Design

A picturesque view: Visual design

A high visual aesthetic establishes your credibility and authority in your field. Whether your brand is friendly, professional, space-age, whimsical, or nature-inspired, your website should be an extension of you coupled with an elegant easy-to-use, intuitive interface.

Development

Setting up camp: open source frameworks and third-party integrations

As your organization evolves, you need to be able to change your website along with it. Boxcar builds almost all of its websites on content management systems, usually WordPress. We want to enable our partners to create, publish, and schedule updates. What’s more, our solutions usually use free and open-source which means they will grow and expand as technology changes.
