RisingLine, a Web and graphic design company now offers writing and editing to its clients through Gemstone Media, Inc., of Meridian, Idaho. This expansion creates a service package with a single point of contact to clients, reducing project-management time, according to Doug Case, RisingLine’s managing director. “Now clients don’t have to spend time coordinating content and design. It all happens behind the scenes for them.”

The streamlined relationship means RisingLine can provide comprehensive Web development and content services, yet keep costs low for clients. Monelle Smith, writer at Gemstone Media said, “as far as cost goes, we function as a coherent group of freelancers. Clients get the benefit of our experience producing great content, along with RisingLine’s strong history of successful Web 2.0 development, without paying for the overhead of a traditional advertising agency.”

Case emphasized the advantages of the affiliation. “We’re excited about the potential for synergy, since Gemstone Media’s work complements and supports what we do with Web design.”
