The founders of Web Boutiques are Ed Hollingshead and Tom Bowden. They worked together for many years within the software industry, creating products for companies such as Microsoft, Nokia, Sega & Sony Ericsson. In 2003, they decided to set up their own company to develop web software. The idea behind Web Boutiques itself was born from a lack of decent products in the market place.

 

“We used a number of third party web software products for our clients at the time and found them all cumbersome and hard to use. So we decided to create our own with the specific intention of making it as easy-to-use as possible. This has been a large part of Web Boutiques’ success: if you can use a word processing package, then you have enough technical ability to modify your own website”. Tom Bowden

 

After many years of development, Web Boutiques has moved from strength to strength. Keeping the same easy-to-use ethos but adding large numbers of useful features, many driven by customer demand, has been paramount to their success. This, combined with clean, professional web design, attention to detail and great customer service, has made Web Boutiques a leading product in the market place today.

 

“With hundreds of websites in Oxfordshire, our next move has been to franchise Web Boutiques across the UK. Our first franchise has been set up in Stockport and we are looking forward to watching our company grow.” Ed Hollingshead
