We began building websites soon after meeting Roger Black, the author of Web Sites That Work (Circa 1997) who received a commission to redesign Computer Shopper Magazine (I was the first technical editor, under the direct tutilege of Stan Veit and a technology influencer before I ever knew what they were) in the late 1980s. DOUGLAS USA began by creating stick-built websites as we like to refer to them when built from scratch, and still fix and update older sites with the tools afforded us within The Adobe Creative Cloud, and before that Adobe Go Live, and even used the Adobe Business Catalyst until it was shut down around 2018.    DOUGLAS USA was one of the first users of Webydo, because we quickly recognized it was easier to craft powerful websites with and incredibly fast from beginning to end. That was important to our business, because before Webydo, it took too much time to create value and small to medium sized businesses were unwilling or unable to commission what would benefit them in a competitive market. And as Roger Black believed in, we only provide websites and MARCOM that work.  If you happen to have one of our Websites, it is worth much more than it cost because we always wanted to deliver more than what clients expected. But that cost us so much that before Webydo we did not offer to create Websites unless the budgets were already in place and suitable for the project at hand.  For example, Webydo’s features, functionality, and reliability allow us to compete with all design studios of any size or experience. It allows us to create extremely innovative and powerful websites in half time, at a lower cost to clients, and with many times the value of competitor offerings. Our finished website research reports that our small market website designs are worth more than double what we charge in medium markets and tens of thousands of dollars in major markets. With those margins business owners can be more flexible and accommodating to entrepreneurs and startups anywhere.  We presently create responsive websites with Webydo that combine brand marketing, communications, SEO, and content management systems that provide continuous automatic backups during designing and updates, unlimited revision histories, Google Cloud Hosting, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, W3C-validated site code, branded sub-domains, and a global content delivery network with nearly instantaneous updates.​
