      • BOLD IDEAS REQUIRE A BOLD AGENCY

      • OUR APPROACH

        "We aren't a made-to-order agency. When 5ivehat serves you a website or mobile app, we take the time to get to know you and understand your needs and objectives." - Randy Ellis

      • Bring clarity to the surface.

        The best projects perform better when everyone is on the same page.

        Want to get started on the right path to project success?

      • UX

        The reason you have a favorite store is not because of the low prices or convenient location; you go there for the overall experience. We take that same approach with the apps and websites we create. We focus on overall usability, ease of use, and the interaction between the user and product. The result is engagement, social interaction, and sales.

        BRANDING

        Branding is one of the most important ingredients in the success of any business. It tells customers who you are and distinguishes you from your competitors. We strategically pour your identity into the final product in a way that produces unique imaging concepts. These concepts will resonate with your target audience and make you stand out among even the largest crowd.

        MARKETING

        Tap into our innovative digital marketing strategies. Like Apple, we think different when it comes to inventing strategies to meet our clients' objectives–whether marketing a new mobile application or social network, helping a small business grow, or expanding the market share of a well-known brand. Our digital marketing strategies are unique like the name 5iveHat. And we always produce results.

        APPS

        From a sketch on a napkin to a full-blown app, we can bring your mobile app idea to life. 5iveHat has proven experience in the world of app design, app development, and testing. Our staff includes seasoned Apple and Android developers that work closely with our award-winning visual designers and usability experts.
