Annaly Capital Management, a family of publicly-traded companies, was referred to us in late 2004 to do a ground-up rebuild on their dated website. They wanted a fresh new look, modern functionality, and agile content manipulation.
Since that time, our companies have formed a strong relationship. As Annaly's family of companies has grown, ClearView Studios has been standing by to deliver crisp new websites with lightning-fast turnaround times, complete with XML-based financials updates (among other Web 2.0 capabilities).
When DYO was referred to us, their needs were unique; an eProcurement system that would allow several hundred of their client's franchise locations to order staff uniforms through a single portal, simultaneously funneling orders to fulfillment and billing to headquarters.
Our solution was a private web-based storefront that streamlines the procurement process and provides our client with both a high level of control and robust sales statistics.
Following the system's success, DYO contracted us to build similar systems for several of their other customers, tremendously easing the workload for not only their own staff, but for their clients as well.
For All-Season Cottage Rentals, search engine traffic provides a significant chunk of their business. That is why, after their rankings were badly impacted in a redesign by a company not familiar with search engine optimization, they came to us for assistance.
After just two months, they were ranked within the top 3 search results for their targeted keywords - phrases for which they hadn't even been ranked on the first page previously.
