Expansion
In 2005, ITS gained a partner in order to expand from Web Design and Flash Animation, to full on Web Development, including PHP programming, database site development with MySQL, and advanced applications utilizing advanced Flash Action-Script programming.
The short of it, the partnership was formed so that we could provide any type of web application that the small to medium size business in the Brevard County area might require. Art does the client interaction for highly personalized service, along with design work, coding, etc., while his partner begins each project with his unparalleled gift of graphic design, with each design created totally custom and relevant for that particular type of business or organization. He also does the more advanced CSS, and custom progamming language applications.
The Mission Statement of ITS

The passion of how we got started
The following explains how we acquired our passion for graphic design, and what lead to ITS being formed.
Art Hansen, was first exposed to the digital graphics industry in 1995, when he agreed to the task of taking a company called New Vision Digital whom developed embroidery software for the athletic apparell industry, most notably, the Golf Industry, and creating & implementing a marketing plan to turn the company around.
New Vision after losing their main client to a corporate merger, was faced with a significant 80% loss of business each month, so Art Hansen was hired to write and implement a marketing plan to bring the company back "into the black", and this was completed within a 4 month period.
Two years later in 1997, Hansen was hired by another company that was called Digitech of Lakeland. Digitech was an Information Technology company focused on creating computer Networks.
They asked Art to develop a market for them in the Wide format graphics printing business. They had purchased an Encad 50 inch wide printer, so that Digitech could become a graphics development and printing company for corporate posters, tradeshows, artist renderings, etc.
This was completed by Art within 5 months after he helped the company gain the exposure, breadth and depth of the market needed, from clients including Publix, Florida Tile, etc. Within a year, Digitech left the IT business alltogether and changed their name to Poster Perfect, and has been growing ever since.
In 2001, Art developed a severe medical condition, and faced with a long term healing process, which restricted him to the home mostly, he began a large scale home study program into Web Design. This education was complemented by his 1991 acquired BS degree in Marketing, BS degree in Business Administration, both obtained from UCF, along with a "sub-minor" in Engineering, if you will.
By 2003, Hansen, was prepared to obtain his first client, which was done by his first sales cold call of the day. That customer's site was for a horse boarding stable business in Lakeland. The rest is history. (pardon the cliche´:)
Thank you for taking the time to learn about ITS, and we look forward to providing you wonderful customer service.
