Harald Martin is online since 1996. His small agency werkform is located in Lower Austria. After years of producing hand knitted homepages he switched over to wordpress. Starting his carreer as editor for a gardening magazine he joined the prepress business and – with the internet getting popular – the first websites were launched.

Switching through the different kinds of media is still a major part in working for small businesses all over austria and the countries around. Harry stumbled in the vienna wordpress community in 2017. Beside working with servers and finding solutions for his customers blogging about his greyhounds is also a part of life as rowing on the danube, which is a perfect compensation for sitting at a desk.
