Our Values We love travel. | We love exploring new places. | We love meeting face-to-face with clients. | We love sharing knowledge with business owners striving to grow their online presence. | We are committed to spending time on the road each year visiting our clients and getting to know their cities. | We believe there is valuable experience gained by spending time in new markets – experience that gives us a leg up on agencies locked into a single geographic area. Everything we do is driven by our core values. We believe quality of life matters. How do you want to spend your life? There is a difference between “work” and “how you make a living.” We believe that joy can be found in work, but we also believe that there is more to life than work. For our clients, for our employees, for ourselves, Road Warrior Creative is a company that strives to improve lives. For Our Clients We make the internet more beautiful and purposeful, one website at a time. We improve your customers’ experience and increase satisfaction as customers interact with your brand. We help build online marketing processes that make businesses more efficient and more profitable. Above all, we worry about about your online presence so you don’t have to. For Our Employees We believe you can live anywhere and work everywhere. We value quality of work produced over hours clocked. We think work should be fun and each day should should bring new, exciting challenges. If you don’t like something, change it! We believe in work/life balance – family, happiness, health all come first. For Ourselves We love what we do and we wake up each day excited to get to work. We’re committed to creating a positive environment for ourselves and those around us. We never put profits above people, relationships, or self-care. We believe in growing relationships, not transactions. We value our clients and employees as individuals. In every interaction, we strive to increase impact and add long-term value to our clients and their customers. Whether big or small, we consider each project to be the beginning of an ongoing partnership. Our Approach to Client Partnerships We want our clients to think of us as an extension of their in-house marketing and web department. We see ourselves and our clients as one team working towards one goal. Our clients’ successes are our successes and our clients’ disappointments are our disappointments. Our Approach to Team Building There’s always time to get to know one another – even on busy days and when working remotely. Individual personalities and interests are celebrated. Each member of our team is a valued contributor, vital to our success and overall growth. We believe in always putting people first. We enjoy getting to know our clients and employees (face-to-face when possible), and place importance on shaping an experience that brings them back year after year. We believe in giving back to our communities. We are committed to making a difference. We place priority on giving back to our community, both locally and across the U.S. We believe that businesses can only be successful when they are engaged in making the world a better place. We value the people and organizations around us and are committed to giving back through teaching, mentoring, volunteering, discounted services, and donations. How We Support Nonprofits We make regular cash donations to 501(c)(3) organizations. We provide a 20% discount to nonprofit organizations on all products and services. Every year, we build one free website for a nonprofit organization, nominated and voted upon by the community. How We Support the Community We organize and regularly attend local meetups, where we provide free website and marketing support to other designers, developers, and small business owners. We share blog posts with how-to tips and relevant research. All employees get 2 days paid leave each year for volunteering with an organization of their choice. Visit Our Giving Back Page We believe “someday” is not a day of the week. Carpe diem We believe in setting goals and meeting them. We believe in not letting a fear of failure hold us back. We believe in taking risks, trying new things, and taking businesses to the next level. We believe there can always be more, we can always be better, and our selves and our business can always grow. Success Is Not Found, It’s Made We believe that our actions can bring change, and we believe in inspiring others to be change agents in their businesses. We love working with clients who are committed to growing their business or nonprofit, and who understand there is no time better than the present. Changing a brand, improving a website, or increasing sales starts today. We believe sharing knowledge builds loyalty. Knowledge is Power & We Love to Teach Education and training are a core part of our services. Not every business wants to completely delegate their website work to an outside team. No one wants to be beholden to a web developer. We create tools that give control back to our clients – even without coding knowledge – and we happily include training on how to use those tools with each project and proposal. Want to change photos and text on your website? We’ll show you how. Want to learn CSS, HTML, or PHP to do larger modifications on your website? We can help with that too. Need to know SEO basics so you can optimize your own website? We have a training program on SEO. All of our clients have full access to their website and files from the day the project is completed. We have many clients for whom we manage all the day-to-day basics of their online marketing strategy, but we’re also just as happy to hand off the keys and take a step back while you run the show. We believe that placing education at the center of what we do empowers our clients, builds trust, and grows long-lasting working relationships. We believe the 9-5 is dead. The Internet Doesn’t Have Business Hours Customers don’t just visit websites between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Social media is 24/7. We know that our clients need their websites and online marketing strategies to work for them no matter what time of day or night their customers are online – whether on a computer or on a mobile device – and we have built our business around today’s 24/7 technology culture. We have some traditional business hours when our clients are guaranteed to reach us. We can also regularly be found answering client emails or launching new projects late at night or on weekends. We’re Available When You Need Us We believe that a business built on the internet has to be fluid and responsive. We believe in being available when problems arise, whether it’s at 2:00 PM or 2:00 AM. …Without Sacrificing the Things that Matter Most We believe in being present for our clients, but we also believe in taking afternoons off to watch a school play, Friday happy hours at a local brewery, and weekends camping in the woods. The 9-5 being dead swings both ways. We Build A Following That Accelerates Your Bus...
