A bit of history

It’s not my intention to bore you with any “once in a faraway land..” stories, but I thought that explaining a bit of the past and our current situation, will give us all some ground, from which we can better push forward.

We as a company exist for four years now. All this time was devoted to programming. We worked on various contract jobs ranging from desktop applications, games to web applications. Our own products that you see on the front page are mostly smaller side-projects that we did in this time. To test some ideas and scratch few creative itches.

In the middle of last year we slowly started moving from contract programming to seriously building our own products — which was our goal from the start. We focused on 3 different projects and all 3 are now gradually reaching state of first public releases.

Already in testing stage by real users is Site Assistant, which is an online service of tools for webmasters, web-studios and anyone who needs to manage bigger number of websites/domains.

The second, currently named BizyBee is also reaching that stage. It is a lightweight business application, more about it soon.

The third is a search engine for slovene classifieds Oglasko.com . Because ad revenues are a little bleak in our country, especially at this time — Oglasko has a little lower priority than the first two.
