mono.net launched in Sweden

The spontaneous joy of creating ones own universe has made building blocks a classic source of fun amongst both children and grown-ups in the physical world. With the introduction of mono, a whole new universe of fun becomes available on the Internet.

mono was presented on national Danish television in the program 'Go' morgen Danmark' on the 24th of August 2007. Here, Danish information technology officer Tim Frank Andersen provided the following comment about mono:

'mono is really easy to work with and very flexible too because the pages on the site are built from objects - in a way it is very similar to LEGO building blocks. And you have visual confirmation on what you are doing all along the way.'

mono consists of pre-defined 'building blocks' that can be assembled in all sorts of ways. With mono, ordinary people now have the possibility to design their own website, even though they do not have coding-skills or creative prerequisites.

With mono it is easy, really easy. Everybody can make their own personal homepage, whether it is a family portrait, your child's own playground, an outlet for vacation pictures and movies, your pet's own display-window, the official homepage for a sports-club, a web-shop for your company, or something completely different. The possibilities are endless, as you will find out as soon as you try it out.

What makes mono stand out from all other website-builders on the market is the user-friendly, flexible variation of things that can be done, created in a completely professional environment in which the quality of the end product is only rivaled by the ease of creating your very own homepage.

The system with the building blocks (content modules) allows for great flexibility and the possibility for creating a completely personal homepage based on exactly what you want to present on the Internet. Even if you do not have experience with the creative process of designing, mono has the solution: an array of professional design templates available to the user.
And it is the design that makes mono stand out from other web-builders. mono is based on a complex design-system which 'allows for a combination of the different content modules without everything collapsing on itself or looking ugly', as quoted by lead designer René Hedegaard Petersen, who is also one of the three founders of mono.

mono is a website-tool for the private, individual or small companies and organizations that neither have the required skills or the resources to acquire a website otherwise. mono is based on a professional web-based updating system and has undergone 4 years of continuing technological development, where focus has been placed on the design and a user-friendly interface.

The beta-version of mono was launched in 2006, 'and the preliminary feedback from our beta-users was overwhelming' said David Højelsen, developer and part of the trio of founders behind mono. Some of the feedback mono received was…

'Great stuff …. World domination to you guys for a great concept;)' - JK

'Thanks for a great product. I showed it to some friends the other day (friends who are avid coders) and they were actually quite impressed. I didn't understand any of the source-code myself but it caused a unified "Ohhhh!" from my friends. Not bad. 'ey?' -Korfits

…and has provided fuel for the mono team's desire to steadily improve and perfect mono. Even though there are other website-builders and blog-tools on the market, we rest assured that we will provide new standards for web publishing with mono.

The ideological premise for mono is to offer everybody a top-professional product, either as an advertising-funded free version or a low-fee subscription version. Through the last ten years we have developed complex online solutions and produced websites for larger companies, concerns and public service functions, but at the end of the day we feel that the Internet is for everybody. Therefore, it is our belief, that everybody should have access to a web-tool that allows actual publishing on the net. In those matters we like to think of ourselves as a modern Robin Hood. 'We have used our ten-year long experience to develop a top-professional web-tool that we now put to good use at public disposal' says Louise Lachmann, the third of the three founders of mono.
