Manage Your Website
The challenge of managing your website [effectively] with an internal team is formidable. Competing priorities, talent acquisition/retention, continuity, and strategy all pose challenges to your success. If you’re experiencing any of these challenges, our team can quickly break the bottleneck and solve the frustration in your organization.
When we are approached to help manage a new website or application the conversation usually starts like this — “We need a team that can manage our site and make it better without breaking anything.”
We provide much more value than this, but it’s a good place to start the conversation. Apparently it’s quite difficult to find a team that works as an extension of your own team – filling all the gaps in horsepower, process and expertise to deliver outstanding results. That’s what we do, and we’ve gotten really good at it.

Embrace innovation to drive new value for your organization. Let’s innovate something great together.
Expertise
Gone are the days where you could hire a “webmaster” who had all the talent you needed. Around 1998 this became a fantasy – one that many organizations still cling to today. The idea that you can find a unicorn, make them an offer they will accept, and then provide interesting work that will keep them engaged is at the heart of the myth. It’s like the Loch Ness Monster except far less plausible and much less exciting.

Process
Through our retainer services agreements, we’ll serve as your technology management partner handling the support, growth, and security of your new application or website.
