to the page with all of the History! This page will enlighten you on a little personal background of our company and how it was developed.

Websites in a Flash was the brain company of Geoffrey Sanders in early 2000. Geoffrey had spent the majority of 1999 apprenticing at an internet company that his father was the president of. (That year they hit the 37th most popular website on the net!) During that year, Geoffrey learned many different programs, but he kept going back to a program called Flash 4, by Macromedia. He spent hours and hours on this program, playing with all of the different aspects and details.

One co-worker, when he first showed Geoffrey the Flash program, said that it would probably take him anywhere from two weeks to a month to learn the program. Two days later, Geoffrey came back looking for more!

Soon after, Geoffrey acquired his own copy of the program and started making hundreds of animations. (Some of them can be viewed at www.animationhappy.com.)

When Geoffrey realized that he could start to make money by creating animations and websites for businesses, etc., he created a website: WebsitesinaFlash.com!

Creating a website for a flash animation business meant that he had to create a Flash animation for the homepage. He and his older brother, Ashton, spent hundreds of hours creating an entertaining flash movie that would represent both the childish fun of creating websites and the professionalism of getting them done quickly! The animation was very close to done within a couple months, but was never completely finished. The brothers would sit down and work on it for an afternoon every now and then, but there was always more to do. After years of tweaking and perfecting the animation, it was finally completed in October of 2005! This is the first animation you see when you enter our website!

The Development of the Websites in a Flash Logo

Our own logo went through a development proccess almost as intense as the website design and flash animation. Okay, so it wasn't anywhere close to that intense, but I though I'd share it with you any way.

When Geoffrey decided to name his website design and flash animation business "Websites in a Flash," he knew he had to come up with a logo that represented both professionalism and the playfulness with which he worked. So he created this next layout. And this really stuck. We've always had this same layout, but everything else about it has changed a lot:

After we created the layout, we started adding colors:

Then tried some shading:

How about a background? How about enveloping the "Flash" with a flash?

Na, too eighties. Lets scratch the background and try a background only behind flash? We liked this one, and kept it for a couple years:

The last edit we went through was changing that blue background behind the flash to a yellow explosion/flash. And this is our current branding and Logo.

The only other thing we have done with our logo was create the WF seen here with the randomly chosen stick figure.
