Back40 Design Group is an Edmond-owned business that directly
affects the livelihood of more than 700+ local business owners. Whether they
come to Back40 for an enhanced brand, a new website, or an effective magazine
ad – each business is reliant upon only 12 full time staff members to produce
the products that will affect their company’s staff and families for years to
come. That 700 to 12 ratio is staggering. By providing innovative ideas, Back40
and the Edmond Outlook help companies earn countless dollars, pumping the local
economy with ROI, creating jobs, and securing the future of our community.
Brightly-colored thank you cards sprinkle staff bulletin boards
and gooey sweet emails forward from clients to the group each week as another
site launches. Grateful clients drop by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, or leave
baskets of goodies to thank everyone for their hard work.
A New Year generally offered up a New Perspective. As we approach New
Years Eve, businesses and individuals alike typically take stock of the
last year by asking the age-old question: “How’d we do?” Well at Back40, we decided to take that question to the streets – asking our customers’ opinions in a phone survey last month.
In honor of each
staff member’s pursuit of perfection throughout our last 11 years in business –
I offer these words, directly from our clients, with a thankful heart.

found Back40 on the Internet. I contacted several other firms too, but Back40
was set apart because of the way JR explained everything a lot better than the
other guys. I felt more comfortable with him. I like how JR goes through all
the details and doesn’t leave me hanging. I don’t think it can be better. To
me, the service was perfect.” – Search Engine Optimization and Website
