LogoWorks was pretty fun to work at as you never knew exactly what was coming down the pipe. We worked through the night, the site launched, the billboard went up, and the next thing we knew we had made the front page of MSNBC, CNN, AOL and lots of others. We had Oprah calling, newspapers, radio, television all were covering the story. The Good Morning America showed up and did a live interview with Lance and Noelle, and all the while our bandwidth pipe was completely overloaded.

This was a very good opportunity to learn what can happen to a website and all the hardware behind it when you really get busy. All of us were up for several nights moving files, restarting servers, anything we could do to keep DateLance from taking our business site down. Visit DateLance
