CIS Agency

What CIS Agency does

CIS Agency (legal entity: Corporate Image Services LLC) is a Wix-centric digital marketing and web design agency founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hudsonville, Michigan, with a secondary office in Austin, Texas. The firm designs, develops, and maintains websites for small businesses and nonprofit organizations, primarily in West Michigan but increasingly on a national basis through the Wix platform. Its service portfolio spans web design, graphic design, social media management, content writing, online advertising (Google and Facebook), branding, logo design, local SEO, reputation management, email and hosting, and ongoing Wix support, delivered largely as bundled monthly retainers.

The underlying technology stack is built on the Wix platform family (Wix Studio, Wix ADI, Traditional Editor, and the Velo open development platform) and is augmented by third-party partner integrations including Semrush for SEO, Yext for local search, Jobber for field services, GoDaddy Pro, and Zoho Desk for support ticketing. CIS Agency holds the Wix Legend Partner designation (the highest Wix agency tier), VELO Partner status, and Wix Studio certification, and operates on enterprise-grade infrastructure that is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 compliant. Internally developed IP includes 100+ custom Wix templates and a custom forms module with CRM and email marketing integration.

The business model combines one-time project fees (website builds, branding, logo design) with recurring monthly revenue from hosting, support, SEO, social media management, and online advertising retainers. Standardized packages, such as the Platinum tier at $499 setup plus $249/month, are the primary recurring-revenue vehicle, with a $150 referral credit program driving bottom-of-funnel customer acquisition. Customer acquisition also runs through an instant quote tool on the website, an active content marketing blog, organic and paid social channels (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn), and third-party directories (Clutch, Expertise.com, Upcity, Alignable, BBB). The company is privately held and independent, with no disclosed external investment.
