History

WebAssist was founded in the 1990s by Ray Borduin, Hieu Bui, Neil Hansch, Matt Eastling, Tom Gade, Eric Ott, and Tim Sweeney. Ray Borduin, WebAssist’s President, started as the sole employee building software extensions in his garage located in Carlsbad, CA. The first product produced by Ray Borduin was called Line Maker, which was built for Elemental Software’s web development platform Drumbeat. Ray Borduin also produced a variety of eCommerce applications for Drumbeat, one of his core competencies leading up to the development of eCart a current product of WebAssist.

Soon after Elemental Software was acquired by Macromedia, Drumbeat was discontinued and Dreamweaver Ultradev was released. At this time Ray Borduin switched his focus to Dreamweaver, moved to an office in Solana Beach, CA and built the company’s first Dreamweaver extension named Cookies Toolkit. WebAssist has also been located in Encinitas, CA and San Diego, CA where the company is currently headquartered.
