Bravenet Web Services, Incorporated, is a provider of services, tools, and resources useful to webmasters, such as web hosting, web forums, guestbooks, and clip art, headquarted at 100 Jensen Avenue, Parksville, BC, Canada. It was founded in 1997 by David Shworan and Brad Knorr.

Early History

Dave, the founder, was building a website and was in need of a guestbook. He combed the Web, looking for a decent free guestbook service, and came to realize that the few services available were either too hard to install, or too limited to be of much use. All he wanted was a simple, full featured guestbook for his site. It was this simple realization that changed the Web forever. Dave set out to create the world's best interactive, fully customizable, remotely hosted tools for webmasters of all skill levels... and he succeeded. Bravenet's dedicated and talented staff is continually developing exciting new services and upgrading their existing tools. The Web is continually changing, and they will continue to change and grow right along with it.

Expansion and Growth

Since the very beginning, Dave's goal has always been to provide his users with the best free web tools on the Web for their websites. It is now 8 years since they launched their very first guestbook server, and the future for Bravenet looks brighter than ever. In fact, Bravenet is the number one provider of free web tools in the world, and ranked among the top 500 visited websites worldwide! More than 7 million registered members enjoy Bravenet services, and over 20 million unique visitors access a Bravenet product each month. Bravenet has more great tools and exciting services planned to ensure that they remain the top resource for free webmaster information, tools and products on the Internet. A huge part of their success has come from listening to Bravenet members, whom they encourage to keep up the good ideas and suggestions.

Many of Bravenet's offerings are provided on both an advertising-supported and a paid basis. The company employs under 100 people, but despite this, they are in the top 500 most visited websites in the world. To view their current rank, you can visit this page.
