How Does A Two Person Company Produce So Many Websites?

Our business model has changed over the years. In 1996 when we first began the planning of our company, formerly JFTR.COM, we were a company of 4 partners, operating our own ISP and Hosting from our home office. We had 27 servers hosting well over 200 websites. We supplied a local dial-up company with their service. We also never could leave the equipment for any amount of time, because in the Internet world, what could go wrong, will go wrong. After a few all nighter's fixing a mail server or installing the newest servers to keep up with the change in technology, we decided that it would be much more efficient to let a large, dependable web hosting company take over the hosting and mail chores. Our other two partners eventually went on to pursue other interests.

Now, we have a core team of subcontractors who are highly skilled in several different technologies. We evaluate your requirements for your website and then we put together a team, all working on a single phase of the site. Sometimes, the site is worked on by one person alone, or by two or more people.

The most important fact is that John Flanders Internet Consulting is the central point of contact. Reports and test sites are sent here to be reviewed and then we get back with the developer with either an approval or if we have found a bug or if the work needs a bit more to come up to requirements.

So therefore, we do not have a large overhead to support, turn out good, reliable work, and pass the savings on to you, our client.
