About Our Company

Fortitude, LLC is an innovative web site design company based in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Our founding member, Brian Day, has more than 15 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies in the computer industry. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and is nearing completion of his Master's studies. He has worked as an engineer and consultant in such diverse fields as internet programming, business systems analysis, database design, and virtual reality technology. Brian has been working with the Internet since 1995. He served as WebMaster to the Detroit Virtual Reality Center in 1997. Brian manages the design and programming of all of our sites. He holds each site to the highest professional standards.

Our company is founded on three core principles: the importance of a quality product, the need for personal service, and the value of client education and support.

Professional Product

Sites developed by Fortitude communicate information clearly, download quickly, are stylish, and are easy to browse. A web site is a significant reflection of your organization. We strive to make your site informative and enjoyable. Our goal is to turn the first-time visitor into a long-term customer.

While our extensive knowledge of HTML enables us to develop attractive pages, it is our programming expertise that allows us to harness the true computing power of the internet. More specifically, our knowledge of JavaScript, CGI, Perl, Java, and Unix allows us to perform financial transactions and to interact with databases, mail gateways, mailing lists, spiders, forums, and auto-responders. We believe technology, quality, and style are the cornerstones of a professionally designed web site.

Personal Service

We meet with every client to learn more about them, and their business goals. We explain Internet technology to our clients at their pace, not ours. We manage every detail of a web site from securing the domain name (www.yourname.com), to allocating disk space on an internet host computer, to developing the site to your specifications. We are available to maintain your site. Alternatively, if you prefer to maintain the site on your own, we will of course be available for education and support. Personal service is one of our core values. You will feel the difference.

Continuous Support

Web technology, style and trends advance quickly. To be useful and popular, sites must be infused with fresh content, graphics, and technology from time to time. A stagnant web site projects a stale image, discouraging repeat visitors.

At Fortitude, we don't construct a site and walk away. We develop long-term relationships with our clients by providing continuous maintenance and improvement to their web sites. We breathe life into your site with guest books, bulletin boards, data collection forms, and e-mail. We act as a guardian angel over your site, periodically looking for outdated text and invalid hyperlinks.

On the world wide web you only get one shot to grab your audience. You're only a mouse click away from losing a potential customer. So make it good. Make it imaginative, motivating, and innovative. Make it Fortitude™.
