Completely accountable
At start-up we committed to complete accountability for our clients online systems; we deployed all of our own infrastructure; not reselling any third party solutions.
With a single phone call, all of our clients have immediate contact with staff who are able to take ownership and provide immediate answers and solutions for their online needs.
One size does not fit all
In 2004, as Australian businesses quickly adopted online technologies as integral to their business operations, Web Prophets refined its focus to specialise in design and hosting solutions.

Over 17 years later Web Prophets services small to large Australian based businesses with their complex online needs.
Still 100% Australian owned and managed, we are one of the few remaining businesses that are dedicated to an Australian based service and infrastructure. Our solutions focus on High Availability and Business Continuity.
