History

Westcom, Ltd. started development of Webnode in September 2006 and officially launched 16 months later in January 2008.

Originally since 2002, the developer company Westcom had created online applications for large customers and had developed a system they could use for making it easier for programmers to launch and create new websites. From this framework system came the idea of creating a website builder tool for non-technical users.

First the Czech version was launched and then the Slovak one became operational in early June. By the end of 2008 Webnode had more than 200,000 users in more than 80 countries around the world, including the United States, Spain and China. Two years later, in 2010, its user base raised to more than 2 000 000 users and it had 12 language versions.
