OnRamp Continues Growth Launching 700th Website

AUSTIN, TX - March 11, 2008 - Few companies can boast a wall of fame with the likes of a former Texas Governor turned President, Heisman Trophy Winner and famous Texas crooner.  OnRamp Access, Austin’s original Internet operations company, recently completed the development of its 700th website.  Gibson Consulting, a technology, management and operations consulting company for public education will join George W. Bush, Earl Campbell and Robert Earl Keen as OnRamp’s 700th client to receive web development and design services.

Since 1994, OnRamp has delivered comprehensive website design, application development and maintenance services for hundreds of Texas companies.  Consistently ranked among Austin’s top website design and development companies, OnRamp’s experienced team of web professionals offers a unique combination of capabilities allowing customers to rapidly build, deploy and manage new web initiatives.  With a combined 60 years of experience, OnRamp’s web team possesses organizational knowledge and expertise in web development unmatched by any of its competitors.

Yet, OnRamp is more than just a web design/development company.  The company was founded on one guiding principle:  To provide all of the services necessary to build, deploy and manage Internet operations.  In 1994, the information superhighway was a term unfamiliar to most and even fewer realized the tremendous impact the Internet would have on conducting business.  OnRamp founder Chad Kissinger recognized the Internet’s future as a global information system and, in that same year, introduced the Internet to weekend shoppers with a kiosk at Barton Creek Mall in Austin, TX.  Within a year of its inception, OnRamp's Internet backbones provided dial-up, ISDN and T-1 service while the racks in the company’s Data Center began filling up with servers from colocation and managed server customers.  As the need for Internet connection, server storage and management increased, so did the demand for websites.  The expansion of OnRamp's customized Internet services led to the formation of one of Austin’s original and largest web development departments and the creation of 700 websites and applications, including sites for the State of Texas, the Girl Scouts Lone-Star Council and James Avery Craftsman.

Today, OnRamp is still the only technology company in Austin and Central Texas to provide a single source for all of the services and resources to fully integrate a company’s Internet operations.  OnRamp clients like James Avery Craftsman benefit from the company’s “stack” of services by utilizing OnRamp Internet hosting, Data Center managed services and web design/development.
