SiteCrafting among Inner City 100 winners

SiteCrafting has been ranked 41st on Initiative for a Competitive Inner City and Bloomberg BusinessWeek's 2010 Inner City 100 list of the fastest-growing inner city companies in the United States.

"The goal is to contribute to our communities because they are the reason we are able to do business," said Brian Forth, president of SiteCrafting. "We are eager to continue growing and adding strength to our city, and are inspired to see so many companies doing the same."
SiteCrafting is a Web site design and Web application development company that specializes in custom Web-based solutions for mid- to large-size businesses, counties and municipalities. The company has been headquartered in Tacoma since 1995.

Collectively, the top 100 inner city businesses employ 10,700 employees and have created more than 6,300 new jobs between 2004 and 2008.

To qualify for the Inner City 100 list, companies were required to have at least 51 percent of their operations located in an economically distressed urban area; have at least 10 full-time employees; and a five-year operating sales history that includes at least $200,000 in revenue in the first year of consideration, an increase in year five sales over year four sales, and fifth-year sales of at least $1 million.
