"In that process, the relationship goes naturally." The strategic shift came with a need for more employees and more space, Harris said. The company moved to a bigger 3,300-square- foot facility in Westborough a year and a half ago and hired four new employees. Five more people will be hired within a year of the launch of a new e-commerce platform, which is currently in development, set for release later this year, Harris said. For now, New Perspective is looking for clients who want to grow their business through inbound marketing, to fit with the new focus. "We're really looking for people who know a great website is a home base for marketing. They're looking to grow their business," Harris said. "You need a great website, and you need a plan – SEO, social, email marketing. That's what inbound marketing allows you to do – to utilize all these tools, to see metrics and analytics in a holistic way and how to drive revenue." - Laura Finaldi Top Web design firms * Ranked by number of local employees as of April 2016 Name Local employees Services Web development?
