We are rebuilding. Join us.

We are rebuilding our site—live at building.seesparkbox.com. Join us, real-time, as the site evolves. It will be ugly at times. Sometimes it will be downright broken. But it will always be transparent and real. You can even check under the hood of the public repo on Github and share your ideas. Crazy, are we? Read why we're doing this.

SmartSite is
more than a term.
It's the way we build.

With Sparkbox, Web-Standards are a given. SmartSites takes it further with careful attention to detail: accessibility, usability, responsiveness, and a focus on messaging.

By the end of 2013, more people will be browsing the web with mobile devices than with desktop computers.* Is your site ready? We can help.

For all devices

Your site is viewed on screen widths ranging from 320 pixels to over 2500 pixels. These are wildly varying sizes, and they’re only getting further apart. SmartSites help achieve an intentional design at all of these resolutions using a concept called Responsive Design.**

For all people

One in three people have a disability that affects their capacity to browse the web (think Parkinson’s or visual impairments). We have the expertise to make sure your site is accessible––and available––to all.

For the long haul

We build sites that are sturdy enough to last, but flexible enough to adapt as your business grows or evolves. SmartSites employ specific metrics to determine whether your site’s decisions are the right ones. The iterative nature of this process means your site will only get smarter over time.
