AMB Solutions

Based in Scripps Ranch, San Diego, AMB Solutions is a small boutique web firm founded in 1999 by Annette Bernier. The team, made up of designers, programmers, writers, social media specialists and SEO practitioners, works with start-ups building a new web identity as well as established companies looking to add eCommerce capability to an existing site. While the company maintains a San Diego office for client meetings, most work is carried out remotely, and the client base appears to consist of small and mid-sized businesses seeking website design, marketing and online sales support. The agency's service list covers web design, programming, SEO, ecommerce setup and integration, social media marketing, email marketing, pay-per-click, and general internet marketing and project management. Its stated design approach follows five points: establishing quality design tied to a defined web strategy and brand goals; creating an identifiable product message so visitors understand a site's purpose from the first page; prioritizing usability and quick loading speed across desktop, tablet and phone; applying search optimization so visitors can find their way through a well-organized site; and maintaining clarity by translating a client's own products and values into clear on-site messaging. Work is showcased through client site examples on the company's website rather than through published case studies or metrics.
