Austin, TX · Est. 1996

WholeTech

Web development, digital archiving, and online community building — for nearly thirty years. From the first spring.com BBS in 1996 to a portfolio of 100+ web properties today.


The Origin Story

It all began in 1996 with the launch of the spring.com BBS — a bulletin board system that became one of Austin’s early online communities. From there, spring.net and austinspring.com followed, and the network kept growing: fan sites, community portals, tech projects, radio, real estate, and everything in between.

Over three decades, WholeTech has built and maintained more than a hundred websites. Some are still live. Many are preserved through archive.org. All of them tell the story of the early web and how one person’s curiosity kept building.

The Portfolio

112 Domains. Past & Future.

Three decades of building websites left us with something rare — a portfolio of 112 domains spanning Austin culture, entertainment, technology, coworking, real estate, ham radio, ecommerce, and causes we care about. Some became thriving communities. Some were ahead of their time. Some are still waiting for their moment.

Now, with AI as a collaborator, every one of these domains has a second act. We’ve mapped the history of each site alongside its future potential — what it was, and what it could become. The raw material of three decades meets the tools of tomorrow.
