CommonPlaces e-Solutions is a web development and strategic planning firm that’s been putting businesses and organizations online since 1998.

We’re no strangers to the web, and will take on any new challenge. We provide solutions that fit your needs, budget and timeline, and the guidance to bring you online success.

History

CommonPlaces was originally founded in 1998 to provide hosted, Web-based solutions to over 250 colleges and universities. CommonPlaces developed sites such as SixDegrees.com (creating the technology that became the basis of LinkedIn.com), Teen.com, and MyBytes.com (an early precursor to sites like Facebook).

In 2003, CommonPlaces re-emerged as a premier open source development firm. Today, CommonPlaces has evolved into an organization with experience in successfully delivering solutions to businesses and organizations of all sizes.

About Our Name

The name “CommonPlaces” stems from the Boston Commons, located near our original office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Commons’ famous gazebo inspired our original logo, which has since been retired in 2011. The Boston Commons represents a central location for citizens of all backgrounds to meet, and we build such venues on the web: common places for people to gather.

About Our Logo

Every web project has different challenges and potential roadblocks. The CommonPlaces approach is designed to minimize risk, and our process helps clients navigate the twists and turns in a fluid manner, leading you on the path to online success.
