There seems to be so much hype about all these large scale firms on he web, I think some smaller business feel they can't compete in this massive market.
In fact, this is exactly the type of project we focus on! Our goal is to create as many successes as possible. We are developing long term relationships with our customers and already have created several "money makers".
In the next 5 to 10 years I foresee the web market far surpassing "standard mediums" such as Broadcast TV, Radio, and today we are already seeing print mediums caving due to the effects of online advertising.

In 2000 we listed our service in 7 major phone books... Our phone rang less than 20 times in 18 months and the majority of these calls were people trying to sell us insurance and other services... We could not believe how "dead" directory advertising has become and judging from feedback from many other companies in other industries who have seen the same poor results we would like to officially proclaim the yellow pages "unjustifyable as a means to hit wide area markets". I would also like to mention that these 7 directory ads cost us far more than what we charge our average client for a medium size website... And, unlike the yellow pages a website stays online after 12 months... Also, consider the costs, the monthly bill for these directories was approx. $2500 per month... Our average customer pays less then $20 per month to host a website! We're
talking about worldwide exposure for less then $20 a
month! |
I pride myself on running Arcive like a "Small Family Owned" business. I've seen so many small businesses ignored, mistreated, and "filed away" by some of our larger competitors.
I have committed
Arcive to keep it's priorities on delivering a quality product at a
reasonable price. We welcome large companies but also give 100% for
newer projects that are "upward mobile" or even starting out.
We Pioneered the "CAPITAL" Philosophy of Website Design.
This 7 step
"CAPITAL"
multi level approach to laying out a website has become fundamental
and is reverberated throughout the web-design world. It was so clear
and revolutionary we claim it was the most important development for
turning our own websites into the triumphs they have
become.

We have a talented onboard staff and a network of about 100 contract employees that I consider "The Top Producers of the web". These people work on projects for large corporations like Nike, Nasa, etc. However, because of our long standing relationship I can count on them to do their best for ANY size project.
My staff can begin working on it immediately!
