below are some frequently asked questions, and more importantly, their answers. oh, these are in no particular order.

1. what services do you provide?
2. what types of clients do you have?
3. how long have you been around?
4. if you're so creative, why such a simple site?
5. why you and not your competitors?

what services do you provide?
we are smart marketers, but we have a penchant for technology. most of our clients come to us with only marketing or technology needs, but we typically end up providing both. we are the interactive agency of record for a handful of companies. in general, we do these types of things:

• we build brands online.
• we build beautiful websites and highly functional back-end systems.
• we can create and implement an entire marketing campaign targeting social networks (social media marketing). this includes developing a custom, invite-only, private social network, and reaching out to existing communities to mine members and populate the community. top^

what types of clients do you have?
our clients are as diversed as we are. we've had action sports brands as clients, health care websites, performing arts centers, artists, salons, and everything in between. top^

how long have you been around?
bigdevelopment was originally founded in 1998. it was one of the most successful interactive firms in southern california. it is being re-engineered by its original founder who sold the last 2 companies he started. he's returning to his original passion. and now he's got 10 more years of experience that he brings to the table. top^

if you're so creative, why such a simple site?
good question, but our clients are happy we expend our energy, time, and creativity on their work and not our website. actually, that may be a cheeky response but there is a little truth to it. if you've noticed lately, the people who are changing the world and/or making it better, are spending their time on what they do best and in their free time, less on their website, and they are blogging about it. the web is getting simpler; design is getting more elegant, and communication is getting more concise. top^

why you and not your competitors?
that depends on the competitor. typically, our clients choose us because they are confident in our ability and they trust us. we are always competitively priced but clients choose us because they know they will get great ROI on what they do spend. and clients choose us because we add value, immediately. top^
