About us
The early days
Our first commercial application was launched in 1979 - at the very dawn of the personal computer revolution.  Ten years later, as mainstream business began using personal computers, we launched our Miriad software accounting package.  This was a huge success for businesses of all sizes between 1990 and 1996 and was our last "green screen" app before Windows took over the world.
Our early web work
We published our first web site in 1995 for a travel company in Switzerland.  Word spread quickly and very soon we'd produced another for an alpine chalet letting firm.  Very few people had access to the Internet at the time and we had to use very primitive tools.  Things are far easier today.

Most of the next ten years was spent upon exclusive (and expensive) assignments for blue-chip international companies such as Compaq and Mercedes.  Creating on-line web-enabled applications with database back ends was tricky even five years ago.  Once again, the Internet has come of age and things are so much easier today. 
What we offer today
Our more recent goal is to empower absolutely any business or individual, no matter how non-technical, to have a web or e-commerce site at an affordable price by creating "package deals" that include everything you need to create and maintain your site.   We won't bore you with technicalities, just put up a great web site quickly, at a cutting-edge price, and look after all of the technical and hosting issues.
