Who we are ...

Currently this blog is run by employees of Xparo GmbH, a web agency located in Nuremberg Germany. We specialize in the whole process revolving around website creation (from requirement specifications, over modern web design, to implementation and user support). Our technical focus lies with Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET or Silverlight and we use several products and frameworks in our daily business like SharePoint 2010, contentXXL and Sitecore (both .NET based content management systems). We're also open for giving other stuff a try, e.g. Wordpress.
