Why Airdrie Media?

We provide the services you need at a price that you can afford.

Small businesses today are faced with a dilemma: it can be prohibitively expensive to hire a digital agency to create and manage your internet presence, but the bargain-basement “do-it-yourself” web page services do not offer the marketing and search engine optimization expertise you need to get your pages noticed even if you find a way to build them.

Airdrie Media recognizes this dilemma and offers a solution: using a tiered approach, we will begin by creating what in software development is called the “MVP” or “minimum viable product” — exactly what you really need and nothing more. This way, you can leverage our two decades of experience optimizing sites for the web while keeping your costs to a minimum. For a low monthly maintenance fee we will manage this site for you and you can purchase additional development time as needed to meet your goals.

Jim Briggs, founder

Jim has been specializing in Internet technologies, web design and web development since the late 1990’s. “For me, the Web has always been appealing because it is the intersection between computer technology and communications.” Jim’s prior experience includes the consulting arm of Computer Sciences Corporation (now DXC Technology) where he specialized in information security and Internet, and a nearly twenty-year engagement at biotherapies company CSL Behring. Jim joined CSL Behring as a senior developer for web and, by the time he left the company, was Associate Director of Global Web Applications, leading a team of a dozen developers and contractors, overseeing hundreds of websites and mobile applications.

About the Airdrie Media name and logo

 

 

Airdrie (Air’-dree) Media gets its name from the Airdrie Nature Preserve in Paoli, Pennsylvania, which I am blessed to be able to see from my office window. It is a wonderful, quite place to retreat to and a reminder that the Internet is just there to connect us to the outside world.

The Airdrie Media logo, the acorn, is a symbol of growth (not to mention the great many oaks in the preserve!) and represents the humble beginnings of great things. The acorn also happens to be the logo of my alma mater, but since I do not have an endorsement deal with them I will not mention their name. (You know who you are! Call me!)
