Business development and web services.
We help businesses establish new relationships and present their services professionally online. Explore our business development work, web services and website portfolio.
Research & Business Development
Develop relationships with the businesses you want to work with.
We research companies relevant to your services, identify their decision-makers and contact them on your behalf. When there is mutual interest, we make a direct introduction and remain involved in the relationship and communication that follow.
For a contractor, this may mean researching capital managers, making contact under the contractor's business name and managing communication as the relationship develops.

Common questions
Send a messageHow does CIV identify businesses to contact?
We research companies relevant to your services and the types of business relationships you want to develop. We then identify the decision-makers to approach.

We contact businesses on your behalf, using your company's name to introduce your services. When there is interest in speaking further, we connect you directly.
What happens after an introduction?
We continue managing the relationship and supporting communication between your company and its business partners. The introduction is part of an ongoing business development engagement.
Can you work with an existing website?
CIV provides both website redesign and maintenance. We can discuss which approach suits your current site and what your business needs.
Can you help with a new or existing domain?
Yes. We can help you choose and reserve a new domain, or assist with connecting or transferring an existing one.
Can you set up business email for multiple staff members?
Yes. We set up individual email addresses at your business domain for the staff members who need them.
What happens after my website launches?

How does search engine optimization differ from AI search optimization?
Search engine optimization helps services such as Google understand your website and its content. AI search optimization focuses on making your business information clear to tools such as ChatGPT. Both support how customers find and learn about your services online.

We discuss pricing during the first conversation, once we understand the services your business needs.
