Francis Higgins’s Experience

Commercial Director

Gasta Search Networks

(Internet industry)

January 1997 — Present (12 years 11 months)

Developed brand strategy and statistics systems for Gasta Search Network.
Gasta are redefining how users search on the internet by breaking the traditional paged based search mould. Instead we are providing a new rich interactive application approach, allowing the user to search unlimited web, video, images and news on one page. Added to the search are bookmarking and history tools to help make those searches easier to find again.
We have enriched the user experience with social bookmarking, recent search history and all-in-one page search. We believe that more and more search engines will follow this route and users understand the new language of web 2.0 and break away from traditional paper-based hyperlinking and move to application based search.
Gasta Platform is now a rich web application that utilises the best of the web 2.0 technologies. . Gasta now has 450+ domains active including one of the UKs largest property domain holdings.
