‘corePHP’: custom software and digital marketing since 2000.

Steven Pignataro founded ‘corePHP’ in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 2000 and leads engineering as CTO. His brother Michael joined in 2009 and runs the company as CEO. The same two people since 2009, and the one you speak to is the one accountable for the work.

Values

What we hold ourselves to.

Technology that helps people

The work is not really about websites and applications. It is about what they let people do. We build things that make a difference to the people who end up using them.

Built to a standard

Every client arrives with a different problem. We listen first, build to fit, and hold the result to the standard we would want if we were the ones paying for it.

Straight answers

Big client or small, whatever the industry, you get honest and impartial service, and regular word on where the project actually stands.

Expertise

If you have a problem, we have solved it before.

Steven founded ‘corePHP’ in 2000 to build custom content management systems. It grew into the full-service development and digital marketing firm it is today, serving organizations from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations.

We started as a Joomla! shop and became platform agnostic. We have worked with most of the technology suites in common use, and when we meet one we have not, we work it out quickly.

Website development and digital marketing are needed in every industry, and we have delivered in most of them. Give us a call and we will solve yours too.

How we work

We build it. You own it.

Full source code, the database, the credentials and the documentation, handed over at the end. No license. If we part ways, nothing switches off.

01Scope

We work out what it has to do before anyone estimates it.

02Build

On a staging URL from the first week, so you watch it take shape instead of waiting for a reveal.

03Prove

Tested against real conditions: your data volume, your devices, your load.

04Hand over

Source, credentials and documentation. Yours.
