Our Story

Peter Janett founded New Media One Web Services in April of 1997.

After high school, Peter spent 3+ years touring around the US and Canada as a musician. In 1996, the Internet was just popping up in colleges, and Peter visited a college library's internet lab often enough to put a site up for his band. His obsession with the internet grew, and soon he opened a web site selling concert merchandise online. That e-commerce site, started back in 1997, has grown into the online store now used by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, as well as a handful of our other clients. Peter became known on internet mailing lists as the person that could customize online commerce setups. He'd found a niche, interactive programming.

Programming interactive and e-commerce enabled sites requires databases, encryption, and programming capabilities on the web server. Peter often found that people asking him to customize their sites were hosting those sites at places not set up to handle those capabilities. It was from that need that he decided to form a company that could offer hosting services along with the programming. New Media One soon began managing their own servers, and offering hosting services to their clients. A close knit team was formed into the company you see today.

This was the time often referred to as the "internet boom". New Media One was never about the boom or bandwagon, we were simply passionate about what we did, and we weren't expensive enough to burn through venture capital fast enough for the fad sites of that time.

Then and now, New Media One's clients tend to be primarily businesses much more than online ventures. Therefore, the company grew even when the internet boom was unraveling. We actually look at growth VERY carefully, as we know the secret to our success is personalized service.

Too often we have seen a great company providing superior service grow too fast to keep up that service, so we have consciously made the decision to grow slowly. We also have found that finding people of the caliber we require is very tough, even with the huge pool of high tech people available today. Our team has been selected very carefully, and all of us had a working relationship before being part of New Media One.

The majority of our work is done through word of mouth and through our strategic partners. Today, we have the best people, years of experience, committed and energized partners, and processes in place to expand the business without hurting what we do best, giving your business personalized, professional business class service.

In a time when most internet companies are scaling back, we are still growing, at a pace we control. We think big, move quick and appreciate our roots!
