Chosen for their work in the Online Commerce MITX Award category.


Port City Web, LLC, a full service website and eCommerce design, development, hosting and online marketing company has been selected as a finalist in the 2007 Annual MITX Awards. Held annually by the Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange, the MITX Awards recognize excellence in the creation of interactive technologies designed, produced, or developed in New England.

Port City Web was chosen for their outstanding work in the Online Commerce MITX Award category for their work on the Harbor Candy Shop Online Commerce website at www.HarborCandy.com.

Harbor Candy Shop engaged Port City Web to re-brand the company's website to better reflect the uniqueness of the candy company, and to implement a more user-friendly shopping cart. Port City Web designed a completely new website and implemented a search engine-friendly shopping cart that improved the user experience. The result was an immediate increase in online sales, and now the nomination for the 2007 MITX Award for Online Commerce.

"We are honored to be selected as a finalist for the 2007 MITX Awards for Online Commerce," said Erik Crago, President and CEO of Port City Web. "I think this is a strong reflection and endorsement of the talented staff at Port City Web. It's also nice to be recognized by MITX for delivering this high level of product to our customer."
