475 Post: Brian Forth’s Talk

Mr. Brian Forth is an entrepreneur, founder and CEO of SiteCrafting, a Tacoma based website design and app development firm. He is Tacoma former 5th grade teacher who built websites with his then students for other grades. He left the teaching career once he realized that his entrepreneurship sense couldn’t be restricted to a classroom. Mr. Forth shared his employment bad experience in North Carolina but praised Disneyland as employer for his training to deal with customers.As a matter of fact 90% of Mr. Forth current work is referral. 

According to Mr. Forth the way you present the truth to others is a key to success. Our guest illustrated this point by presenting his company’s pipeline. His company is well known for its good training of employees. It survived the dot.com bust because it’s small. It is today in 3 locations: Spokane, Seattle, and Tacoma. However, people think serious businesses are located in Seattle; business in Tacoma is for fun. Now that many people are able to design website SiteCrafting takes also into account apps and web mobile development. The company has already built some apps such the winery tour app, the winery kiosk is next. However,  app’s biggest issue is that it’s a code that needs to be updated often and customized to devices.
