About WebmasterNotRequired.com

grew from a simple web design company back in the spring of 1999. At that time the internet was just about to take off and still had many major players fighting for customers to use their products.

For example Microsoft's Internet Explorer & Netscape's Navigator went head to head before Microsoft eventually won out and shortly after was sued for bundling the browser with the Windows operating system.

Today while there are many web browsers they mostly work with the same standards, code written for one generally will work across all browsers.

Anyway it was a difficult time to say the least, a good web developer or webmaster at the time really had to earn the title. At one time it was not uncommon for the webmaster to not only design and maintain a web site including the use of server side technologies & databases to collect & process information but also had to know how to configure and maintain the web & mail servers.

Around the turn of the century the Internet was experiencing uncontrolled growth and projects were demanding thousands if not millions of dollars to be built and promoted. Many people bought into stock options and more with these Internet start ups, however the industry was slow to deliver on its promises. Security was poor, web sites and online stores were ridiculously expensive (Generally code had to be written from scratch, custom code is expensive), people had little trust in dealing with people online they could not see.

Then came the DOT COM BUST, many companies went bankrupt or had to downsize as the initial big promises from the internet were experiencing problems and it became obvious that it was going to take a lot more time, better security and money before the Internet was ready for today's users.

So after a couple of name changes and a restructure of core services (we had to add more, like hosting, domain names, database applications, online marketing) we are still here, and not only that we still have our very first customers.

Well, we survived the Internet boom and bust followed by the strong resurgence of the Internet.

A Network Solutions invoice from April 2000Today we are known as WebmasterNotRequired.com & GetDomainNamesFree.com (our domain registration site). Which in itself is quite amazing, when we started in 1999 our very first domain name cost us $70.00 for 2 years, then minimum time you could register back then. Today domain names are generally less than $11 a year and FREE with all of our services.

Also we've taken a modular approach to web development which brings huge savings to you. For most businesses and customers you will require a simple set of core applications. Very rarely will you truly require a custom application, more so you will probably require an application customized to fit your needs and company.

We've made hundreds of web sites and have been building and using database web applications for years.
