Why Choose SitePoint?

Here are four compelling reasons why SitePoint is the best choice to help your business:

Building enterprise level web applications is our core business

1 SitePoint specialises in enterprise level web development – it’s what we do everyday – so we know we will deliver an engaging new corporate website for your business, on time and within budget. For our team of 67 web development experts, that’s business as usual. With our own web application framework (Gazette) that we deploy for nearly all of our clients, with the same foundation that powers our own massively popular websites, SitePoint.com and 99designs.com. Gazette provides a robust, extensible platform for content-driven web applications of all types and it has evolved over the past seven years as a result of our direct experience in building scalable, easily managed, standards compliant websites.

We set the standard for best practice

2 At SitePoint we pride ourselves as the foremost educators in web development, through our rich collection of articles, blog posts, newsletters and forum posts on our highly successful SitePoint.com website, as well as through our growing collection of books and kits (45 at last count). As a result, clients come to us because they want their web application built by the best in the industry and we are also hugely respected by the rest of the web development community for our leadership, our ability to continually innovate and our commitment to best practice standards. Needless to say, we thrive on a culture of best practice and we rigorously apply this to all of our client projects. The benefit of this to your business is that you don’t have to have your website built by those that learn from us, you can come straight to the industry experts that set the benchmark for everyone else!

We are fanatical about accessibility and the user experience

3 At SitePoint we go to great lengths to achieve maximum accessibility and engagement by creating interfaces that are tailor-made for our users, because we know that user interaction is the absolute key to a successful online business. For example, in keeping with our uncompromising adoption of web standards, our application administration interfaces provide all the necessary tools for authors to create rich content that achieves AAA compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), thereby reaching the widest possible audience.

We’ll bring agility to your business

4 Things move fast in the online world so we understand that you will desire to produce a timely online response when the situation dictates it. One of SitePoint’s biggest strengths is our agility on the Web. As an example, SitePoint was able to create and launch a new online sales campaign to raise funds for Victorian Bushfire victims within 24 hours of management signoff. Due to clever viral marketing that exceeded even our own high expectations, we exceeded our fundraising target by 400% within the three days that we held the sale. The ability to execute a campaign of this scale in such a short space of time can be attributed to our streamlined processes, our staff’s execution of these processes like a well-oiled machine, and our flexible, scalable technology solutions. As such, SitePoint is aptly positioned to assist our clients in shaping their processes and technology to allow a rapid response when it is required, while also tempering this with the right amount of governance and discipline to ensure that all changes occur in a controlled, manageable fashion.
