We partner to
serve you better Partner Services

Partner Services

For Users' Sake is a unique design agency that works with Partner Services - copywriters, photographers, social media specialists and more. Our founder, Kiersten P. Mosley, personally verifies their reputation and ensures they have the experience to work with our clients. When a new project starts, a team leader is responsible for gathering the necessary Partner Services and overseeing the project, but we're all here to help you put your best foot forward.

Why Partnering Matters

Many agencies provide "one-stop shopping", but as they grow they need more staff, resulting in additional wages and increased operational costs such as office rent and utilities. At For Users' Sake, we want to provide great service that's affordable. We are structured similar to a co-op where each Partner Service works within a design team on projects, but remotely from their own business. We do not outsource. We do not send our work overseas. We are not trying to increase our margins. We partner locally and work remotely to reduce our costs so we can provide you the best solutions without the big agency price tag

Our Partners

Each of our Partners has their own successful business. We are grateful to them for sharing their expertise and honoured to include them in our list of Partner Services.

Development

That Guy Your Cousin Knows

That Guy Your Cousin Knows, Web Hosting & Development

Kiersten P. Mosley personally knows the 'guys' behind That Guy Your Cousin Knows and For Users' Sake is very please to have them as a Partner Service for Web Hosting and WordPress Development.

That Guy Your Cousin Knows was created on the basis of filling a need for secure, high-grade hosting and other tech-related requirements for internal projects. As extremely tech-savvy individuals, we were adamant concerning what we would need for our own businesses to be successful in an online landscape. Essentially, we were unable to find the services with the analytics, security and customization we envisioned for our own websites and services, so we created it. We’ve spent an incredible amount of time and effort fine-tuning and improving our ability to maintain and update websites to a point that we felt it just made sense to begin scaling and offering the service to our close allies and business partners [like For Users' Sake]. We work exclusively with WordPress-powered websites, which allows us to manage everything from security, design, performance, analytics seamlessly with endless possibilities for meeting our clients’ variable needs.
