25th Anniversary Retrospective

It seems impossible that it's been 25 years since I started BizzyWeb as a hobby, building websites for friends and small businesses. It seems fitting that for our "silver anniversary," we welcome our 25th team member, and looking in the mirror, I have a bit of silver (well, maybe more than a bit). 


This journey wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support from all of you. Thank you to our fantastic customers who trust us as partners to grow their businesses online. I'm incredibly grateful to our team of talented employees, who are all now more family than coworkers. Of course I'd also like to shout-out our friends and partners, who have been instrumental in shaping BizzyWeb into the company it is today. Your advice, partnership and collaboration has been tremendous. 

From our commitment to creating easy-to-maintain websites in our early days, to becoming a leading growth partner to our clients using tools like HubSpot, we've always strived to deliver the best possible service. Your continued support has allowed us to evolve and grow alongside the ever-changing digital landscape.

Here's to another 25 years of generating buzz without getting stung!

2003 - Our very first site on the world wide web! It's simple, but it gets the job done. Our mascot Buzz was designed in an early version of Photoshop, of course.

2005 - Our site and mascot has the first of many makeovers. This retro-inspired look will last for a while.

2008 - A huge leap forward for design and function- and our first WordPress-powered company site. This is the rise of blogging, and our new site echos popular sites like LiveJournal, WordPress and Tumblr.
2011
2011 - Our mascot Buzz goes through another major appearance change - into the iconic look he still sports today.

2014 - This was a major design shift for our site. With the popularity of cell phones, our site goes full-width and mobile-friendly.

2017 - Minimalism is in, and our site for this year is a paired down to simple icons and limited text.

2019 - The 2019 site is in many ways a mixture of past versions of the BizzyWeb site, while still being very much of the time.
