On March 20, 2012 we had the great pleasure of celebrating with Dharma Merchant Services as they commemorated their 5th year anniversay at The HUB in San Francisco.  Earthsite's team worked diligently leading up to the event, along with the founders of Dharma Merchant Services Alexia and Jeff Marcous, to launch a new website for the company.  The goal of the new website was to maintain the branding of the original site while bringing the technology up to date with an easy to maintain content management system, directory and client support pages.  

Dharma (pronounced DAR-ma) is a Sanskrit word meaning "right action", "right intention" and "right livelihood".  The father, daughter team started Dharma five years ago with the intention of bringing more compassion into the financial industry.  Today they have over 2000 clients and are growing each year with additional staff and a world class office in downtown San Francisco.  

Here's to five more years Dharma!
