Why Choose RainStorm?

At RainStorm Consulting, we build hand-crafted websites without compromise.

When you choose to work with RainStorm for your project, you can feel confident knowing that you are choosing a team of people who are committed to listening to your goals, solving your problems, and working with you to create a customized, detail-oriented website.

If you're comparing us against other firms, please take a moment to consider the four reasons we feel make us the right choice for any project that requires experience, excellence, and meaningful support.

We're committed to your long-term success.

While other firms promise you a quick turn-around so they can get on to the next client, we will take the careful and steady approach to your website success. We know that quick fixes don't help you in the long term and our success has never been dependent on how many sites we complete in a year. So rather than going after increasing numbers of clients, our focus is on taking excellent care of the amazing clients we already have.

We're careful about taking on new commitments and instead focus on improving the websites of our select clients. Not only are we focused in creating compelling, successful, detail-oriented sites but our follow-up ensures that these sites stay successful for the long term. With our consulting services we will analyze your site and its visitors to ensure it's tuned for optimal performance.

Whether you are focused on recruiting more students, selling more products, increasing your membership or informing the public, you should work with a team that cares as much about your site's success as you do.

Our ongoing commitment to you and your success will be the factor that makes all the difference.

We take a team-based approach.

At RainStorm Consulting, we rely on our team of five in-house experts with more than 50 years combined experience to complete your project. Each of our employees brings specialized skills in their own disciplines, including graphic design, web development, programming, and server administration.

We believe that involving our entire team in this way results in shared knowledge, reduced mistakes and a higher standard of support via familiarity with your distinct needs.

In addition to our five decades of combined experience, our staff is also highly credentialed in their respective fields. All of our programmers are PHP certified (two thirds of all PHP5 certified programmers in the state of Maine work at RainStorm), while our entire staff shares degrees in fields ranging from New Media to Education and Computer Science.

You can trust the experience RainStorm brings to each and every project.

We care about the important details.

At RainStorm, we don't measure success by the flash of your homepage. Instead, we focus on metrics that often go unnoticed— even by other firms. Our careful attention to the many crucial details of your project ensures an extraordinary website that will work smoothly for years to come.

To achieve consistent attention to the details of every project we undertake, our 45-point checklist is deployed prior to completion and launch. We're not just working to exceed your standards, we're working to exceed our own as well. We'll never launch your site until we're both satisfied that it's the best it can be.

If you're constantly on the phone getting your website fixed, call us. We'll put it right from the start.

We're proud that our clients are references.

At RainStorm Consulting, we've never taken the "slash-and-burn" approach to serving our client base, and we never will. Instead of hurrying you in and out the door, we'll treat you like we do all of our clients: with patience, respect, and long-term commitment.

This approach means that today, each and every one of our clients is a reference for our work and our support services. We've built this relationship with our clients not only though our development practices, but through our commitment to an ongoing relationship after the project is completed.

Our clients know that when they call us, we'll provide free, unlimited support for our work and our web hosting services. What's more, when a client calls us, they know that any person who answers the phone can either help them with their problem or immediately connect them to somebody who can.

If you want to hear objective feedback from any of our clients about how we work to build long-term relationships, get in touch with us. We'll send you a list of references right away.
