You know how it is, your looking for that important
irreplaceable image file that you last saw a year ago. You know its somewhere on
your stupid computer, you can see it in front of you, but you just cant quite
find it.. An hour later you are either attacking your computer or just irritated
that you never found the file and pretty much concede that you never will..
This was the point I was at about 15 minutes ago and just as I was about to give
up, I stumbled across something that I have been looking for for much longer..
Below I have attached screenshots and links to our very first website (Which we
started around March 04) as well as the second webpage which we used From about
July to Dec 04...
WHERE PERKAL IS COMING FROM?
Surprisingly one of the most popular question that
clients ask is "Where do you guys come from?"
I have always found this a difficult question to
understand although have always understood it as complimentary in intention.
When I stumbled upon these two original web pages dating back 2 years, the first
thing that entered my mind was this question of where has Perkal come from?
This first site was hosted from my Home (HomeIP) We
used it for about 6 months, it took us (My then Partner Eli Perpenyal and I)
about 6 months in total to get this first site up and so it will always
have an extremely fond place in our hearts. I know it doesn't look like much,
but everyone has to start some where.. We had no experience in this and so for
us was this first site was gold, we loved this first website so much.. the pride
we felt when we saw of first visitor on the website and then our first sale..
Click on the screen shot below to see the full size version, it is the first
ever Perkal webpage, please note that this is just a copy of the home page, the
links have been updated to link to our current website..
Perkals very first web site (March 04 - Nov 04)
Then in Nov 04 we changed to the look and feel shown in
the screenshot link below, just click on the image to see the full scale
version..
Perkals secound site (Nov 04 - Jan 05)
Its amazing to see how the sites have changed and
matured over the last 23 months and this is just the beginning. We will look
back 12 months from now on the current site and be amazed at the growth.
To answer all your questions, to be honest, we came
from nothing.. No huge investors or extra support, just good, hard, consistent
work. We thank our customers for this growth. There are customers who have been
there from the beginning and watched this progression, we thank you for the
support even before we had much to offer.. It has been a fruitful 2 years and we
have achieved much, but most of all we look forward - with your continued
support - to building Perkal into the Empire we envisage..
