Charlotte Web Design Company Earns Top 10 Web Design Listing from Charlotte Business Journal

charlotte web design agency award The Idea People Selected as Top 10 Web Design CompanyThe Idea People have been selected as a Top 10 Charlotte Web Design Company for 2011/2012 by the annual Book of Lists from the Charlotte Business Journal.  This is the third year in a row that The Idea People have been selected to appear in the annual list as a Top Charlotte Web Design Company.

“We are proud of the accomplishments that we have made this year as a Charlotte web design company,” said Jay Joyce of The Idea People.  “We all work hard every day to ensure that our web design clients receive the best overall creative impact coupled with the cutting-edge optimization and seo techniques.”

The Idea People began in 1994 and have been under the same ownership of Jay Joyce and Bill McCown from the beginning.  “In 1994, there were not many marketing companies that offered strategy, creativity and web design under one roof,” says Joyce.  “We were real trailblazers of sorts offering an approach that was similar to full-service advertising agencies, except with a technology spin toward the Internet.”

“As we Push toward 2015 and beyond, we see an incredible opportunity for our clients to prepare themselves with emerging Internet and technology marketing trends,” added Joyce. “Video and mobile phones will rise as the ‘go to’ customer connection points, and E-business will take on more of a presence as our clients streamline and automate business processes.”

If your company would like to learn more about our Charlotte web design company and website development services, please contact Jay Joyce at The Idea People at 704-398-4437 or email jay@theideapeople.com.
