Our Work Philosphy
Every good business begins with a dream. A dream of fulfilling a need with goods, skills or
services. We are a small firm, and our earnest aim has been to put our special skills to use
for other people, and to earn a living doing so. Over the years, our line of work has put us
in contact with so many fine people who are striving to achieve this very same goal.
Because of our experience of owning, running and promoting our own company, we can readily
identify with others who are traveling down the same challenging road,
spurred on by the aspiration of achieving their unique dreams. We understand that the e-commerce
websites we build represent a client's partial or complete livelihood. We understand that
a non-profit organization is about a group of dedicated individuals who willingly sacrifice
personal time in order to deliver an important message to the public. We recognize the hope
which lies behind every worthy website and, because of this, we aim to handle our clients'
business needs with the respect and attention they so evidently merit.
We believe that it is our client-oriented mindset which is helping our web design firm to
succeed. We truly value the working relationships we develop with our clients and feel
honoured that they are entrusting a part of their business or mission to us. In our personal
lives, we know how much we prefer dealing one-on-one with real people, whether in stores,
over the phone, or over the Internet. It appears to us that one of the drawbacks of today's
astonishing technology is that it puts automated messages, responses and assistance between
people, instead of letting folks talk to one another. We actually want to talk to our clients.
We know that this is the best way for us to get a true feel of what their companies and groups
are all about, and that really helps us to focus on the work that needs to be done to assist
them in their plans. It may be a little unusual for a technology company to have such a non-corporate
attitude, but the happiness in our work comes from knowing we are helping real people with
important needs. We want to hear about you and are committed to offering you fairly-priced, ethical
and thoughtful services.
Solas Web Design is eager to share in your dreams and will work diligently for the gratification of
seeing them come true.
