About us and when it all began
 

  
   
Yep, Im a real person. Online marketing manuals say there should be a picture on this page. Apparently people like to put  a face to all the emails they recieve, to know that it's not some random machine stuck out in cyber-space designing web pages and sending emails. So who am I to argue with such words of wisdom. Nothing to do with vanity though. So here then, is the "about us" page

  During 2005  the idea was born to create online databases for B&B's, and businesses in general. I always found that even though there were many ways to find information, it was still difficult to pinpoint what I was looking for. And so began www.bedonline.co.za a way to find a bed in whichever province or area I happened to be. Not long after, based on someone's troubles in trying to find information for his daughter's wedding,  www.wedonline.co.za was created for the wedding industry.

Same scenaro, trying to find a service in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. in 2007, www.southernonline.co.za was started as a business website, listing each commodity to it's own page. This in turn led to the birth of www.northernonline.co.za which has become our flagship.

In the pipeline will be business websites of Overberg, Westcoast, Boland and Garden Route. This would then totally connect just about every type of business throughout the Western Province... My ultimate goal		  
         
         
 

Whats it all about?

  
         
  It's about finding things in a hurry. Ever tried looking for a police station in the telephone book? Ever tried looking for a plumber online, for your area? An electrician, or a wedding planner in the yellow book?

One would believe that because of the abundance of information out there, anything should be simple to find. Thats just the point, because of the glut of information, it's acually quite difficult to find exactly what you need. Needle in a haystack scenario

These websites have a page per commodity, opened with one click of the mouse. On each page is a goldmine of information about any service provider you may require, at your fingertips.

Just bookmark these websites, and with ONE click of the mouse, find whatever commodity/service provider you require.

 
         
  As simple as that
