Lasse, this is exactly what we had in mind when we started developing ideas frot Hammerkit in 2001.

I am a graphic designer and I have been making graphic design and illustration for 30 years, multimedia for 20 years and developing interactive web services to companies for 13 years. I also make music in my home studio, so I understand what you are talking about.

I want to be able to do more advanced web services and applications myself. Why program things all over again and again? Why not let programmers concentrate on challenging and advanced things instead of routine interface programming? Why ask programmer to make changes to code just because you are updating the design of the web service? Why not give the tools and the power to create dynamic, functional, rich content to designers? Why not create dynamic applications using visual tools instead of command lines or programming language and concepts? And no compromise with style and design because of technology.

We found a solution to these challenges. We believe that this method could really revolutionize the production of web-services.

Well, we have already produced hundreds of databased web-services with this tool and we know it works.

We did not really realize at start that we were so early adopters. It was really hard to explain our vision to investors and other people in the beginning. If we had listened to plentiful advices to focus our business to something more ’understandable’, we would not be here anymore.

Fortunately the markets developed as we anticipated, even if not so quickly as we wanted. And fortunately Mark Sorsa-Leslie joined us in 2007 as our managing director. He got the idea immediately and started spreading the message. He put some speed on things. He is a great guy.

HammerKit is not perfect yet, interface needs modernization, new needs arise all the time. But, it is a real thing already. You can use it to develop and manage advanced, databased web-services. We are experiencing it all the time.

Welcome to participate in HammerKit development. Just contact us, let’s talk more. Let us know what you want and what we should do.

Nice post and while I was reading this I remember something a bit similar about VC money here

"It’s no secret that Internet businesses can be started with no budgets and get themselves to profitability within a year or two. We did it during the ‘nuclear winter’ and so did Blogger, Flickr, Delicious, LiveJournal, HotorNot, Moveable Type, Wordpress, StumbleUpon, … need I go on?"
