You're In Business

Pleiades ProjectWorks is a verifiable digital agency in Boise, Idaho, offering web design and marketing services. While the business is legitimate and has demonstrable clients (e.g., Portsche's Fine Jewelry) and internal tools (Electra app), the submission itself is of very poor quality. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' are factually false, and the term 'marketcap' is misused for a private service business. The project demonstrates local utility but lacks the scale, innovation, or reach suggested by the hyperbolic submission data.

Project Details

Description
Pleiades Projectworks is a digital design and marketing firm based in Boise, Idaho. We specialize in creating custom websites that reflect and articulate both new and established brands that want to create a presence online. We work with multiple platforms such as inventory management systems, ecommerce providers, and online workspace solutions in order to serve as a one-stop-shop for all your online needs. Our main goal is to create a website for you using best practices of SEO and UX (search engine optimization and user experience), so that the website not only looks good but organically attracts attention. We then serve our clients with further SEO, Google Ads strategy, and marketing strategy, while training on-site staff to work with the changes that a move to internet marketing requires. At Pleiades, we design around our clients. That means that nothing is out of the box; not our websites, our strategies, or our solutions. It also means removing the cloud of jargon around what we're doing, so that our clients know that they're paying a fair price for the services we offer. We are happy to teach our clients about everything we're doing to raise awareness of their brand and attract customers to their business. Pleiades Projectworks was founded by two bootcamp graduates who became fed up with the pomp in the tech industry, and who wanted to do new business and technology the old fashioned way.
