Legitify

As the founder of Legitify, I continue to focus on business development and evolution.
During 2007 we created Legitify Studio, a hosted website and media publishing platform. While our core business is still designing and producing websites in Legitify Studio, during 2009 we are also working on custom web applications and digital content/ marketing projects.
Our professional services involve a unique blend of collaboration and production. Our digital media publishing tools inspire creation and simplify publishing.
