Xantek was founded in 2004 to develop emerging internet technologies. Our initial focus was primarily on Voice over IP solutions, to offer small businesses access to advanced PBX feature previously out of reach due to the high cost of specialized hardware. While working with small businesses, we found, time and again, that they had serious problems with their website presence. Either their website was not generating traffic, or they were getting visitors who did not buy anything. Either way they did not have the tools to analyze the situation, and often did not have the skills to implement the needed changes. Since our personnel already possessed significant experience in web development, we began to fill this need to help smaller businesses manage their internet marketing.
