Where It All Started
InfoEmpire did not begin as a digital agency. It began as something much simpler.
Founded in 1999 as a small internet service provider in the Greater Toronto Area, we started by helping businesses connect to the internet for the first time. Fixing computers, setting up networks, getting businesses online when going online was still a bold move.
Those early clients were curious. They had just discovered the internet and they wanted more. First they asked if we could build them a small website. Then they asked if we could help people find it. Then they asked if we could help them sell through it.
We said yes. Every time.
That is how InfoEmpire was born. Not from a business plan. From listening to what clients needed and figuring out how to deliver it.
Those early days had a charm that is hard to forget. We ran a promotion that said everything about where we were and what we believed in. Buy a domain for one dollar. Get hosting for eight dollars and seventy seven cents. And if you needed to call us, the number said it all: 1-877-GTA-HOST. Greater Toronto Area. Hosting. One number that told the whole story of what we were building.
That phone number still works today. Some things are worth keeping.

Growing With Every Client
The early years were about building everything from scratch. Mail forms. Databases. Basic programming. Web design when web design meant something simple and new. Video production when putting video on a website was still considered ambitious. Print design because clients needed their brand to look consistent everywhere, online and offline.
Every new skill came from a client who asked for something we had not done before. Every new service was the answer to a real problem a real business was facing.
As our reputation grew in Toronto, word spread. Clients in Niagara Falls. Then New York and New Jersey. Then Michigan. The internet had no borders and neither did we.

From Toronto to Florida
Florida changed everything.
A large dental group with dozens of offices across the state found us and liked what we built. That relationship opened a door to an entire industry. Medspa owners. Plastic surgery clinics. Aesthetic practices. Word spread that there was a digital marketing agency that truly understood dental practice marketing, medspa website design and the specific needs of aesthetic clinic owners across Florida, California and Arizona.
California followed. Arizona followed. And as our presence in Florida grew, with more clients in Miami and across the state than anywhere else, we opened our second office in Boca Raton.
By this point InfoEmpire had made a decision. No more computer repairs. No more network installations. No more internet service provider work. The company that once helped people connect to the internet was now fully focused on helping businesses succeed within it.
Web design. Development. Hosting. SEO. Marketing. Everything a modern business needs to grow online, under one roof, from one team that had been doing this since 1999.

The Pandemic Changed How We Work. Not Why We Work.
When COVID arrived, the world stopped moving. Business meetings disappeared. Trade shows and in-person promotions became impossible overnight.
For many companies this was a crisis. For InfoEmpire it was a confirmation of something we already believed. The future of business is online. Always has been.
We moved fully to remote work and never looked back. Our clients discovered that geography no longer mattered. A clinic in Miami and a medspa in Toronto could both get the same level of service from the same team. Distance became irrelevant.
At the same time something else was happening across every industry. Businesses that had never sold online before suddenly had no choice. Clinics started selling products through their websites. Studios launched memberships. Retailers who had always relied on foot traffic needed an e-commerce solution overnight. The demand for people who could build it fast and build it right was enormous. We were ready.

Today and Tomorrow
The pandemic years are behind us. What they left behind is a company that is more focused, more digital and more forward-looking than ever.
AI is no longer a concept we are preparing for. It is part of how we work today. The websites we build for clients are designed for how people will search tomorrow, not just how they search today. Content that gets cited by ChatGPT. Automation that runs while our clients sleep. Marketing that adapts in real time.
As a full service digital agency we still do what we have always done. We listen to what clients need. We figure out how to deliver it. We stay ahead so our clients do not have to.
Since 1999 the internet has changed beyond recognition. Every few years something arrives that changes everything again. We have been through all of it and we are still here, still growing, still saying yes when clients ask for something new.
Tomorrow will be more interesting than today. We are already getting ready for it.
