It Takes Time to Build Great Things.
About Modern Earth
Modern Earth is a team of experienced Internet experts based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our company was founded here and many of our clients and partners are in Manitoba, but our relationships have grown worldwide.
Modern Earth and our team have been delivering website hosting solutions and website development solutions since 1998. We started building ecommerce sites in 1999.
Fortunately, technologies have changed and the modern tools we use now make us far more efficient than things were in the 20th century. We specialize in WordPress and Woocommerce sites, as well as app development and portal development and customizations, including strong integrations with third-party platforms and APIs.
Modern Earth offers online marketing services such as SEO, online advertising, and content creation services. All along, of course, Modern Earth has provided web hosting services to its clients as well.
2021: The New Modern Earth
Effective June 1, 2021, Modern Earth was acquired by 100% Helpdesk Ltd. Operating as 100% Webhost, Modern Earth’s parent company is a Winnipeg-based web hosting company owned and operated by people with decades of experience in telecommunications network infrastructure, software development, and marketing. This combination brings deeper hosting expertise to Modern Earth clients and expands the range of services available to them in both marketing and development of custom web solutions. With organic growth and other acquisitions before and since acquiring Modern Earth, 100% Webhost has become the province’s largest web host.
A Modern Earth Timeline
Modern Earth was founded in 1999 by Dan Belhassen. Over the next 10 years, the company quickly became a mainstay among experienced web development firms in Winnipeg. Expanding its service offerings, Modern Earth launched SaaS products such as newsletter management platform GreatBigNews, and later moved into the online learning space.
Modern Earth Today
Since 2021, we have carefully added to our team of experts. Within the first 18 months following the acquisition, we launched over 100 updated and improved websites and web apps to better meet the needs of our clients into the future as the web becomes increasingly crucial to all local businesses.
In addition to business analysis and custom development, we offer deep expertise in developing creative measurable marketing programs on outstanding technical platforms. We excel at understanding business needs and processes and leveraging both online technologies and proven marketing strategies to help those businesses grow.
