New Web Site
Anzan Technologies is very pleased to introduce its new web site. Anzan was started in early 2007 by a group of colleagues who all shared the same vague notion that they wanted to build a software development company that was different. Exactly what we meant by "different," or even whether there was an exact meaning, is a topic for another discussion. What's important here is that when we started, we weren't really sure where we were going. Well we set up a web site which reflected that. We bought the domains which matched our chosen company name and we set up a landing page which featured what I still feel is a very nice and professional logo...and nothing else. Well, we weren't sure what we needed to say or who we needed to say it to, so, there it was. Short and sweet.
Over the next year or two we began to dabble with a variety of things, one of which was bidding on local government contracts. In December of 2008 we submitted a proposal which demanded that we have non-trivial, meaningful content on our web site. So we designed a web site that would convey exactly what we needed to convey to be consistent and complimentary with our proposal. We constructed the web site using Adobe Flex and deployed it before submitting the proposal. Unfortunately, we did not win the contract, but at least our website advanced a bit as a result.
While the Flex-based web site conveyed some useful information for anyone who happened to come looking for us, it was not very useful for connecting with folks out there who were searching for software development companies. Because the site was constructed strictly with Flex, it was all but invisible to the major web search engines. Still, it has not been until recently that we have settled on exactly what it is that we should be promoting on our web site. Over the last year or so (really since September of 2009), Anzan has focused on three things. First, we have been developing our first software product, Savoy Selections. Second, we have been designing, constructing, and deploying web sites for other businesses. Third, we have been developing custom software under contract to other organizations. It seems clear now that these three things should be promoted by our web site, but we also want the site to be something more. Specifically, we want the web site to be a venue for discussions relating to all sorts and degrees of software development. So, in addition to a set of largely static pages that promote our current business activities, we have also included a "blogging" engine that we plan to use to make anzantech.com that venue.
We hope you will spend some time and look around our new web site. Like all software, it will never be finished, but we hope you will find something useful. Visit our About Us page and feel free to contact us with any comments you might have regarding the site. Thank you for visiting.
