The DownRiver Group

1st off, let me thank everyone responsible for a great 2009!
The Support Team; Without you guys we would never have been able to complete the sites & the projects which made continuing possible. We wouldn’t be here without you. And we wouldn’t be able to hope for even more growth in this new decade. We’re looking forward to working you even harder(and adding some more help to assist you) in the upcoming year!
Thanks again to all of you, the server support teams, programmers, designers and others that have made this endeavor possible.

Friends & Family of the DownRiver Group: It’s a difficult task starting up a business, especially in the economy we’ve been dealing with over the last year and a half or so, and without the intellectual, moral & spiritual support of our friends and family it would have been even more difficult. Though the DownRiver Group has been around for many years(we started in internet services over a decade ago, in site development of our own in-house projects), the decision to offer our skills & abilities was made just before the recent upheaval. Even in the face of those economic changes, you saw the value of our intentions, believed in our abilities & offered resources more precious than money at crucial times. We will continue return dividends on those investments.

You, The DownRiver Clients: Last but not least, our clients; without you there is no reason to continue this aspect of the business, is there? Along with offering our thanks, we promise to continue scouring not only the internet but all venues for the information, the tools and the resources to improve your web presence and make your endeavors successful. It’s our reason for being and your success is our success.

Thank you all & we look forward to serving you all for the years to come in this new decade!

New Features For Web Presence & Web Success

With the new year we’re adding a number of new features designed to enhance your web presence.
AJAX Applications: One of these features to improve your site usability is the use of AJAX applications. These are specialized & powerful scripts that provide a wealth of interaction on your site.

Here’s a simple example of an application in action.

Media Applications: We now offer a new form of video application that allows you to embed your own videos on your site. This video app allows you to brand your own content & removes the unsightly banners usually included with the embeds from the popular video site embeds. Custom controls & skinning(the look of the player itself) are also part of this application giving you incredible control over the operation, look and feel of your site media.

Web Advertising: This is an exciting aspect of the business! We are now offering not just the design & creation of visual ads for use on websites but also a network for distributing those ads across numerous sites with significant traffic.
While newspapers & other periodicals are experiencing waning circulation, the eyes on the internet continue to grow & we have finished our beta testing on networks such as Facebook, with very encouraging success. We’ll create an ad for you, place it in effective venues & track and report on the traffic generated to your site with metrics that guarantee results!
You can also use the ads created for your newspaper, flyer & magazine needs(and we can help you with media in the proper publications, if you need).
We created the ad shown to the left, in house, and you can feel free to call Withum Sailmakers to inquire as to how their decision to entrust the Withum web presence to the DownRiver Group has worked out for them!
