Web design firm got its start almost by accident
The birth of Tech Valley Webs, an East Greenbush based Web and IT solutions company, came about when its founder took a path down which he wasn’t originally heading.
Tech Valley Webs wasn’t the company Jim Letzelter originally set out to create. His career was in management consulting for large power companies. In 2004, he started his own consulting firm and needed a website. Letzelter decided he could build it himself and, after quite a bit of time, effort, research and practice, he produced what he calls a decent website.
“What I knew then still holds true: Having an ‘okay’ website was not good enough,” he said. “It is critical to have a highly polished, professional-quality website. So I went back to the drawing board until I got it just right.”
After that, friends and colleagues asked about the site and whether Letzelter could design websites for them, too. “I ended up building websites for them, mostly as a hobby. Before long, I was in business.”
Letzelter credits hiring his first designer as the point at which he really stepped into the business of web design. “It was a huge difference having a ‘real’ designer on the team, and the websites went to a new level. More businesses took notice, and we’ve grown ever since.”
Tech Valley Webs is dedicated to providing clients with a world class web presence and custom built software, focusing on small to mid-sized businesses that demand a high quality website and comprehensive IT support.
Letzelter says, “We differentiate ourselves by being 100% driven by our client’s satisfaction. No job is complete until the client says it is. We aim to make every client an excellent reference.”
The firm provides website design, development, marketing and support services, including search engine optimization, electronic newsletters, domain name acquisition, website hosting, email and content management.
In addition, Tech Valley Webs offers comprehensive services to keep hardware, software and systems running smoothly, including network maintenance, upgrades and repairs, security and backup solutions.
A leader in the development of software and custom solutions, Tech Valley Webs’ developers work on a variety of platforms to deliver solutions to meet a business’ needs, whether as a desktop, intranet, or web-based application. Software services include custom applications, content management systems and customer relationship management programs.
