Bornfight is a digital innovation company that combines business strategy with technology. We create progress by designing and developing custom software, digital products, mobile applications, advanced websites, blockchain technology, and interactive solutions.
This is the part where companies usually write a short intro about their values and culture, but we won’t write about it. We have a video!
Now back to the main topic.
WordPress has been our CMS of choice as it offers an unmatched level of customization which enables us to develop really advanced websites for our clients and partners. We’ve built a wide variety of different websites on top of WordPress that work great, look amazing and are fully focused on maximizing user experience and achieving client’s goals.
Here are just a fraction of custom websites we developed with WordPress:
- Vera Wang
- GETZ
- Manhattan School of Music
- Mercury Processing Services International
- Simple Life
- Golden Center Apartments
