It has been designed to promote alpaca farms, service providers and other alpaca industry participants. Alpaca Connect is a fast growing global community driven marketplace and research center that is your gateway to everything alpaca.

Seeking to become the industry leader for information, tools and marketing avenues for its members.

We prepared all graphics and graphical layout, custom Drupal programming, did all site testing and refinement, and registered the site while focussing on search engine optimization. We created a site for them with a warm colour palette that is uncluttered and functional.
