Our Approach and Philosophy

311 Media Group was founded primarily to assist non profit organizations and small businesses use tools and technology formerly reserved to big business and large institutions. We are primarily a consultancy and do not employ full time staff, allowing us to provide cost effective solutions while still providing a wealth of Web and Interactive Media experience to your project.

 Our long time involvement with web development has allowed us to build an extensive network of experts in every area of web design and development process from user experience to project management to graphic design to web application programming. Our team of experienced professionals and customer focused orientation ensures the success of your project.
