From the "Swipe File": Nextiva

Many companies are afraid of having their homepage be too long, which hearkens back to an outdated way of thinking about the web (remember our out-of-date perceptions? 👆). But not Nextiva. 

Nextiva is a phone system for businesses large and small and their website is as forward-thinking as their 21st-century communication services. 

Their page is made for scrolling and their design is simple, with big, readable fonts, sharp blue accent colors, and light greys and whites for contrast. Check out our swipe file for more reasons we love this super sleek site.
