About Preation
Empowering Small Businesses
Our mission is to empower small business owners and entrepreneurs by offering cost-effective marketing software that allows them to grow their businesses online.
In early 2009 a small team of web marketers and developers started working on solving a big problem. The problem is that most small business websites don't produce any marketing results for the businesses they serve. To make matters worse, there were no affordable marketing tools that helped small business owners fix the problem, ie: acquire more leads and customers from their websites. So we built Eden Platform, an easy-to-use lead generation system for small business websites.
Building marketing software for small businesses is what we love to do. You may have noticed that we've done it before.
The Preation Team
We’re proud to call Durham, North Carolina our home. We enjoy building easy-to-use software products for our customers around the world from the comfort of seasonally mild weather, reasonable traffic and commutes, and lots of green foliage.
