My name is John McKown and this is my blog. Welcome!

A little about me….
Today I am the president of a company named “Delaware.Net” that I started in 1997. I have two children (twins) that my wife and I adopted as infants in 2001. My family is everything to me but work takes a close second as I have invested many years, dollars, and gallons of sweat to build my business.

How do I have time to write this blog?

I make time. Blogs are great to keep your organization transparent and to share information with colleages and potential clients. I resisted blogs for years and I initially felt that they only existed as a time-wasting exercise in narcisistic behavior. Things are different now. Blogs, combined with aggregation sites, tagging, and human networking sites make blogs way more powerful than ever before. IF the blog content is helpful and targeted to help educate readers, then it has value to its visitors. And also, if the content is relevant and tagged well, it can be a good tool for two-way persistent communication between professionals that normally isn’t possible. The reach of business blogs today helps professionals to extend their reach beyond Google.

My Company

I formed Delaware.Net as an ISP business waaay back in 1997. The company quickly evolved into a web development and web hosting firm from 1998-2000. In 2001, we moved into our new corporate headquarters, and we began building a hosting framework for online applications. The first major online application framework that we launched was an ecommerce system that we called “Store-Logic“. Ecommmerce kept us busy for several years as we also built custom websites for small organizations and medium sized enterprises.

In 2004, I became frustrated by bottlenecks in web development that kept us from growing, so I built a CRM system for managing our projects. Today, this system has evolved into a product that we market as our “Team-Logic” system. In many respects, this system has been my proudest professional achievement. Our competitors have no idea all that we have put into this system. It is a complete CRM, CMS, SEO, AJAX, Single Sign-On, SAAS, hosting and development system that empowers our customers to manage their websites, their marketing, and their business workflo – all online. Every new website that we build and manage uses this system.
