FNP Interactive Launches 6 new websites
May/June, 2009

Since May 2009, FNP Interactive has launched 6 new websites in the Frederick Community (The Banner School, Ramar Moving Systems, Ramar Transportation and Logistics, Ramar Record Retention, Ibby's Go Minis, and Waynesboro Construction).

The Banner School wanted a way to incorporate video into their website, offering a glimpse of daily life at Banner to prospective students and their parents.

The Ramar companies approached FNP Interactive with the challenge of redesigning their four websites in a way that reached their customers varying needs but maintained a consistent brand and layout.

And Waynesboro Construction needed a way to both highlight their projects to potential clients, but also an interactive system to manage and distribute bids.

FNP Interactive provided each of these clients with a unique, custom designed solution to meet their needs. Make sure to check out these sites and more in our portfolio section.
