not see the value in a website. As a result, they were unintentionally hindering their business growth – this helped us know that we needed to help others develop a better online marketing plan using a data-driven website plan.

How many websites have you completed?

We have developed and designed dozens of websites from various industries.

This includes- e-commerce, health care, construction, small business, portfolio-based, tech, and many others.
