About Us

Web Wizards is not a huge, corporate entity. We probably never will be. Why? Because that would surely bring to an end to the kind of business we truly enjoy running. We like knowing our customers, sharing their experiences, and having a positive influence on their business or personal life.

We're run by people; we're not a large corporate red-tape-driven system. We focus on our customers, they are not just an account number. We're friendly, and we don't plan on growing so big we don't know who our customers are. That doesn't mean we're so small we may not be around next month or next year. We're established, we've been running a hosting company since early 1997, and we're still growing strong!

We have an edge over most other large corporate web hosting companies because we don't have 200 random strangers answering your email, you'll usually get the same person every time. We are friendly, not corporate-nice, not so professional that we can't share a joke with you. One goal of ours is to remain that way, no matter how much we grow. Talk about a challenge!

We're growing in response to the demand for web sites, and you'll notice we can help you more than ever. We offer services that compliment our hosting, including domain name registration, design, programming, marketing, and other related services. All these services come with the same friendly personable support that has made our web hosting service flourish. We aim to offer one-stop shopping for someone that has a web site, and if we don't offer a service you require, then we'll find someone that does! In any event, you benefit from choosing to work with us.

History

Web Wizards had a modest beginning. Back in 1993, a few friends and I got together and thought the Internet, and the World Wide Web specifically, was a great new tool for communication, marketing, and more. We learned and programmed in HTML and all these new languages, learned about this new Web stuff, and soon became "Wizards" on the web. In 1996, we noticed there were a lot of businesses starting to do a lot of web development work, and it was getting pretty popular. And there weren't a lot of good web hosting companies out there. So when a friend asked me about how to get a web site started, I offered to do it for him. I took the opportunity to create my own web site as well, offering web sites to other people I knew.

Web Wizards was born.

It's grown from there... a few customers at a time. Mostly word of mouth, then we won a few awards, some every month for over a year straight! People saw our awards, liked our reputation, enjoyed our service, and told their friends.

From the very beginning we strived to create a friendly, personable, easy and feature-packed web site hosting service that people would enjoy being a part of. We compete against large corporations, and we have the upper hand... we don't treat our customers with indifference, we like building relationships with them, we've even had customers from Japan fly in to San Diego and tour Sea World with my family and I! We believe in establishing a relationship with every customer, and we take the extra step in getting to know them, make sure they are happy, everything is working, and see what else we can do for them. We'll do this for you, too. :-)

Our Staff

Robert Marlbrough, Jr.
Owner, Web Wizards

Rob got started in web design and web hosting back in late 1996 with a friend needing a web site. He felt the need for friendly, supportive web site services, decided he could do better than what was currently offered, and began spreading the word of his services. With a few dozen customers, in March of 1997, Web Wizards was officially launched. Rob's technical background includes everything to do with computers... from programming TRS-80's in his 5th grade computer lab, to programming his very first computer, a Commodore 64, and having to leave it on overnight, because he didn't yet have a disk drive for it to store his programs on. He got awarded a National University summer programming scholarship in the 8th grade. He was the only kid in his class that turned in his homework printed out from his computer. He's been online since modems existed, and ran a BBS from his bedroom since before high school.

He has a Bachelor of Science in Business, with an emphasis in Information Systems, from San Diego State University. His favorite classes were business marketing, psychology, international business, comparative programming languages, and introspective literature. He was a teaching assistant for COBOL, and was good with the flowcharts. He programmed his PC to process all his matrix math equation homework, and knew the process forwards and backwards once he was done debugging it.

He has been involved in most everything computer-related, including the Amiga and selling Video Toaster systems. His experience includes jobs as a PC salesperson, a PC repair technician, and he used to run a PC consulting business. He's done database design and programming, programming on Silicon Graphic computers. He's learned most flavors of UNIX, he's done IconAuthor, then moved on to Visual Basic and ASP. He's gotten his feet wet in Perl, DHTML, Java, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, XML, and most other web technologies and languages.

Most everything related to the Web has been self-taught. He has managed networks, Linux servers, Windows NT/2000 servers, and has a LAN at his house connecting a half-dozen or so computers, complete with a wireless network to three laptops. He reads almost every computer and Internet magazine that exists. He has the answer or can find an answer fast for almost any computer question.

His hobbies include running a stellar web services company, answering email at all hours of the day, including on trips to Disneyland and vacations in Las Vegas. Other hobbies include watching movies, either on the big screen in the theatres, or on the DVD at home; he's a big NetFlix.com fan. He tries to read a few books, but rarely has free time. He also enjoys photography, art, and all kinds of music. He is especially amused with writing in the third person. ;-)

It figures, he was born in Silicon Valley, the year Intel was busy inventing their first microprocessor, the 4004.

Robert and Carla have a 18 year old son, Omar, and a 12 year old son, Nicholas.
