About LEXIPIXEL

LEXIPIXEL is virtual web development company. Our home office is located in a suburb 20 miles west of Boston, MA. (USA). Our lead developer is Randy Harris has over 15 years experience designing online information systems and a prior background in printing and graphics.

LEXIPIXEL is a full service print and online design shop.

From 1987 to about 1999, we worked mostly with proprietary technology and only distributed, (sold, licensed), compiled programs and copyright protected graphic images and template systems. Leading the late 1980's to early 1990's migration from dial-up (ANSI) BBS technology to TCP/IP, we explored and helped pioneer several promising graphics and transmission protocols, (NAPLPS, RIPscrip and other less known technological failures).

The facts were adding up that BBS's were dying, and the internet was the way of the future, so starting in 1993, we began work with an OS called TSX-32 and it's counterpart TSX-Online, (S & H Computer Systems, Nashville TN), and set up one of the first multi-emulation multi-protocol information systems. In fact, we had the only BBS in the world that also doubled as a web server, (in 1993 there were only 50 web servers in the world, by 1994 there were 1500... the growth has exploded every year since).

Yes, we were there in the beginning. We developed a 50,000 record searchable database of zipcodes that ran on the web in 1994, (a CGI application created using a C like complied script language called TPL).

Our system could be dialed into for a telephone/modem session with plain ASCII, ASCII+IBM graphics, ANSI graphics, NAPLPS graphics, RIPscrip graphics, or, via the internal gateway, and on the same connection the user could view (HTML) "web pages".

Between 1993 and 1994 the web went from the Cern style LYNX text based browser to full blown color graphics. Mosaic ala Netscape Navigator and other protected and open source browsers were in the works --- and the world would never be the same again --- at least not the online world.

Well, the web has come a long way in the past decade. The biggest change is probably ease of use. I won't make you suffer the description of what it took to establish a TCP/IP connection on a server or a PC back then, suffer enough to say it was not pleasant.

Today LEXIPIXEL is the culmination of years of online experience. If you need anything from a simple log design to a full blown ecommerce enabled web site, a custom Perl / CGI database application, a client / server system, touch-screen kiosks, or just about anything involving connected computing, we can handle it or know the right person for the job.

Give us a try, you'll be glad you did.
