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.
