Not only that, but we reimagined our project management platform and launched TeamworkFX which is home to projects and communication across the team.

Expanding the Campus! We Bought FX3!
We feel extremely fortunate for our growing team, and for that growing team, we needed to expand our office space! We bought FX3, which is located just behind FX2, to accommodate our growing team.
This amazing space was brought to life by general contractor Poole Anderson and architect Chris Dawson.
We love the modern, vibrant vibe, the Harrisburg mural, and the fishscale backdrop in our video recording studio! Did we mention we have a shuffleboard table, now?

Growing Again! We Bought FX2!
Bill’s baby (WebFX) was growing quickly – almost too quickly for the mansion to contain us! We had no choice but to buy another building – one that is right next door to the mansion, and has become known as FX2!
This building is home to a giant basement kitchen and communal area, tons more meeting spaces, and our new coffee bar! The decor is as unique and fun as our team, and even has a pool table on the top floor!
FX2 and The Mansion are connected by a cozy little atrium, and we love to play golf on our private turf course between buildings! It’s also a great place to have cookouts before Senators games, or kick back for lunch when there’s a food truck!

These major milestones happened between 2014 and 2017!

WebFX Bought a Mansion!
With our expanding team, it was time to think big. Our small office space in Carlisle shifted to a historic mansion on Front Street, which was built in 1895, with the space to accommodate our growing team. It has fondly become known as “The Mansion” or “MansionFX”!
The Mansion has tons of cool elements that we love – for example, on the first floor, one room has a mural of Harrisburg painted by a local artist! Another one of our favorite features of the mansion is the penthouse, along with our wrap-around, rooftop deck! It’s perfect for watching the City Island fireworks on the Fourth of July, or a great place to kick back after a long day and watch the Susquehanna roll on by!
In the beginning, The Mansion wasn’t quite habitable. But we changed that! We wasted no time with renovations – and there were a lot of them! The governor of PA even stopped by to check out WebFX. Check out some of the original photos of the mansion and see how much we’ve changed!
2012
WebFX is a fast-growing company!
2012 was the first year that we made the list of America’s fastest-growing private companies! We were pretty excited, considering companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Zappos.com, and more were on the list! With over 7 million private, employer-based companies in the U.S., we were extremely proud to be among the top!
We would go on to make the list in 2014 and 2015, too!
2006
Tiny Little Office
WebFX got its humble beginnings in a small office space in Carlisle, called the Murata Business Center. The small team shared the office space with over 100 other workers that weren’t a part of WebFX. It was the perfect office space for our small team of 24! Did you know that 10 of the original team members are still with us today? They’ve got to see the business grow from the ground up – that’s pretty cool!
What do those team members remember about the old building? Take a look!

How did WebFX start?
Co-founders Bill Craig and Karie Shearer started WebFX with humble beginnings. Like many of the tech giants, WebFX began as a bootstrapped company in a college dorm room in Naugle Hall at Shippensburg University. Shippensburg University had just begun offering free website and application hosting on university web servers and this early access helped WebFX become one of the first web development providers in Pennsylvania.
