Company

KISS Computing was founded in 1997 upon the principle that things can be done better through simplicity. We're a Cape Cod, Massachusetts – based company offering excellent web design and development services, highly effective managed Internet marketing campaigns, and simple products needed by people who own web sites. Our clients come from all over the world - - after all, today's online market is global, and we've been pleased to help people in Australia, the UK, Ireland, Brazil, Canada and more than 20 states in the US. Early in 2007 we opened a new office in Dublin, Ireland, and our staff there is expanding.

The combined effect of Newton's Three Laws of Physics suggests that nothing happens in the universe in isolation of everything else. The same is true for web development. An holistic approach to the creation of an e-commerce web site is essential to its success, and this is the KISS difference. We seek and accept clients on the basis of this philosophy, managing everything from design to copy, production to functionality, marketing to maintenance, within the structure of all-encompassing relationships that extend over 2-3 year terms and beyond.

We screen our project applicants with as much care as we hope to be scrutinized ourselves. We limit the number of projects accepted to that for which we can devote adequate time and attention each month with confidence. This involves more of a “partnership” approach with our clients, a relationship with equally important responsibilities for the project, another of the KISS differences. After all, a client's success is the measure of our success.

We're a collection of ideas and notions of what the Internet can be and needs to become. We're not afraid to look over the edge, to dream of what could be, and then make it happen. In 2006, we developed software for the online listing and booking of vacation and holiday rental properties, and launched the first of our Web 2.0 Rich Internet Applications, Rental Solutions Software, in January, 2007. In late 2006 and early 2007, we developed software for the online booking of golf tee times that included a shopping cart for a golf course's Pro Shop. During the summer of 2007, we will be launching our own version of a small business management system with both CRM features and so much more. Our Team Solution Software also has a municipal version for towns and cities, and each includes shared resources to keep all team members on the same page every day. More RIAs are on the drawing board for the second half of 2007 and the first half of 2008.

KISS is an example of what will be the typical small business - - a mix of in-house and telecommuting staff. As such, we have a keen and very personal understanding of the needs of small businesses wishing either to create an Internet presence or to grow their existing web-based presence. Each of us brings to the table several overlapping skill sets, whether it be keen programming talent, a full color palette of designs, a meticulous production nature, crisp and cogent copy writing, or insightful business sense.
