Sprocket Websites

COVID-19: We continue working, out of our homes, to "lower the curve" and keep our health industry from being overwhelmed. We hope you are able to do that, too. Let YOUR clients know about you. Are you open for business? Have you changed operations in a way that might impact them? Put a banner on your site - like THIS one - to let them know.

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!

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!

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

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.
