A little history

Back in 1999 the web was still a pretty new, wild frontier and it was into this environment that webqem was born; bringing rock-solid, professional IT experience to online solutions for Australian business. Over 20,000 projects on, this approach of practical, applied expertise has proven itself time and again.

Growing steadily and sustainably year-on-year since inception, webqem has built a reputation providing online solutions that solve business problems - bringing together the best web platform technologies from trusted global providers like Adobe, Ooyala and Magento.

Some of our relationships with our clients now extend back over a decade, and in web years that's a lifetime.
