A strange as it may sound, Allie Alberigo created EliteInSites.com out of sheer necessity.
As an entrepreneur going back to the late 1980s/early 1990s, already owning a variety of successful business ventures, including a landscape contracting business, a martial art school & supply center, and as a promoter of martial art tournaments, Allie was already well familiar with traditional business marketing and advertising methods.
But by the late 1990's, he noticed that this new thing called "the World Wide Web" with its specialized pages called "websites" was starting to generate interest among the general public. He intuitively realized that having these "websites" for his own businesses could be crucial for the future growth and success of his companies. In 1999 he registered his first domain, lininja.com (with many more to follow.) At this time, E-commerce was still in its infancy, but Allie sensed there was a lot more potential to be had.
Allie first enlisted the help of one of his martial art students who had experience building some of the web’s earliest sites. The website he created for Allie performed well, and considering Allie was one of the few martial art school owners that even had a website at this time, it was actually quite remarkable. But ultimately, it was basically just an online brochure for his business. Allie sensed there was more to be gained from this new technology.
About a year went by and the student who built his first website left the school, and no longer wanted to handle the site. Another student, who was then learning website design, approached Allie and offered to help. "How lucky I am," Allie thought, "to have these people willing to help me" ...or was he? For soon after, that student also moved on. It was at this point that Allie decided it was time to hire a "reliable professional." Or at least it seemed so. For after waiting months and spending (or more accurately, wasting) about $6600, he got a bare bones website that was worse than what his students had created for him for free!
By this time, Allie’s frustration was mounting. It seemed that it just wasn’t possible to get the vision he had in mind built by someone else. So, in desperation, he decided to try building his website himself using one of the very early, online "DIY" website builders. He taught himself the program, and once he had the site laid out (which was now closer to his vision than any of the former websites had been,) he approached one of his oldest students, friends and business colleagues, Erica, with a proposition.
Erica at this time, owned a successful graphic design business for nearly ten years. Allie and Erica already had a history working together for nearly two decades on countless design, marketing and advertising projects. But until this point, Erica had never done any website work. They sat down together one morning and formulated a new business plan... one that would combine the best of each person’s skills, and their combined passion for business, to forge a new company, a website company that would solve all the problems and frustrations Allie had experienced with his past efforts, while leveraging Erica’s graphic talents. Combining their experience and favorable working history, they created something totally new... The result was the company EliteInSites.com. They chose this name to represent both the commitment to quality and prestige "Elite," their combined business experience or "insight," and the nature of the product itself, "websites."
Almost immediately, the company attracted a wide variety of clientele. Existing clients referred friends and other businesses. The quality and service Allie and Erica provided was second to none, quickly resulting in a customer base of "raving fans."
As time went on, there were growing pains, challenges from ever-changing website technology, new software and coding skills to master, competition from rival companies, and a constant pressure to keep up with the latest website trends. But EliteInSites has always risen to the occasion, exceeding its client's expectations, while remaining both cutting-edge and affordable in a perpetually evolving industry.
