... AND OTHER TALENTED PEOPLE!
We have developed a relationship with a small network of talented people with whom we collaborate to assist our clients with web design (building new sites and providing TLC for ‘old’ sites that need updating and new content. We support clients with monthly site monitoring & maintenance, to keep them up-to-date with functionality, as well as photos and videos. Social Media creation and posting is another way we help our clients find professional talent and support.
We also work with a select network of photographers and other professionals. They may be located throughout the Midwest (and beyond, sometimes) to assist us in providing clients with web development, social media posting and other design services – or ProgressWEBCAM Systems, as well as UAS-Drone AERIAL and ground-based photographic or videography services when needed on remote out-of-town projects. We take the “pain” out of hiring remotely by selecting and vetting remote photographers, then review imagery and handle final production (video editing / LINKINGapp assembly / printing & framing / etc.) right here in our KC Metro Operations Office. We can deliver the quality work you’ve come to expect through P-Tn, from (almost) anywhere in the USA.
