Matt Mickiewicz’s Summary
At SitePoint.com, we run one of the largest Web Developer oriented sites on the Internet serving millions of people on a monthly basis.
In fact, Alexa.com ranks us as one of the Top 1000 sites on the Internet today, and BRW Magazine ranked SitePoint the 100 fastest growing businesses in Australia for 3 years running.
The huge flow of traffic to SitePoint allows us to spot trends early and adjust our focus to meet the demands of our userbase.
What differentiates SitePoint from other media companies?
#1.) Grass-roots research based on the 3.0 million+ visitors to our site every month
#2.) Our ability to consistently sell millions of dollars worth of products through our own Website instead of being reliant solely on advertising revenue
#3.) The ability of our staff and editors to present content in a fun, practical and easy-to-understand manner
In February 2008 we spun-off 99designs.com, which is now the leading crowdsourced marketplace for graphic design.
99designs allows anyone to host a design contest to get a logo, website, stationary, t-shirts, banners, business cards, etc. designed without the risk of hiring a traditional freelancers or agency. A new design is uploaded to the site every 10 seconds, and over $100K per week is paid out to designers who participate in our marketplace. 99designs has been profiled on Good Morning America, NY Times, CBS and numerous other media outlets.
In June 2009, we spun-off Flippa.com. Flippa is a marketplace for buying and selling websites via an auction format. Over $1 million in websites trades hands each month.
While part of SitePoint, our Marketplace was featured in the NY TIMES, Seattle Post, OC Register, Boston Globe, CNN Money, Business 2.0 Magazine, Fast Company, CBS and numerous other media outlets such as TechCrunch and CenterNetworks.
