Croft Interactive was born in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis — a moment when businesses needed new ways to survive and stand out. In June 2009, Colin M. Croft founded the company in Illinois, blending his Film Production training from SIUC with deep IT experience to support local entrepreneurs entering the digital frontier.
Back when YouTube was still “new” and video marketing was exploding, Colin poured every dollar into cameras, lighting, and audio gear. He built eCommerce sites for eager small business owners and produced polished videos that helped them become early leaders on the web. That spirit of creativity and technical precision still defines Croft Interactive today.
From 2009 to 2012, Croft Interactive focused on customizing open‑source eCommerce platforms like Zen Cart and Ubercart while producing high‑quality video content for early online marketing campaigns. By mid‑2012, the company shifted from video production to software development and 3D modeling. The client list became more selective, but the projects grew significantly in scale and impact. In 2021, Croft Interactive contributed to the development of a commercial shipping tool that was later acquired by a global logistics software company. And then COVID hit — accelerating the need for modern, interactive digital experiences and pushing the company further into immersive 3D and advanced web technologies.
The web changes how we do business, and business changes how we use the web. Wherever that balance lands, we’re here to help you navigate it with confidence.
