We’re a Web Design Company?! So what’s with all the sailboats?

Business By Robert K. Foster

Some people may find it strange that the title of our company is “Windjammer”, especially as we are based in Michigan, USA. Originally we would get a lot of enquiries from people who thought we were “Windjammer Barefoot Cruises”. We are not that company or related in any way to them except in similarity of the name.

The owner’s background was in the Northeast United States where sailing was a frequent pastime, especially in our youth. We love old tall ships and felt that they were the perfect symbol of the entrepreneurial spirit that built this country. Thus the name “Windjammer Company” was born.

For a more verbose explanation you might want to read our introduction for the Company Blog.
