Transmetrics
This Civil Engineering firm provides construction management services to the public and private sector. Their old website simply didn’t do the company justice. We created a central theme, “Building Bridges to the World”, to highlight their numerous local and international projects.
Our website was not working for us so we called on Next Step for help. The worked closely with us, listen to our desires, vision and our story. We now have a website that tells our story in three languages. We continue to receive compliments. Shirin and her staff did a great job!

Open Networking Summit
Stanford came to us because they needed a website for their OpenFlow Networking Summit. OpenFlow is emerging as one of the most promising networking technologies of recent years. Their attendees and speakers included top executives from Google, Facebook, UC Berkeley and the like. We created a complete conference website including links to online registration, program schedules, visitor info and more.
We worked with Shirin and her team to create a website for Open Networking Summit -- a brand new event. Shirin and her team did a wonderful job on a short notice -- from conception to design to programming to going on line to tracking the use to regular upgrade. We are very pleased with their creativity, quality of work, and professionalism in all phases of creating and maintaining the website. We are planning to do a couple of more websites with them.

Our websites were outdated and lacking a professional look and feel. We turned to NextStep for answers, and quickly realized we didn't even know all of the questions. But Next Step did. Their well-defined process for website development is outstanding and efficient. Shirin and her team delivered the professional "big company" website we were striving for, on time and on budget. - Steve Montague, VP of Sales, Shima American Corporation
E3 Systems
This telecommunications and cabling company needed to showcase its services . We created a flash ad space on their home page to highlight an impressive client base and accentuated their unique advantages throughout the site.
Next Step assisted us in modernizing our web site (e3systems.com). Shirin is very detail oriented, creative, and a great person to work with. I would not hesitate to engage her in any future projects regarding developing, and designing websites.

Intelligent Network Services
This IT company needed a website to showcase its services and handle online interaction with its clients. We created a system that allows people to submit requests for support, login to their remote help desk center, and more.
We have received numerous compliments on the site. We have referred her and her company to many of our clients and they all been extremely impressed by her abilities to create a website to meet or surpass their expectations. I will only recommend Shirin for website design and marketing.

Imaging Perspective
After this company created a unique software for the construction industry, they needed a way to explain what their software does in less than 90 seconds. We created a website that uses video to demo their product.
We hired Next Step after an exhaustive search for a web design firm that could take our web-site to the next level. We were impressed by the professionalism of their approach. Shirin managed every step of the process starting with customer interviews and ending with video production and integration into our existing web-site. Her customer-first orientation allowed her to capture the essence of our customer's experience and distill it to a 90 second video on our site. We booked half our business last year because people found the web-site!
