I have known “Soul” Joel Richardson for probably 20 years and he’s been a big supporter of CWS since day 1.  He co-founded Soul Joel Productions (SJP) in 2007 and let CWS build a site for one of his big events, The Staten Island Comedy Festival.  SJP has been hustling ever since doing comedy shows all over New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

CWS Turns 5! Thank You Everyone!!!

Written by Sam Bishop | November 2nd, 2011 | Business, Clients | Comments

5 years ago today, Connected Web Solutions LLC was formed in a small apartment in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. What started as a budding freelance business with a few clients in Central PA has turned into a successful growing business with more than 50 clients spread over 3 continents.

I just want to take the opportunity to say thank you to all our clients, consultants (Lee & Jim), and supporters over the last 5 years.  Without you, CWS would not be here today.  I can’t say thanks enough for all the fun web projects, hard work,  feedback, criticism, guidance, advice, Facebook likes, ReTweets, and support you have given.
