WHAT WE DO
Web Design & Development
Small Business Websites
Small business shouldn’t mean a small online footprint. Grow your business to it’s full potential by having a professional online presence that engages your visitors and encourages them to engage you in return.
Designing and developing a website requires a wide array of specialized skills. Creating one that's effective is possible only if the responsible party has experience and creative vision. A good website is a complicated mix of graphics, code and content, and if any one of these three components is lacking, the compromised results will be easily noticeable.
So, who's building your site?
Amateurs & Novice Freelancers
This is anyone not adequately skilled in the required disciplines and/or inexperienced in the subject matter. This could be a family member, a colleague or even yourself. Providing you manage to effectively weed out the scammers (a good portion of our work is actually redoing such websites) you are still left with many unknowns. How long it will take, how much it will really end up costing you and how happy are you really going to be with the final result can be all over the scale. Any exception to this rule would be in one of the other categories below, for obvious reasons.
Conventus
This would be people like us. A small, tight-knit group of professionals with decades of experience and the skills required to create beautiful and functional web sites. Due to this unique advantage, we are able to offer services at about half the price and deliver in approximately half the time a huge development firm would require from you.
A Development Firm/Design Agency
Like any multi-layered corporation, with dedicated teams for each little aspect of the job, from the front desk receptionist, to the board of directors, everyone needs to get paid for their service by the time your website is done. While the end-result will be comparable to ours, the cost will be much higher, and the added layers of unnecessary human resources and unavoidable bureaucracy means the project will drag on for longer than necessary.
Digital PR
Marketing | Social Media | Advertising
Set business objectives, gauge market environment, determine appropriate channels and formulate an attack plan. Leverage owned, earned and paid media for a comprehensive marketing strategy on all legacy and digital fronts.

There are two main ways of getting on top of search results; paid and organic. The former is simply paying to be on top for the time that you’re continuously paying; the latter is climbing to the top, and staying there, by earning it. Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages, outlined below.
Paid Results (Adwords, pay-per click, etc.)
Organic Results (SEO, Social Media Campaigns, etc.)
Immediate results
Good for short term goals & specific campaigns
Effective when boosting a new product or service
Long lasting results
Much greater conversion rates
Extremely cost-effective
Lasts only while you’re paying
Effective campaigns can be extremely expensive
Lower conversion, as content appears as obvious advertising
Slower results
Can be costly and time consuming up front
Our approach
Depending on your product or service, we can put together what we consider to be the correct mix of Adwords, Organic SEO, Social Media Marketing and Physical Advertising to ensure the most cost effective and long lasting results. Our marketing efforts are extremely flexible, so the ratio does change based on feedback. Just as an example, if based on our market research and your goals, we decide to use 20% of the marketing budget on Adwords, 50% on Organic SEO and 30% on Physical Advertising, but we see that we’re getting better results from Physical Advertising and Adwords, the ratio immediately shifts to accommodate the feedback, by allocating more towards these two and lowering the amount spend on SEO, or vice versa.
Promotional Products
T-Shirts | Mugs | Banners | More...
From business cards, flyer and brochures, to t-shirts, banners, mugs and everything in between, if you’re looking to promote your business offline, you’ve come to the right place.
Marketing & Beyond
Physical promotional products can go a long way in building your brand’s recognition in the real world. Whether it’s simple business cards or flyers you send to current customers, display banners for local advertising, or even promotional t-shirts, mugs and pens, your business can never have “too much exposure” if your goal is success.
