Capabilities

For Dirigo, launching a new website is a single step of a very long process. Our typical project spans more than 36 months, with an investment of more than 5,000 hours. We partner closely with our clients and share in their successes and occasionally, failures.

As a development group, we expend far more effort after the website launch—things like testing design elements, content development, increasing conversion, e-mail reputation management, SEO, customer communication, lowering cost-per-order, customer retention... Dirigo was built upon the belief that clients deserve demonstrable results, a solid return on their marketing investment and seasoned talent on their business.

We enjoy to think and play where the people are, and these days that just happens to be the Internet. Simply put, we make e-businesses profitable.

Our Niche

Innovative solutions for the Healthcare, Nutraceutical, Cosmeceutical, Banking and Finance.

Because our business model allows us to acquire a single new client every 4-6 months, we tend to be very selective in taking on new work. We remain interested, however, in hearing from you. If you think your direct response project would benefit from our unique approach, please contact us.
