Versko Has Launched Its New Website Layout

Versko — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:34:50 +0000

We are very excited to have finally launched our new website design to make it more user friendly and composite then ever!

You’ll see things are looking pretty different around here and it’s all been completely re-coded from the ground up. Versko is now a fully responsive website. So no matter where you are, you can access us easier than ever.

A few of our goals with the new website were to make it faster, easier to navigate for users and update it to current generation standards. Most of all, we wanted to help our clients get to know us better.

If you take a browse around the site I think you’ll get a pretty good idea of who we are and what we do as a company and much more.
