Welcome to the official blog of WebCOM Studio! As we write this first post, it feels like opening a new chapter in a book that started way back in 1999. Yes, it’s been 25 years since we began this incredible journey, and we’re still as passionate about the web as we were when PHP was in version 3, and WordPress didn’t even exist.
A Journey Through the Evolution of the Web
When we started, the web was a different place. Our very first client had us hard-code over 300 web pages—a task that might sound daunting today but was an exhilarating challenge at the time. We’ve watched the internet grow and evolve, and we’ve evolved with it. From static pages to dynamic applications, from proprietary software to the explosion of Open Source, we’ve been there, learning and contributing every step of the way.
Celebrating Open Source
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is the immense power of Open Source. We salute the community that has made it possible to build robust, scalable, and efficient solutions without constantly reinventing the wheel. Open Source is a testament to human collaboration—a reminder that we’ve moved far beyond the first great invention of mankind, the wheel, to create something far more interconnected and dynamic.
Our New Direction: Startups and Dreams
As of now, WebCOM Studio has officially stopped doing consultancy work. Instead, we’re focusing all our energy and resources on building three startups, each with its own ambitious goals. The first of these, 123eBusiness.com, is our dream project. Our vision is bold and unconventional: to become “the world’s biggest smallest company,” achieving billions in monthly revenue while staying lean, agile, and deeply connected to our customers.
Staying Connected
Though our focus has shifted, this blog will remain a space for us to share our thoughts, insights, and experiences. We promise to post here at least once a month, continuing the dialogue we’ve enjoyed with our audience over the years. Expect posts that delve into technology, business, and the entrepreneurial spirit driving our new ventures.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey
To all our clients, collaborators, and supporters: thank you for walking this path with us. Whether you’ve been with us since our early days or are just discovering us now, we’re grateful for your support and enthusiasm. The journey is far from over, and we’re excited to share the road ahead with you.
Stay tuned for more updates, and here’s to dreaming big and building even bigger!
Warm regards,
The WebCOM Studio Team
