The year's end is near the end of the year, which is a good time to reflect. Read the article below for ideas on what's transpired in the past. How things went well, and how they didn't in addition to what's in store this year.

What's the difference between

Million of customers have taken advantage of the power and flexibility of HTML0's platform to launch, develop and grow their business online. We've been able to do this as a team, continuously improving our service due to the open source nature of our heritage.

We're little overwhelmed by the scale of our business as well as the variety of customers we dealt with this year. This created some challenges to satisfy everyone with what we offered in the products and marketing along with customer service. Also, we probably spent too much time and time at our competitors, which made it difficult for us to interact with our customers, and was the core of what is really our strength.

The idea was never to become a tool to create very simple websites with only a a hint of functionality for stores. However, our principal objective was putting the potential for flexibility, versatility and freedom of choice anyone with an idea on how to manage the development of an online-based business.

We believe that WordPress as well as the amazing community of users it has created is the most suitable platform to assist entrepreneurs with an open-source platform to make your thoughts come to life. There are also numerous themes, extensions and other services (paid and premium) that can help your thoughts appear.
