About Pyropixel Enterprises
Pyropixel Defined
Pyro is short for pyromaniac, defined by Webster as "a compulsion to set things on fire."
We at Pyropixel Enterprises set things on fire. We get things done and when they're done, they are hott! Our number one goal is to completely satisfy the customer. A flame is a natural element, vital to survival. Fire purifies and perfects the things with which it comes into contact. Another goal is to perfect our designs and creations. Striving to redefine new media pixel by pixel, we continually press to stand above the rest.
History
The concept of name of pyropixel came about in August of 2004 when the founder had been browsing a design forum and thought of the name. He loved the idea of a fiery mascot/logo and at the time had been doing a lot of pixel work. Although there had been design experience before August 2004, the name stuck and he registered the domain name.
Originally the web site was a design portfolio to some extent for the web hosting designs that had been completed. However, approximately 40 Adobe Photoshop tutorials were added to the site which helped generate some stable traffic and regular visitors. At that time, the entire site was entered into an International Student Media Festival where it won best of category (website) and best of festival (overall) in 2006. It won additional awards in 2007 as well.
In early 2008, Pyropixel started to redesign the portfolio side of things to encompass a more web 2.0 look. Although it was simple and plain, version 3 didn't last for very long because in the late spring of 2008, Pyropixel strove for a more professional appeal. The final product, version 4 of the site, is the currently live web site you view today. This portfolio is one of Pyropixel's best works of web site development and they continually strive for excellence every day
Finally, Pyropixel Enterprises incorporated in the summer of 2008 as a Limited Liability Corporation and started to take on other web and Internet related endeavors.
