Alaska Wild Berry Products, a client of ours from long ago, returns to the NextGem family. We've worked closely with them over the last three months (including a site visit in Alaska) to redesign and re-construct their website and online marketing plans. New features include a growing education section (to promote search engine indexing), more compelling copywriting and imagery, a bulk email campaign to re-establish relationships with previous customers, and pay-per-click marketing.

Launch of new corporate name, look, and website
NextGem launches its new name, logo, website, and corporate identity, incorporating WebHostWorks.net and our e-commerce platform Mercantool.
They say the cobbler's kids have no shoes — and the web designers have no site! Well, after unspeakable embarassment, NextGem (previously WebHostworks.net) is proud to offer its modern, standards-based, fun and informative website.
(You can still refer to our old name — and mail and payments can be made to either the old or new business name. No stress!)
Announcing our partnership with Easystreet
We are proud to announce a major upgrade to our infrastructure which will be completely invisible to you. We have contracted with Easystreet Online Services, our favorite authentic big small business, to provide a variety of deep system-level services and watch our backs. By relying on their much larger capacity and coverage, we have vastly improved our solidity of service to you.
How does this impact your experience? Not at all. We just wanted to brag about how much we like Easystreet.
Relocation to Canada
Icy Canada, land of polar bears and ice sheets? Well, Vancouver at least, land of warm summers and long, drippy winters. In short, exactly like Portland where we came from.
Our US customers can continue to use our Portland mailing address and phone number indefinitely. That saves you international charges and honestly, who keeps $0.63 stamps around?
For the convenience of our Portland area clients, we return for meetings and creative sessions approximately every 6 weeks or as needed.
