The Company
Since its foundation in 1997, Bright Builders has grown each year, despite the shaky economy for "dot-com" businesses. Why the success? We believe in hard work and first-rate products. Bright Builders’ first goal was to place e-commerce and website development in reach of the novice. We have met this goal, and the public has responded with enthusiasm.
Traditionally, e-commerce website owners hired several parties to carry out web hosting, web design, shopping cart design and maintenance, payment gateways, and merchant services. An expensive ordeal. Bright Builders created the ideal when we introduced web business owners to a new concept—one-stop web development shopping.
We fulfill all the needs that five separate contractors or companies fill for other websites. And we do it at an affordable price.
We know our clients are on fire with the entrepreneurial spirit. They are forward-thinking people who understand that finding the right technology and education can make the difference between the success and failure of their companies. Their needs drive our company to develop new and better ways to conduct business online.
Bright Builders primarily sells wholesale through retail partners.
The Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple. We offer products we ourselves would, and do, use. And we do it at a fair price. We continually work to improve our products’ usability and functionality. We anticipate the needs of our customers and offer add-ons and services to make sure they can meet their business objectives.
Bright Builders reaches out to every client with top-notch support and unsurpassed technical assistance. We have pooled a team of talented and experienced partners and employees—a team that works for you. The team ensures that the products and services that power your site are second-to-none. Our Bright Builders team includes graphic artists, web developers, web marketing experts, technical advisors, personal coaches, and copywriters, all working together to bring you Bright Builders tools and resources.
