ABOUT US
Driven by Values, United by Success
Our name, Oostas, is derived from the Turkish word "Usta" which means "master craftsman," a phrase that has resonated both with who we aim to be and who we aim to serve. We’re all about helping small businesses reach their big goals. By providing exceptional value through our comprehensive web design and marketing services, we’ll help you make a strong impact online.
Our Mission
We remove the headache of online marketing for small businesses by creating marketing plans that are effortless for the client and fruitful for their business.
Our vision
We exist to see small businesses achieve optimal visibility online through marketing plans that produce positive, measurable results.
Our Core Values
Your Customers:
Marketing is about your customer, not your business. We encourage our clients to focus their marketing on what their customers are looking for, not necessarily what they want to say about their business.
The Right Visibility:
Just getting more visibility for your business isn’t the challenge; it’s about getting the right visibility, which is why we work hard to target our client's specific target audience.
Marketing Baked In:
Marketing strategies should be baked in, not sprinkled on top. Lasting results come from marketing efforts that are infused into every marketing avenue, which is why we take a holistic approach to marketing.
Trust via Transparency:
Let us take the lead to deliver your desired outcome. We're transparent about results along the way through regular touch points and ask you to trust our expertise.
Measurable Results
We realize that marketing without results is not worth it, so every plan we offer includes a full disclosure means to easily measure the results we achieve for our clients.
Attention to Detail
We understand the importance of details in marketing and therefore utilize software that enables us to consistently produce quality workmanship.
Comprehensive Communication
We ensure our clients understand all expectations upfront through free consultations, written proposals, straightforward service agreements, and a hassle-free sales process.
Client Care
We value relationships with our clients; therefore, we contact all clients every quarter to review their services and offer any input we have.
Our Team
We love our clients, and you’ll enjoy working with our team, too. Why? We pay impeccable attention to detail, communicate clearly, and are just an overall cool group of people who love what we do.
