SPROCKET IS MOBILE-READY

Since 2014 the number of mobile device users has overtaken the number of desktop computer users – and that number continues to grow. But reports earlier this year showed that almost 50% of business websites are still not optimized for mobile viewing.

If your website still isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re not only losing prospective customers, your site’s ranking is being penalized by Google. The latest responsive websites work – and look – great on all devices. Ask us to show you how to go mobile.

RESPONSIVE FEATURES

"ALL I DID WAS HAVE YOU UPGRADE MY WEBSITE. MY PHONE IS RINGING! AND THIS IS OFF-SEASON! I'M VERY HAPPY!

- Brandon A

Happy customers is what we're all about. But that's not the end of the story. One of his competitors called us soon after and asked us to build him a site like the one we built for our customer. We declined. When we told our customer about it, he was even happier!

THE INTERNET IS A BIG PLACE

The web is a big place. There are - literally - a BILLION websites out there. But most everybody can be found at just a few places ( Sprocket knows where those places are ). You want to be where the people are; tell them about yourself; get them to visit you; THEN make a great impression ( Sprocket knows how to make great impressions ). After that, working with the customer is up to you. But that part is a pretty big job, so leave the first part to us. We craft clever messages that turn surfers into your visitors. We build impressive websites that turn visitors into customers.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

We also sell domains and hosting packages if you want to build a starter site yourself.

We can get you started with accounts on any of the many social platforms, directories and review sites, and we can even blog and post for you!

I'M NOT SURE WHAT I NEED

With twenty-plus years of experience on the web and more years in early networking technology before that, we've seen quite a bit. We are first and foremost consultants. Ask us your questions and we'll be happy to help however we can!

This is one of the best investments ASF has made. We have received so many positive responses to the new site! The on-line donations and membership renewals have been more this past month than all last year! Thanks to you and all of the team for helping us through this! Thanks again, for everything!

EILEEN BRAUN

I always feel that a brief chat with you is more informative than 2 hours with most people.

STEPHEN HALICZER

Hi Don--5 minutes between planes and had a chance to see the site--great! Have a few things to learn, but I did send out a tweet. Will write again when I hit the ground. Thanks a million!

PATTY DUFFEY

Wow! I like it! Looks great! The countdown is nice! I’m very impressed and think that even though this is the initial draft, it’s the best TEDx site I’ve seen!

ARTHUR ZARDS

TEDx Naperville

When I first decided to run, I knew one of the first orders of business was going to be the establishment of a Web site for my campaign. I turned to you after having seen the very attractive and effective site you had established for Party. From the beginning, you were very responsive to my requests, often giving me suggestions for an even more appealing presentation. I would recommend you to anyone who wishes to have a knock-out presentation of themselves or their business to the public!

DIANNE MCGUIRE

Sprocket worked with us on upgrading our DotNetNuke website and have now built 5 for us. They have been very responsive to all of our website requests. We are very pleased with all of the work they have performed.

MIKE SHAY

I forwarded your article to the president of my company. You are always right on the dot. I also refer my clients to you and your website. I usually work with real estate agents and loan officers, both of whom need effective websites.

KADIE O'CONNOR

You're the BEST!!!! Thank you. I look forward to getting a call/lead/inquiry from my website. I believe I need to have it to gain credibility... I have no idea what you did -- it sounds like "black, electronic magic" to me (LOL), but I'm glad I know you, and you were able to fix it.
