About Us
ODLWEB is a family owned and operated business based at Morphett Vale,
South Australia. Each member of the family combine their expertise to make the
business work as a whole. For example David manages the company and specialises
in the Internet and Web Design. Patricia is a Bookkeeper and Office
Administrator. Kirstie is a keen photographer and assists with graphics and animation.
ODLWEB started in 1993 as a stand alone service provider running a BBS
(Bulletin Board Service). This is where people could log on and download various
computer programs like games, drivers and more. BBS' were popular before the
rise of the Internet. For those interested or who remember, the BBS was called
GROUND ZERO.
Over the years various changes were made with the system leaning more and
more towards the Internet. By the late 90's the change over was complete. The
BBS was finally shut down in 1999.
We joined Apana (Australian Public Access Network Association) and run fixed
modem links for about two years. Eventually, David picked up several jobs at the
APANA hub like newsmaster and eventually hubmaster. This involved looking after
various aspects of the hub operation.
ODLWEB is now a totally independent provider. We have our own links
and run web, mail and name servers. We have expanded over the years with UPS
(uninteruptable power supplies) and now have a generator to keep the whole
system running reliably in the event of power failure.
The system is now quite ellaborate and can cater for almost any web design
demands. Storage space is quite substantial allowing for large sites. We have
various web design software packages at our disposal along with graphics and
animation software like Flash.
ODLWEB and our expertise are there for you to utilise should you use
our services.
