Dave Valentine
The Emergent team did a great job in building a custom form that integrates with a critical system at our organization. The vendor we leverage provided an unacceptable version of this form as our option, so we're very happy to have a responsive, integrated form built and supported by Emergent for our customers to use.

My organization is new, and we've opened using Emergent's point of sale software. I have lots of questions. Mark is extremely prompt in answering my inquiries, clearing up my many confusions and updating the software to meet my organization's needs. Highly recommend.

In 2015 Emergent Software developed the point of sale checkout system for a new non profit grocery store for low income households in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The staff and volunteers were delighted with the result which was easy to learn and operate. Since then they have always been responsive whenever we needed service. We have always had the feeling that Mark and his partners had our best interest at heart. More...

We just had a fallout with a previous development company and reached out to Emergent for some immediate needs. All I can is, WOW! Best decision so far. Not only did they jump right in to help me for my current pains, they helped me to look at all areas so we could grow and efficiently conquer normal maintenance items. Plus - they actually found ways for me to save money in my database hosting solutions. Instead of just throwing money at the issue, they pinpointed it, fixed it and saved me monthly fees. When does that happen with most partners?! Never. Chris, Chris and Mike have been a natural extension of our company and I am confident in their work. I would highly recommend them over any other development companies in the area. More...

What makes a great website?
A great website looks professional, catches the reader's attention, and displays information in a well-organized fashion. Of course, each customer will have additional requirements beyond these basic traits like SEO, e-commerce, CMS integration, or other features. A great website must deliver on these needs as well.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
We strive to understand the business goals behind each request so that we can be effective technology consultants for our customer. Our goal is to help the customer make the right choices for their business. From there, we'll want to understand if they have other expectations for the project regarding timeline, budget, or specific technologies that must be leveraged. Once we understand this information, we'll be able to provide a high level estimate of what it would take to deliver the project.

Website Design & Development
Online marketing firms limit their focus to web design, building nice looking websites without taking care of what’s under the hood. Typical website development firms may deliver a well-performing website, but they often lack the pizzazz of a professionally designed website.
