What Archiweb does

Archiweb is a privately held, full-service web design and development agency headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, founded in 1997 and operating under the legal entity Archiweb Design SRL (CUI: RO 13196856). The firm delivers end-to-end digital services including custom web design, website development (conventional sites, portals, intranets, e-commerce platforms, and database-driven applications), online branding and corporate identity, internet marketing and SEO, usability testing, multimedia/Flash presentations, and custom software development. Its core technology stack is built on legacy open-source foundations — PHP/MySQL, XML, Linux, and Perl/CGI — with Flash used for interactive media, and it vertically integrates hosting through its wholly-owned ArchiwebHosting data center subsidiary (archiwebhosting.com). The company also designed, built, and continues to host Dreamstime, a separate royalty-free stock photography community platform.

The business serves a diverse international client base spanning commercial enterprises, educational institutions, government bodies, and non-profits, with named work for Xerox Romania, Unilever, ITC Networks, Dreamstime, the Romanian Register of Architects, Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Town Planning, AdaQuest IT Services, Nomea, Cucine Italia, and others. GTM is sales-led, relying on direct website engagement, portfolio showcasing, and client referrals. The revenue model combines one-time project fees for design and development work (with package tiers from $595 to $1,295 and custom budget tiers up to $25,000+), recurring hosting subscriptions through ArchiwebHosting, professional services fees for SEO/internet marketing, and offshore outsourcing/subcontracting revenue from partners in Romania, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Geographic footprint includes offices in Bucharest, West Covina (California), Boston, and Cape Cod (Massachusetts), with services delivered to a global client base.

Ownership is private and appears founder- or management-held with no disclosed external investment, private equity, or venture capital involvement. The most recent dated external credential in the input is the Sun Microsystems iForce Partner certification awarded August 1, 1999 (License #188541). No revenue, ARR, funding history, M&A, or leadership-change data are disclosed in the available sources.
