About

An attempt to “rid the world of ugly web sites, one site at at time,” Startuptopia was created as a service to provide professional web sites at a fraction of the cost offered by traditional web developers.

The developers of this service perfected a method of building attractive, professional, and as they say, “eye-popping” design using rapid prototype methodology. In fact, Startuptopia can have an operational web site up and running in as few as two days. Their secret involves using open-source, content management systems originally designed for development of blogs. What they’ve managed to do however is build some extremely attractive web sites of a quality that would typically cost $10,000 or more for $1,500 or less. This is truly a revolution in web site design and deployment.

Adding further value to the owners, the sites can be maintained entirely without further assistance from Startuptopia. In fact, if the new owners have the ability to navigate through folders on their desktop, or manage their email, they have the qualifications to manage the sites themselves.

Startuptopia claims their biggest challenge is communicating to businesses that “their babies are ugly.” Most start-ups don’t understand the importance of a professional appearance, and even if they did, they don’t recognize “ugly” when they see it.

Startuptopia’s founders have many years of experience in branding, advertising, design, and web site development.
