About Priva
Full-Service For Your Online Needs
Priva is a full-service firm fulfilling all of your online needs:
- Strategy
- Design
- Programming
- Hosting
- Online Marketing
Since its founding, Priva has been a forerunner in advanced Web applications. We developed one of the first online auctions and soon after our proprietary e-commerce platform which has been successfully implemented on behalf of a number of national clients. We added search engine marketing as a core competency in 2002.
Our Philosophy
When you work with Priva, you can count on these beliefs:
- Simpler is usually better; don't over-engineer
- Elegance results from diligent attention to the basics
- Start with the problem you're trying to solve
- Build websites from a strong architectural foundation based on search engine optimization
- Build websites that can be maintained without technical knowledge or dedicated staff
- Provide fanatical support – when possible, before the client even knows to ask
Our Track Record
Priva has worked with organizations of all types and sizes, with missions and strategies that demonstrate the full range of our capabilities. See our Portfolio page for a sample of our past and present clients.
What It's Like To Work With Us
Did we mention that we provide fanatical support?
Clients can reach us any time, and with such services as Total Managed Hosting and Priva Email Marketer, we can solve problems before clients even know they exist.
Projects are generally handled by a technical leader who will work with you directly to lock down project requirements, and then keep you informed and engaged throughout the process. Because of our experience and our approach to communicating, you don't have to worry if you haven't been through the process before, or if you don't have time to be fully focused. We'll bring issues and recommendations to you for easy, on-time decision-making for a project that doesn't get bogged down.
When you work with us, it feels personal – because it is. When you work with Priva, you work with the principals.
