How We Started

Back in 2004, we launched our site, knowing very little about the web. We started out as Ideas For Deck Designs and grew both content and visitors.

Full of the excitement of sharing our experience with homeowners like you who wanted to learn more so they could either do it themselves or have the knowledge to hire the right builder - we pressed on.

During that time, we continued to build decks - and some homes - and even brought some patented products to market.

So we know of what we speak! For those of you interested in building your own successful website, find out how we did it.

Don't you think?

We are not a huge corporation or owned by some global media conglomerate whose mission is world domination.

As a result, you'll get a perspective that is unique among most of the sites you will find. We are just trying to be the glue that brings together...

Homeowners, Builders, Knowledge and Products.
