Incorporated in 2002, Luminys, Inc. is a technology company that provides secure cloud-based services, web design, and technology consulting services.
Our mission is to help small and medium-sized businesses intelligently leverage technology to increase capacity and reduce or control IT costs. Our approach is open. We want our customers to be in control, to know all their passwords, understand their systems, to have an easy and cost effective disaster recovery plan, and to be able to make informed decisions.
Our services fall into three categories: LumiPortal, our cloud-based document sharing service; web design services; and technology consulting services.
Our LumiPortal cloud service supports document sharing, contacts, calendars, and email management. LumiPortal can be accessed from the LumiPortal domain (e.g., you.lumiportal.com), or from your own domain name (e.g., extranet.myname.com). Sharing documents through LumiPortal is a huge win: you can securely traverse huge document libraries in your office and on the road, with a few people or an global sales force. Shared contacts and calendars give you a way to keep track of people and coordinate schedules. The enterprise-class email services can be accessed from your mobile phone or any other email client, and includes custom spam settings, auto-replies, and more. To learn about LumiPortal and secure document sharing, please visit www.lumiportal.com.
Our customers frequently request our help on web site designs. In designing websites, we identify various audiences, determine the desired look and feel (curvy, rounded, edgy), colors, imagery, navigation, copy, search engine optimization (SEO), and ease of maintenance. A website is a serious investment, and is often the first opportunity to establish credibility and a connection with a client. When a visitor comes to your website, you have anywhere from 1/2 to 2 seconds to give them an impression of who you are.
In designing a website we have a number of techniques we like to use. We carefully construct a CSS-based menu bars that are optimized for search engines and extremely elegant for end users. This takes time and must be pixel-perfect for cross-browser compatibility, but once constructed right becomes a great foundation for the entire site to be built upon. We also like to spend a lot of time selecting photos and integrating them into the design. Visitors to your site will connect with pictures of happy people engaged with your product or service, and this means more than just a stock photo of a friendly service rep answering a phone.
Being a cloud service company, we have extensive expertise in security, systems architecture, database design, scalability, software development, and more. We are frequently consulted on how to streamline business processes, purchasing decisions, network architectures, managing information, and engineering management.
Luminys is not a network administration company and not a reseller. When we provide technology assessments or take on projects, we are neutral, open, engaging and we share what we see to be all viable solutions along with a structured analysis of the pros and cons, and risks and costs.
We have customers in insurance, legal, electrical, HVAC, medical, finance, and architectural industries. We also have a number of non-profit and foundation customers that have limited budgets and serve critical needs, especially in the downward economy.
We do a lot to help our community, and you can help us. Sign up for our newsletter for hints and tips (usually once a month), or follow us on Facebook. And be sure to friend us. You can never have too many friends.
Luminys, Inc. is a California (C) Corp. headquartered in Irvine, California.
