Start from the beginning

11. Ah, the power of the web! You just moved from our newsletter to our website. Imagine funneling your clients in the same way! Contact us today to learn how you can bring thousands of viewers to your website.

12. If the grinch stole our office computers while we were sleeping, we would just stay home the next day and work in our pajamas! (Yes, we do have a disaster recovery and pandemic plan for your perusal.)

13. Our designers create your custom home page from scratch. They don't use templates or old designs, therefore each website is it's own piece of original artwork.

14. We have a black velvet Elvis painting (Velvis). It boosts morale.

15. We are proud to have 12 local banks and credit unions as clients.

16. Our employees have lengthy in-depth political debates - daily. In fact, we had a spirited Inauguration party last month and we were quite impressed with the amount of presidential knowledge our team members knew.

17. Not only do we design and program websites, we physically colocate and host them as well. With complete control over the hosting environment, the possibilities for our clients are endless.

18. We have a "bat phone". If something goes awry a Systems Administrator is notified immediately. (Please note that on St. Patrick's Day there may be a small delay).

19. Tortus played a hefty role in rent.com's $415 Million acquisition by eBay in 2005. 

20. Three of our employees learned English as a second language. We can translate any site to Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese or Dutch!

21. Amongst our designers, we have the following talents: award winning photographer, watercolor artist, costume designer, quilter, published poet, and some amazing doodles.

22. Many of our Ecommerce clients have taken their "bricks and mortar" stores and replaced them with online stores. Some have out performed their existing stores within the first year!

23. A sign hanging in our Production room reads, "Be brilliant at the basics"... we are!

24. On an average day our mail server receives about 200,000 emails. 150,000 of those are rejected because they are blatant spam/malware/viruses, that's almost 5 Million emails a month!

25. Create your own 25 random things today! Technically, if you have read our 25 things, it's your turn to carry on the chain!
