About Us
The first thing we want you to know about Commexis is our commitment. We want to be your partner as we help you take your business forward. We’re always working to earn your business.
The science and art of marketing and advertising
Combining those are part of the dance that makes Commexis successful and pretty fun to work with!
The next thing you want to know about us is our accessibility and experience. With two locations in historic, downtown Haddonfield, Commexis thinks big, but enjoys to work in a small town, main street setting.
20 years of actively participating as pioneers in the field of digital marketing offers our clients unique benefits. We’ve learned from our success and our failures over the last two decades. Consider us a big laboratory of hard-won experience … experience that you get to tap into.
We began building websites when most businesses had never considered their potential as a business and marketing channel. We’ve helped our customers launch businesses, brands and products online, when no one else had done it. Most importantly, we bring solutions based on real-world knowledge. And we stay at the peak of our technological game by constantly challenging ourselves to be on the edge.
Knowing the difference
is what makes our design and creative viewpoint so valuable to our clients.
We bring the same long history to your design needs. We know that fads, fonts and flourishes will come and go. Depending on your product or service, it may make great sense for your business to follow those trends. We also know some businesses need to stand out from their competition without the flash and glamour. It all depends on what you’re “selling.” Our creative helps your business be what you want it to be, but more importantly what your customers want to buy. Knowing the difference is what makes our design and creative viewpoint so valuable to our clients.
