Architosh Growth & Strategic Position

Architosh.com has seen dramatic growth since its inception in February 1999. Staying focused on just the Macintosh market has given Architosh a unique place in the online Macintosh and CAD news market and a respected standing in the industry community at large.

Going forward Architosh will continue to remain focused on alternative platforms in the CAD/CAM/3D/AEC industries, with particular focus on Mac OS X and its UNIX cousin the Linux operating system on PowerPC hardware. These two platforms combined will represent the fastest growing OS's in the CAD/CAM/3D/AEC industries.

Architosh is currently serving over 17,000 unique readers monthly in over 70 countries worldwide. Our readers are primarily architects, engineers and 3D professionals and are dominantly 'final decision makers' in IT director roles or principal/owner positions. Architosh obtained demographic data on our readers in 1999 in an optional and random reader survey form.

In the past six months alone Architosh has doubled its page impressions, and has tripled its readership since the year-ago quarter. Architosh is now one of the largest independent CAD/3D/AEC sites in the world, with a monthly page impressions count one quarter of the size of independent CAD portal leader TenLinks.com.

Architosh is the world's leading IT Web site for Mac-based CAD/CAM/3D/AEC professionals. We intend to stay both dominant in our niche site role as well as become larger in the overall CAD and 3D Web site market going forward.
