About the Whole Brain Group Web Design and Development Company
The Whole Brain Group was founded by Marisa Smith in 2002. Initially named DataSmith Consulting, we rebranded in 2007 when we grew from a one-woman operation with a corporate headquarters at a local coffee shop to a fully-staffed office in Ann Arbor with our own coffee maker!
Like our shiny new appliances and swanky IKEA furnishings, our team members are full of energy and very colorful! Our left-brained “nerds” complement our right-brained “creative types” — forming a Whole Brain web design and social media nerve center in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor.
Over the years, we established a presence in Michigan by providing custom web-based software for academic institutions and businesses. With the introduction of our AccreditStation® product, we began to expand our reach beyond Michigan, and have now gained a national reputation among research institutions as the leading provider of accreditation management and automation software.
But you can’t squash our inner entrepreneurs… we love to apply our experience to other people’s business challenges! In addition to web applications, we’ve added social media coaching & training, and mobile application development to our bag of tricks — helping people grow their businesses with the power of the internet and other time-saving technologies so we can all have more abundance in our lives.
The Whole Brain Group is 100% woman-owned and is HUBZone Certified.
