Who We Are
Webs was founded by three brothers with one goal in mind: to help people get the websites they want without technical skills or a big budget. The team has grown by leaps and bounds, and the office space has certainly changed, but everyone is still working toward that same goal. Our team is passionate about our purpose and obsessed with innovation. From the engineers who make the tools, to the support team that helps you use them, everybody knows what we're here to do- and we have a lot of fun doing it.

How We Got Here
In 2001, brothers Haroon and Zeki Mokhtarzada were in their last years at the University of Maryland and were designing websites in their spare time. Realising that there was no easy way for the average person to create a quality website on their own, the two saw an opportunity: to build a solution that anyone could use - even their mother.
As Webs grew by leaps and bounds in the subsequent years, the leaders saw new opportunities to help small business owners succeed in a world that was becoming ever more digital. As a result, Pagemodo and ContactMe were added to the Webs platform, offering do-it-yourself social media marketing and professional contact management respectively.
In 2011, Vistaprint, a leading online provider of marketing products, took note of the innovations Webs was making in digital marketing, and saw the potential for tremendous synergy. Acquired in December of 2011, Webs is now the Digital Services division of Vistaprint, and maintains its own unique startup-inspired culture to this day.
How We Operate
Looking around Webs' brightly coloured Maryland office, it doesn't take long to get a sense of the company's culture. Our engineers work in small teams - often side by side with the company's founders-perfecting current offerings or thinking up the next big thing. The office can be very boisterous at times, and so quiet at others you would swear you can actually hear people innovating. Communication flows freely around the open space - from support to marketing to product. And what we lack in walls, we make up for in free snacks.
