About Us
We are a team of passionate Toronto based designers and developers, who work together to create something that is outstanding both functionally and aesthetically.
We have a method that has been proven effective throughout our many years of experience. We like to involve our clients as much as we can throughout the entire process and we are open to feedback from the client at all stages of a project. We like to be available to our clients, in person, by phone or by email or even through Skype.
Every project is broken down into tasks, so that special attention can be given to each element. We utilize state of the art client collaboration tools to share ideas, files as well as prioritizing tasks, ultimately managing the project timeline to ensure your project is delivered on time. We guarantee that the most appropriate team member will be in charge of each task from start to finish and provide regular updates, communication and QA approvals every step of the way.
At Shift8, we really enjoy what we do. That’s the reason why we have such exceptional results.
