I am so chuffed, I have been profiled on ITWeb, a prominent South African online technology publication. You can get to the profile by clicking on the image below:

I saw a van with this agency’s branding and just took a look at the site. I like it, a lot! Appeals to me. I love the chat box in the corner. Think I am going to try it out.
Update: Well, I tried it out and really liked what I experienced!
