Slick Media started operating in 1999. The company is headed by Christopher Duffy who is the Lead Designer and Developer. The company was started explicitly to provide website design and maintenance services to small to medium non-profit organizations and businesses. Our aim was to empower these organizations by solidly establishing their presence and then providing rapid turnaround on maintenance.
This model proved successful, however, the company has shifted it's focus to further empower our clients by keeping the content stream in their hands by using ColdFusion to develop powerful, self-maintainable websites and web applications. We continue to provide all levels of web maintenance, as well as developing these highly advanced sites.
