New Main Line's Founding
In 2008, we decided it was time to put our 7 years of programming and web development experience to use for small businesses in our local area.
After scheming on names, we decided that "New Main Line" would capture the spirit of our venture - reinventing small businesses' presence on the web in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
The hardest part of the journey from solo internet entrepreneurs to freelance web developers wasn't the long hours - we were used to that. It wasn't meeting people's expectations - nobody has as high expectations as we do for ourselves. It wasn't even working on production-level websites - years of internet entrepreneurship prepared us for the largest sites. It was facing small business owners who had spent countless hours and all of their business savings on dead web-projects and who wanted to know why they could trust us or believe that we were who we say we are, being only college students and not "professionals."
The only thing we could tell them was that no class, book, or certification process can teach you how to be a great programmer or designer. It's a one-way street: you must practice and try new things and dedicate yourself fully to the art to truly excel, just like anything else. When you want to be the best, you don't care about work-hours, your social obligations, or even your paycheck at the end of the day. You have to love computers and technology, and do it solely for that love. Seven years of "programming parties," convenience store-runs at five in the morning, and pop-tarts says: Yes, we love technology, and we are ready to help your business succeed online.
