About Evolv
(From www.evolv.com) "Throughout time, I have adapted my life and career to the world around me, always progressing forward in the natural manner in which we grow, learn and seek. That is how Evolv came into existence — because the web and its technology are changing so fast, we MUST evolve our business around it. I also have found that most small businesses cannot afford the corporate rates offered by larger web companies, and because Evolv is a small company with low overhead costs, we can work with most small business budgets yet offer a more personable and quality experience.

"My name is Steffi Rausch and I am Evolv's sole owner, web designer & developer for over 10 years. My background comes from the marriage of a Math Education degree and a strong familial Art background. My ability to teach clients as well as manage and organize projects on tight deadlines comes from years of experience in various realms of the industry including education, online messaging solutions, and newspaper production."
