FOUNDER

Richard Grav

Richard is a talented welder, mechanic, inventor, educator, and successful computer programmer. It all flows together: creating something useful from scraps of metal, and making websites more functional with bits and bytes of alphabet soup.

His first website was for an auto dealer in the mid-1990s, when the web was starting to get popular. He wanted search results while AltaVista, Lycos, HotBot, and Northern Light were trying to index the web.

His first desktop software, Sub-Zero, helped search bots find his customers. He kept developing and improving it, and after a rebrand as iSEEK Traffic it was a steady best seller for more than six years.

For more than 15 years, Richard has used PHP as a second language. All of our websites use PHP, often teamed with a MySQL database.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Lasting relationships.
Practical websites.

Develop lasting relationships with customers. Create websites that are practical and affordable for small and medium-sized companies.
