We've got the experience to back you up.

Industry experience is the most important thing to have under your belt when it comes to technology.  Classes and certification mean something, but implementing and supporting technologies in a production environment is the key to being able to perform in real world conditions.

We have a very, very long list of software products our cumulative knowledge makes us experienced with just about everything you use.

Additionally, our talent has broad design and development experience too—and it goes way beyond Web sites like the one you're reading now.

This page is here to give you just a sample of some of our experiences and work from the past.

Site: Spin Music Video Database
This Chicago nightclub needed a way to catalog its music video collection of thousands of music videos, where multiple people could work simultaneously on the database, and print various versions of it, both for internal use and for the public to request videos.  This solution has been in use all year and continues to make things easier for the club.

Site: SaveChicagoTransit.com
This site was set up to better inform the public about an impending transit funding crises in 2004/2005.  The site still prevents information, but won't get a major update until the next time there is a crisis at hand.

Cassona.com
Web site for a furniture store.  Staff at Elevated Consulting, Inc. were responsible for completely overhauling this Web site, reinventing the site navigation, and updating hundreds of static product pages.  Sales at the store off the Web have indeed elevated, and the site has more than paid for itself.

CoreComm Internet (web dev/design/content writing)
The Web site for Internet service customers of CoreComm provides service, promotional, and support information. Current staff at Elevated Consulting, Inc. were fully responsible for Web development, content writing, layout, navigational structure, and maintenance, and played a major role in the design process for the template governing CoreComm Web sites.

Note that much of the content has been reorganized since Tony Coppoletta's departure from CoreComm.
