Sisu Consulting completely re-engineered their website from the ground up changing every aspect of its technical underpinnings along the way. The result? Pages load 2-3X faster and the site can now handle literally 500X the number of concurrent visitors vs. the old. In addition, this update sports universal device access, gorgeous web-fonts and new Newsroom and contact us pages.

This project is ongoing and a new, fuller site will be launched later in 2014.
  • Cisco Getthere - Helping our customers communicate is what we're all about so when Getthere needed to communicate to their partners at Cisco about new products and services that they can jointly offer to customers, they came to us.

Visitors no longer have to navigate from page to page to see everything and this design allows many visitors to be served with modest server hardware. Of course, putting everything on one page required very careful optimization of resources, and we delivered. As a result, this Django-powered site performs great everywhere from mobile devices to tablets to desktops.
