The Oyova way of doing business is proving to be a big success

Jacksonville, FL -- (SBWIRE) --11/15/2011 -- When Kimberly Deas had a great idea to make an online marketing tool for small businesses (http://www.mypromozilla.com) she went looking for a web developer in Jacksonville, Fl. She never knew that it was going to take 7 developers and over a year to get her specialty online application developed. She hired the first developer she interviewed and after 6 weeks and no progress, quickly realized the hardest part of her project might be finding a web developer to make it a reality. She searched near and far, considering offshore and as well as local options. After 5 months and many interviews and searching, she hoped she found the right company. After just a few meetings, she knew she had the right company: Oyova Web Development and Design located in Jacksonville (http://www.oyova.com/).

Kim's story is not uncommon. Many small and medium businesses find that what you want and what you get may not always be the same. Many will promise deadlines and prices then after hours of work, realize they misquoted the job only to have the project more expensive and more timely than expected. Others will simply not understand the requirements or how to turn the complicated requirements into reality.

The owner, Dave Mcgraw says, "After working with several companies that came to us after experiencing over priced and under delivered products, we decided we were going to be different. We provide accurate and fair quotes. We know that projects take time and with our proprietary time management system, we are able to accurately budget time and deliver on what we promised."

But Kim's story is not unique. http://www.planeths.com came to Oyova asking for a custom website where parents and teachers can communicate through a secure portal. They wanted to stream live sports activities, club meetings, morning programs, and announcements directly from their website. Oyova was up for the task and today Planet HS links more than 8000 student provides a great solution to thousands of students and administrators. Oyova was able to take their client's good ideas and turn them it into reality.

So when a local insurance franchise, We Insure Florida (WE http://www.weinsurefl.com/ ), wanted a website management company, they were excited to talk with Oyova. "Most developer's start with the requirements, what do you want. We are different," says Dave, "We start with: what are you trying to achieve and then we recommend what you need. We take the time to understand your business; not just what you want your website to look like. Anyone can make a pretty website, we help our clients get results their websites."

When Oyova dug a little deeper to truly understand WE's business, they saw opportunities for improvement in their existing website. In the truest sense of a partnership, both David and Corey Trent, Director of Client Services jumped in with both feet to come up with several innovative ideas that would help WE to further grow their business. Chris Ferry, the Director of Marketing at WE says, "Corey from Oyova worked as a real partner to help us by researching various options and providing advice on what to do and where to go. With their suggestions for a new email system, WE was able to maximize our ability to inform agents how WE supports entrepreneurs to reach their dreams of owning their own business. Oyova has been an instrumental part of our growth."

Many web developers have highly skilled programmers that can make pretty sites, integrate complicated contact management systems, interface with custom API's. Kimberly Deas says, "What really makes Oyova different is the fact they are on time, on budget and have skilled programmers that can execute even the toughest of integrations. And on top of that, they understand how to make the website work for you. It not just about a pretty site, for them it is about achieving your goals. I can't see using any other developer."

About OYOVA
Oyova started in 2007 and is a full service website design and development company that provides website maintenance and online marketing services as well. Oyova is based in Jacksonville, FL and is owned fully by David McGraw. Current Oyova has 4 full time developers with experience in Adobe Flex, PHP, Cold Fusion, Infusionsoft, wordpress and more.

David Mcgraw started Oyova as a company that would be easy to work with and that understood the world of programming. He had a vision to create a different kind of web development company, one that was user friendly and went the extra mile for the clients.

Corey Trent brings a wealth of knowledge to the team. With many years of online marketing experience Corey, understand marketing and web development. As a research manager for Marketing experiments, he lead marketing strategies and campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. With an eye on technology as it relates to business, Corey sees internet trends for his clients long before they are mainstream.
