• 7500 rubles were spent on the initial design of the site, which we developed a web studio, we did not even begin to impose it. The second design cost us 10,000 rubles, but we changed it two months after the opening. We no longer turned to web studios.

• 2 years since the opening of the site. Our date of birth is January 16, 2006. Can I take it as a "startup" - I do not know. A lot has been done in two years, both in terms of site functionality and its promotion. We organized parties for 1C programmers, held the first bowling tournament “Roll the balls - do not automate”, rolled on a yacht in the Gulf of Finland. In principle, there is something to remember.
  
  
• 1 programmer. A single programmer worked on the portal's functionality all this time, we keep his name secret, as he has the main work. The whole portal engine was written by him from scratch. There were several attempts to switch to a standard CMS, but each time they stopped. I still do not know whether it is right or not.
