HistoryThe company was founded in January 1995 by Carl Pritzkat, Michael Rhodes, and Tony Travostino.[1] The first headquarters were out of Michael's apartment in the Meatpacking District, Manhattan. In 1998 Alan Emtage, creator of Archie the first Internet search engine, joined the company. Since then it has worked to produce several hundred websites, with clients ranging from small not-for-profits to large multi-national corporations. For a period the company operated a string of LGBT sites under the moniker 'The Datalounge Network'. These included HomoRama.com, Gayvote.com, GayHealth.com, SouthernVoice.com and HoustonVoice.com.[2] In January 1995 BMG Entertainment launched the Internet's first e-commerce site featuring an entire record label catalog, ecmrecords.com which Mediapolis engineered and operated until late 2004. Other notable sites created and operated include yourpharmacy.com for Express Scripts,[3] grandparents.com, and VolvoForLifeAwards.com for Volvo. In early 2010, Mediapolis was part of a team that purchased Publishers Weekly[4] from media conglomerate Reed Elsevier. It built and operates the website.
