Projects 1996-1999
These years were full of excitement, with many new technologies appearing on the scene and opportunities everywhere. GeniusWeb moved into a storefront in Aberdeen, SD and began hiring.
While many of the sites developed during this period were lost in the dot-com bust, many still remain and do good business thanks largely to practical management by their owners.
GeniusWeb's first client was a shopping mall store called Good Nature. Marianne, the owner, wanted a site that would complement her store, and the sales were so good that she eventually closed up her brick and mortar shop and went 100% online. She has since sold the company.
GeniusWeb also constructed a large number of sites during this time for companies in the Aberdeen, SD area where the company was founded.
Soon GeniusWeb was also busily constructing incentive program intranets for our partners for use by companies including Aetna US Healthcare, Mohawk Flooring, Cingular Wireless, Mannington Mills, Dr. Pepper, DLT Solutions, Quantum Corporation, Relm Corporation, Tennant Company and many others. Most of these sites were built to provide a one year or shorter incentive program, and handled the management of hundreds of thousands of sensitive customer and salespeople records accurately and safely.
This experience built skills in ensuring data integrity, security testing, as well as creating reusable software. Client relationships were managed via the Incentive Solutions company, so GeniusWeb's main focus was on developing software at this time.
GeniusWeb developed a number of programs during this time including the first ever in-browser search engine submission program "Search Stuffer" which later became "Deep Submit," the early server-side scripting independent versions of "GeniusCart," a hosted guestbook service called "Gbook", web counter services, and a lot of other less famous tools as well.
These experiences gave GeniusWeb a good handle on the complexities of operating highly popular and high traffic web applications, requiring the development of even stronger optimization skills.
The difficult years of the early 0's were survived thanks to GeniusWeb's loyal clients and careful financial management.
2000-Present
GeniusWeb has built and maintained the 2.x line of GeniusCart Software and kept it up to date to serve the needs of the many customers who rely on it. New features continue to be added on a fairly regular basis.
GeniusWeb currently provides consulting and technology for a number of important companies doing interesting things. Each new client brings new knowledge and experience to GeniusWeb, just as GeniusWeb brings its cumulative experiences to them. Here are a few of our current partners:
