Ethan Feerst
In general, we are building and back-end-customizing sites built on Concrete5 (5.6 and 5.7), Wordpress and Magento CE; B2B and portfolio sites, online stores, many B2B features geared to business operations; back-end tools, merchant services and payment processing, one-time purchases and recurring subscription packages, custom mods for staff and management needs; also a number of unique product database and inventory management solutions.
For the last few years, my company's focus has been with custom website builds that involve a lot of piping; we build a lot of our own middleware in order to support multiple APIs and complex synchronizations from various tech partner solutions that our clients need.
