It Takes a Village

It truly took a village to turn the whimsical ideas of two ordinary parents into the exciting reality of Quotable Kidz with all of the complex and sophisticated features that thoughtful parents require to keep their most precious memories safe and secure. We had to search long and hard to find a development team with the finesse and expertise that a project of this caliber requires. We are grateful that eventually, after multiple migrations, we were able to complete the website with the help of a tireless group of developers whose devotion to the project was as serious as our own love for it. 

 

Many others -- including friends, relatives, professionals, and colleagues -- helped us along the way, not all of whom are listed here. We are grateful to everyone whose thoughts, words of wisdom, critiques, shared enthusiasm, and encouragement helped us find our way over the hurdles we encountered along the way. Brothers and sisters from all around the world, once they heard about the project, just offered their help and guidance.

 

Our vision is that Quotable Kidz will bring together people from all around the globe through a shared love for and appreciation of children. The task of building and completing the website has already done just that.
