phpAuction… From inspiration to steady growth.
We don´t just develop software… our client base grows through service and trust!
It was 1997 and the main reference for online auctions was… you guessed it: eBay. Started as a personal project to test the potential of the newborn PHP scripting language. phpAuction version 1.0 was written in PHP/FI language (also called PHP2) and was using miniSQL as database back end.
In October 1999 the script was migrated to PHP3 and the database engine was changed to MySQL. New features were added to upgrade this version and phpAuction was finally released as free software under the terms of the General Public License (GPL). However, the project was still at a personal initiative level.
November 2000 saw the decision to leave a basic package available under GPL and the critical decision was made to further develop a new and improved commercial package for phpAuction.
The development of software solutions and suites has been consistently steady. Today, phpAuction is the leading auction package for small/medium auction websites. New value-added services had been added to phpAuction such as hosting, design, and customer management, in order to provide excellent service and turnkey solutions for our clients.
Many talented people have been kind enough to helped us during all these years and we would to thank every single one of them for their contributions and the part they have each played in our success.
We would like to send a message to every single user: THANK YOU for your confidence in us and your and enthusiastic energy!
