Ignite Worldwide combines technology with creativity, allowing small businesses to build and manage web sites.

"When we sit down with a client, we ask them, 'What are your goals? What are your objectives? What do you want to do?' And most of our clients haven't even heard that before," said Wendy Brabon, Ignite Worldwide, Inc. founder and CEO.

The company also handles government accounts.

"We wear a few different hats," Brabon said.

Based in the town of Greece, Ignite Worldwide not only helps build web sites, but it also dabbles in some philanthropic projects.

The company is putting its creativity to good use, by paying tribute to a defining moment for members of the Eastern Air Defense Division.

Its most recent creation is a 9/11 memorial for the New York Air National, where members witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center.

"They wanted a memorial that represents the change they'd gone through," Brabon explained.

The 11-by-13-foot display represents three different 9/11 events.

"You've got the Twin Towers and you've got a piece of the Twin Towers," Brabon said. "And then, there's a piece of the Pentagon, part of the foundation and then the other piece is going to be Flight 93."

The 9/11 memorial resides at the Griffiss Airforce Base in Rome, New York.
