WorldWise.net

Founded in 1994 as a broadcast fax company for real estate agents, WorldWise.net transitioned into internet services in 1998 and has operated from the Clarkston, Michigan area since 2003, with sales offices added in Troy and Grand Rapids in 2013. The firm was started by Jerry Kocis and Michael Newcomb and works with small and mid-sized businesses across Michigan, offering a small team of designers and support staff out of its Clarkston office. Over its history it has launched several related ventures, including online business directories, a digital print service, and a traffic school platform, alongside its core web and marketing work. The agency's declared services span website design and WordPress development, search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising (including Google AdWords), content marketing, video production (including drone video), UX/UI design, mobile app development, cybersecurity, and IT managed services. Its designers work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP, and the company has historically bundled design, hosting and marketing into combined packages, such as the OneWEB plan introduced in 2001. Cybersecurity services and government compliance approval were added in 2020, building on earlier computer repair and managed IT support work started in 2008. The company also has a history of email marketing and corporate branding work, reflecting a broader business consulting approach alongside its technical services.
