Web Design

e-Commerce

In some industries, companies are making a sale at a very sensitive time for its customers, and the monument and memorial industry is one of the most prevalent examples. But one thing remains the same regardless of the industry: customers want to do online research before committing to a purchase. This may be even more true for the monument industry since clients just lost a loved one and likely value privacy more than usual.

Having an inviting website that reflects a monument company’s compassion is important in making visitors feel at ease. Another important aspect is making them feel like they have a partner and a guide to help find the right monument for their deceased. Fram Monument of the Baltimore-Washington area was looking for a website that did just this, and worked with Web Interactive Technologies to design and build their site.

A common hangup for those organizing a burial is finding the rules and regulations of the cemetery they are interested in. Fram Monument recognizes this and has a clear area where visitors can find their cemetery.
