InSite Web Services was founded by Louis Manges. After a successful career in aviation, Manges was attracted to the dot-com explosion, but in a very different way than his peers. While others were holding parties and thinking up arcane perks, Manges saw the business boom as an excellent chance to learn. Working in technical, content, and managerial positions at companies such as Charles Schwab and ZDNet, Manges developed new interests and skills.
When the dot-boom went dot-bust, Manges walked away with technical savvy and a human approach, starting InSite Web Services in 2002. Many of his contacts from the dot-com era are now clients of InSite (see jobhuntersbible.com and mffitzgerald.com). Those clients have been added to with a wide variety of for-profit and non-profit customers.
While Manges' career and skill sets have changed, a few important things have not. That includes his emphasis on treating people with respect, his insistence that technology should serve people (not the other way around), and his genuine joy in meeting new people and learning about their businesses.
