Directory One Named Largest Among Houston-Based Web Design and Development Companies for Second Consecutive Year

HOUSTON (September 17, 2007) — For the second consecutive year, the Houston Business Journal has named Directory One the largest web design and development firm in Houston. The firm, which has been in operation since 1996, is dedicated to providing nationwide businesses with an affordable, multifaceted approach to a profitable—or more profitable—website.

The company helps businesses in this endeavor by creating personalized website marketing solutions, which largely consist of determining the best way to design, maintain, and promote each client's website. They provide several services to help clients achieve success in these areas such as: website design, search engine marketing, web hosting services, domain name registration, database integration, dedicated servers, email services, internet education, and technical support.

As of late, the company has seen much growth, largely due to an expanded staff and the customer-friendly nature of founder and CEO, Philip O’Hara.

O’Hara, who got his start as a Yellow Pages advertising consultant, takes a straightforward approach in dealing with customers, often meeting with them and encouraging them to call his personal cell phone to discuss Directory One's service offerings or other marketing information directly. As he has been in years previous, the humble business owner is thrilled about the news and the continued success of his company. “I love what I do and the people I work with,” he says.
