Based in Chepstow, South Wales, this set of intrepid entrepreneurs launched BaseKit in October 2009, with the aim of revolutionising the world of website development.
The idea behind the business, which won Seedcamp 2008 and enjoyed a beta user base of over 5,000 users, is that you shouldn’t have to be a whizz at writing code to create rich, dynamic websites live online. The fully hosted and template-driven sites are all stored in the cloud. Investors include Eden Ventures, NESTA and Seedcamp.
