A DIVISION OF PUBLISHING CONCEPTS, LLC

What we provide

Design

The look has to belong to the company. We design against the brand you already have, not a theme we like this month.

Function

A site that only works on a laptop in the office is not finished. Phone, tablet, and desktop are the same product.

Strategy

We ask who actually meets the brand, then choose the channel. Pretty without a reason to exist does not ship.

Care

Launch is the start. We stay on the work — and if something breaks, we diagnose it within 48 hours, on us.

Our approach

We believe in the exchange of ideas. We learn a company well enough to market it as if it were our own — visually clear, functionally serious, and informed by what the numbers actually say.

Services

Seven services. One team through launch.

01

AI integrations

We start with how your team and customers actually work, then add AI only where it removes friction or creates a clear edge. The goal is practical help that fits today’s operations and still makes sense as the company grows.

  • Conversational tools and site assistants built around your content and processes, not a generic chatbot dropped on a page
  • Smart search, recommendations, and personalization that improve with real use
  • AI features inside existing sites, apps, CRM, or LMS rather than a separate system to manage
  • Integrations that stay maintainable and can expand without a full rebuild
02

Web development

We learn the business before we pick the tools. The site has to serve this year’s goals and still make sense when the company is larger.

  • Requirements for now and later, not a template dropped on a host
  • Mobile-friendly from the first layout
  • Search grounded in research
  • Room to scale without a rewrite
03

Mobile apps

New products, and the monthly care that keeps a brand credible after the store listing goes live.

  • Design and build, or maintenance on an app you already have
  • The unglamorous updates that stop a product from going stale
04

Learning systems

eLearning for a workforce, a customer base, or — as with JumpForward — a student portal that had to feel as considered as the public site.

  • Company training and customer education
  • Portals people return to, not a one-time course dump
05

eCommerce

A first storefront or an enterprise catalog. We meet the business at the stage it is actually in.

  • New shops
  • Replatforms and catalog upgrades
06

CRM & data

A simple system of record, or a database wired into marketing automation so campaigns and customers live in one picture.

  • Record management
  • Automation tied to the data you already trust
07

Digital marketing

We start with who interacts with the brand, then show up where those people already are.

  • Channel choice before creative volume
  • Campaigns that can be explained
Work

Selected work

Public engagements. No invented results — just the jobs clients have already put their names on.

JUMPFORWARD

A career hub, not just a website

A public site and a student portal for a career-development startup. The same thinking had to hold for marketing and for the product students actually use.

Kemper Petroleum

Chosen from six St. Louis proposals

A new site on a modest budget, delivered under that budget, and treated by their director of marketing as an extension of the technology staff.

Enterprise data team

Automation stays in the record

Marketing automation for a data-management company, tied into the CRM so campaigns are not a second, unofficial database.

CRM · Automation

the process

Six steps. No mystery between them.

01

Review

A deep dive on the company, the offer, and what done has to mean.

02

Plan

Page by page, against the industry and the people you need to reach.

03

Design

Look and tone, agreed before production code starts.

04

Develop

The design, built with the content that will actually ship.

05

Test

Walked from more than one kind of user, including the impatient one.

06

Launch

Live only after you have signed off on how it looks and how it behaves.

  • Designs cut to your brand
  • A person on the thread
  • Built for the phone first
  • Glitches within 48 hours, on us
  • Architecture that can grow
  • Search based on research

“The important part of this process is finding a company that has the expertise to build a professional website and, in my case, adopt some of the same concepts to a needed student portal. Working with Joe and Olivia, this all came together exceptionally well.”

“PC40 was chosen and I am so happy we did. They came in under budget but delivered more than we expected. They were easy to work with and very professional. They are now an extension of my technology staff.”

Location

St. Louis.
On purpose.

PC40 Interactive is a division of Publishing Concepts, a multimedia house whose customers have run from Fortune 500 companies to early-stage startups for two decades.

Founded in 2006, the studio works with B2B, B2C, and SaaS companies that want the work to look right and hold up after launch. The web keeps changing. Knowing that, and implementing it, is the job.
