PrintNinja Ribbon Cutting, July 2011 “The first round of website development for a brand new e-commerce business is always a stressful moment. Although we knew we had a fantastic idea, my staff and I were still trying to articulate exactly what PrintNinja was and who our site should speak to as our launch date loomed. Caledon came through for us when the heat was on, deftly navigating challenges of design, user interface and a complex retail backend. Their thoughtful suggestions on structure and round-the-clock diligence made them feel more like full-on project partners rather than the ‘hired guns’ so common in today’s web development world. Our experience with Caledon was defined by their team’s time-sensitive professionalism and powerful insights, both technical and business-relevant. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for the mutual investment that only comes through true collaboration.” Russell Potterfield President & CEO PrintNinja.comSTARTUPS From web architecture to branding, from business model to marketing plan,turn to our team of experts to give your startup the best chance for long-term success.Call 573-446-7777 for a FREE startup consultation.web • branding • brochures • consulting • video • advertising • SEO • logos • sales management
