This diverse background enables us to cover all of our clients’ writing needs, from editorial-style articles to snappy, Web-friendly copy.
- Graphic design. Our designers have worked for both large and small companies, bringing many years of professional expertise to each assignment.
- Web coding. We do all our Web coding in house, including site architecture, design, testing, uploading and maintenance, enabling us to respond quickly to changes in this fast-paced medium.
- Administrative. We provide a written proposal for each project that includes the scope of work and the cost, so companies know their exact deliverables and can manage their budgets with precision.
- Project management. We have numerous systems in place to make sure each project is high quality and closes on time and on budget, including an extensive internal review process and, where applicable, an annual calendar of events.
