What We Do
We Help Non-Profits Succeed on the Web
Shadow Box has been helping Calgary-area non-profits succeed on the web since 2003. In fact, since that time, we have been the only web company that has focused on working with Calgary’s non-profit sector.
We Give New Businesses a Leg Up
We like for-profits, too, and we often set up template-based websites for new/small businesses. Template-based websites save start-ups capital and get them online quickly.
We Code for Other Companies
We play well with others, so web and graphic designers — who like to design sites but hate coding them — turn to Shadow Box for affordable, standards-compliant XHTML & CSS and quick turnarounds. Did we mention we do Content Management Systems? No? Well, we’re pros.
We Promote Independent Book Publishers
And, in case you think the web is our only passion, it’s not! Shadow Box is a poetry-friendly web developer, and we want to help book publishers spend less time updating their websites, and more time promoting their books and authors.
When my team at Catholic Family Service first met Shadow Box, they said: it felt good. The wonder about Eric, is that he made our learning experience while unexpected, a truly rewarding one. He guided us with integrity, kindness, know-how and the sincerity we did not think possible from such talent of the profitable tech-world. So guess what? We’re keeping our relationship with Shadow Box!
