Origins of PULPchat

PULPchat was developed entirely from scratch by Design215 founder, Robert Giordano. Robert is an artist who also does some php scripting and mig welding for fun. His photography has been displayed in galleries across the United States and can be seen at his personal website, gallery215.com.

In 1998, local companies began to rely on Robert's photography and design skills to enhance existing websites or create new ones. In 2001, Robert took websites a step further and began creating web applications. He worked as an independent contractor for several companies, developing applications like the matrixPlayer.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. This was definately true in the case of PULPchat. Being an artist, Robert Giordano wanted a chat room he could completely customize. He didn't want a plain gray or white box where everyones's messages would appear. He wanted complete control over the interface, from the background to the buttons, and even the scrollbars. No Java apps existed that provided that kind of flexibility. Robert set out to do it himself with HTML, Javascript, and server side scripting. By the summer of 2002, it had developed into an application that so many people wanted, PULPchat became a full time business.

International Recognition

As of December 2004, PULPchat has become a part of more than 100 web sites, based all around the globe. From a school in Croatia, to a community site in South Africa, to a internet radio station in Switzerland, to a newspaper in Japan, PULPchat adds an important communication tool to these and many other sites.
