Eight years ago, we started a delivery service. Because we invested in brochures, we never thought about marketing our business online. Now that we have a steady clientele, we’re investigating the feasibility of have a company website designed.

We’re looking for a St. Louis web design company to develop our company website. We’re a little confused. We need a web design firm that is creative but can market our company to our target market of small to medium-sized businesses.

Is this a legitimate certification?
