Once upon a megapixel . . .
Once upon a time — in 2003, actually — a former Wall Street Journal writer formed a PR company called Keybridge Communications. Its mission was simple: Work hard for clients and deliver outstanding results. Today, Keybridge has hundreds of clients, including over 30 Fortune 500 companies.
Our company — Keybridge Web — is the online division of Keybridge Communications. In the beginning, we spent most of our time developing websites for large PR clients. Then one day, we had a spark of inspiration: Why not provide Fortune 500-quality websites to smaller organizations, as well?
So that’s what we started doing. Given recent advances in content management and eCommerce software, sites that used to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars can now be built for just a fraction of that amount. In fact, they can be created for as little as $7,500 — and glitch free.
Over the years, we’ve built hundreds of websites, saving clients, literally, millions of dollars collectively while helping them grow their organizations.
We’d love to do the same for you.
