Freerun Technologies, Inc. began in March of 1993, as the dream of two highly skilled and experienced high-tech professionals, Frank Forbes and Heidi Paul. Initially, the company grew from the co-founders' interests in the specialized worlds of fine wine, destination travel, and the expansion of the Internet. The company has grown and prospered throughout the years to include a complete staff of highly skilled and dedicated team members. With Freerun's dedication to provide exceptional service, Freerun currently has established three specific arenas of expertise: destination-travel portal web sites, cutting edge web design, and sophisticated technology.

In November of 1994 Freerun launched the first Wine Country web site, www.NapaValley.com. The site immediately won widespread acclaim from the wine and travel industries, the world of the Internet, and most importantly clients. Early clientele included Robert Mondavi, Beringer Vineyards, Sterling Vineyards, Sutter Home and St. Supery. Freerun has continued to increase the regions of wine country travel sites with the expansion of the www.winecountry.com network. WineCountry.com is a network of portal sites that include www.napavalley.com, www.sonoma.com, www.monterey.winecountry.com, www.mendocino.winecountry.com, and others. These sites allow the traveler to find the perfect bed and breakfast, the finest restaurants, and the latest events to ensure a wonderful wine country experience.

With these sites, Freerun offers WineCountry.com clients access to unparalleled marketing opportunities. Freerun's dedicated staff provides our 500+ advertising clients with a variety of on-line marketing opportunities as well as the ability to market their services in real time. Both small and large businesses can attain global reach and target an affluent demographic with equal ease. Jupiter Media Metrix predicts that online travel purchases will increase from $18 billion in 2000 to $63 billion in 2006. Through the seamless integration of individual portals WineCountry.com cuts through the clutter of individual sites and provides one-stop shopping for travel to the wine country.

The Freerun Web Agency is proud to house award winning designers producing sites such as www.stagsleap.com and www.santelmowines.com. The Web Agency focuses on the union of functionality and graphic excitement. Freerun believes a website must be practical and efficient to navigate, as well as graphically exciting to provide the viewer a sense of satisfaction. Freerun's designers continually train and hone their skills to utilize the latest techniques and stay competitive with an ever-changing industry.

In addition to custom design, Freerun also offers clients sophisticated technologies and comprehensive online solutions to maximize design implementation, hosting, maintenance, ecommerce, and marketing of websites. Freerun utilizes advanced technologies such as UniDox, the latest programming for mass creation using a singe database entry to allow clients easy and efficient maintenance of their site information.

Freerun's scope of site design, list of clients, and dedicated staff have continued to flourish. Growth, market changes and dedication to client satisfaction keeps Freerun constantly seeking the balance between cutting edge web technology, and the key ingredients for website success, usability and on-line marketing.
