Virtual Rt285 Business & Service Listings of Colorado

Welcome to Virtual Rt285 - a one stop online location for surfers to locate businesses & services along the 285 Corridor. Of course you do not have to be right on Route 285 to list with us. From Western Jefferson County to Park County is our target but our goal is to list all great businesses in the area. The purpose of the site is to present information about our various and outstanding businesses in the mountain communities all over the Great State of Colorado.

As a business you will be able to list your Company, Business or Services with a photo, brief description of what you do along with contact information, links to an existing site if you have one, and email. The cost is $49.99 per year. We will also be offering banner ads if you'd rather go that route. We will also provide graphic design services if you need a banner ad created. You are not required to sign up for Rt285.com but members that do will be able to utilize our social network feature. A place to post and connect to other users, post comments, photos and more. Membership also allows you to post FREE ads in our classifed section.

The site is still under development which is why we are making the limited time offer to give free advertising to select businesses. If you are interested in having a free listing just drop us a line: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Space is limited.

With technology now a days important things get lost online. Like how family oriented your business may be, or the pride and hard work you've put into your business, and the passion and creativity you have labored on to succeed. Our mission is to help the only way we know how, by showcasing your business and getting you greater exposure for all your hard work online. Rt285.com is also a labor of love, for us. We really do enjoy putting your ad together for you and working with you to make sure you are pleased with the results. We succeed if you succeed.

We keep our money in the local economy, we love the people and of course appreciate how fortunate we are to live here. So while there may be a lot of cutting edge geeky stuff powering this web site, at the core are two passionate, down to earth helpful people who wish to use what we know to help you reach potential clients or customers through the power of the internet. We are always an email or phone call away to answer any questions you may have, fix any issues, or just to shoot the proverbial. Aside from a love for creating web sites and marketing, we'd love to help our neighbors and the businesses they own or frequent succeed online. With a cutting edge website using the latest technologies and techniques we can do that. You can read more about the technology & techniques we use on our blog: 285 Creative www.285creative.com. We share tons of FREE information you can apply to your existing website or if you intend to make one. 285 Creative is a Consultancy but we do not charge for information you can find yourself online. We only charge when we are hired on to fix an existing site if the technology is overwhelming, if you hire us to build you a new site, or if you aren't seeing results from your marketing & advertising. In the mean time we encourage you to have a look at www.285creative.com

For ad's in the directory we will design your graphic for you. All you have to do is supply us with your existing photos, logos or graphics. If you already have an image, great! Just make sure it's 300x300. We of course will email you all the specs and what we need for content, but we want to take the worry out of the design process for you. Also, if you choose to list with us in the form of a banner ad, once you approve the graphic it is yours to do with as you see fit. Meaning, you can take the banner to another web site if they will run it for you. You are not bound to just using the graphics we make for you on Rt285.com exclusively. Again, helping you in the long run helps us and we are happy to do so. 

As mentioned, you do not have to sign up for Rt285.com but it does unlock additional features. What signing up does is give you access to our 285 Social Network. Also you do have to sign up and be a member of Rt285.com in order to place a FREE classified section. We did that to cut down on the inevitable & dreaded spam. Once you sign up you will be able to see the areas you will need in order to place your FREE classified ad. We will be diligent on keeping spam out of here but if you see something that doesn't belong, let us know. For those of you who are tech savvy and would like to help out with the site, drop us a line and let us know. We use JOOMLA to power the site. If you don't know what that is, it's ok - the geeks do. 

We develop LIVE meaning from time to time you may see things here, disappear, then come back. It's also because we want your feedback, suggestions and opinions to help us make a better site for you! Above all we want you to see us as just average folks with a helpful web site. We are unorthodox and far from stuffy, mainly because we have a blast doing what we do. We want to share that with you. All too many times people end up frustrated with their web sites. We want to help you get the most out of your site and have it finally WORK for you instead of you always working on your site in the hopes to see results. AND, we try to make it enjoyable for you too. We are serious about what we do but have a lot of fun putting it into action.  

Watch us grow and feel free to lend a hand if you like. Input is always appreciated. If you have any questions or wish to share your thoughts and ideas, please drop us a message.

Thank you for visiting and for considering listing with Rt285.com!
