How did you get your name? What is a 'Strongback'?

Our name is derived from the ship building industry. In days of old, shipwrights would build their wood boats on sturdy frames what were very solid, and very level. These frames would be built typically out of straight grained solid wood timbers and aligned lenghtwise down the hull. They would be aligned perfectly square, and level with the ground. This was called the Strongback. A shipwright would build multiple boats on the strongback, always taking care to keep the strongback level and square before starting on the next one.
Use that as a metaphor for our business. We will be straight and level with you, and help you launch your projects out into the public, and focus on delivering a quality project every time.
