We make things easy for you by listening, understanding and exceeding all of your expectations.

 

We have worked with many diverse clients over the years, such as Michael Moore, AOL Time-Warner, MGM/UA, CBC Broadcasting, BCE Media, Discreet, and the Fantasia Film Festival. Plank has also enjoyed being the preferred web service and design company of various prestigious New York agencies due to our trademark design skills, technical know-how and experience.

From developing a series of community based websites to his involvement with the Montreal Fringe theatre community, Geoff has been adding to the cultural landscape of the Internet for years. Be prepared for some of Plank's work over the next few years to spring from HIS brain!
