Here's a little prior history of us and our work:
Throughout time, we have helped build a company from the very start with just designing a logo then following other services. Two (2) years later, the traffic of that company's website was said by the hosting company that it hit about a million or more visits a day on the front page... while in the main portion of the site hit over 440,000 visitors.
Even though, the traffic was high... it caused the server to overload; which knocked off every website using the same web server. This was done only by the mass promotion that he constructed. Before Facebook added and took away alot of features, we built a site bigger in feature data size... where artists, djs and producers could all come together and develop great products. Besides websites, VI4V specialize in creating mobile applications for musicians and companies of all sizes. We are always thinking of new develops for the music/ television industry. BEING NONE OF A KIND & SUCCESSFUL STARTS HERE!
