Who we are?

United Florist Network is a dynamic start-up specializing in providing strategically designed e-commerce websites and online marketing services to retail florists in North America.

The primary focus of United Florist Network is to provide a successful and affordable way for small floral businesses to compete effectively with the large companies that currently dominate the marketplace. By giving local shops access to well-designed, extremely effective web sites, UFN aims to turn the marketplace back in favor of small businesses. The service has a proven record of increased conversions – in large part because of careful design decisions and fine-tuning the checkout flow.

What we can offer you?

United Florist Network prides itself on creating an engaging, creative company culture where analytical thinking is nurtured, and teamwork and effective communication are essential. We are a diverse team who use our various skills and personalities to create great software.

Do you enjoy a nice cold beer or soft drink on a hot summer day? So do we, and our fridge is always stocked.
