WordWeb Software is based in Cambridge, UK and run by the main developer, Antony Lewis. International versions are usually supported by native speakers based in a target country, and international sales are handled by the third-party companies ShareIt, SWREG and PayPal.
Crossword Compiler has been the world's leading crossword making software since 1993. There is a wide global user base encompassing teachers, web publishers, professional constructors and enthusiasts. The solving applet is used by many web sites all over the world, from Portuguese crosswords on web portals in Brazil, to The Times and Independent newspaper sites in the UK, to crosswords for teaching English in Korea. Crossword Compiler is used by most of the professional crossword constructors in the USA, and the file format is widely recognised for crossword submissions. Many schools, universities and training institutions recognize the advantages of the program for creating fun educational puzzles.
The WordWeb dictionary and thesaurus is widely used internationally, with over 3 million downloads of the free version and a much smaller base of users of the full Pro version. It is one of the main high-quality electronic references for international English, with the free version especially appreciated in developing countries.
If we have work available the project will be listed on GetaFreelancer.
WordWeb Software has very low environmental impact, with the majority of sales being entirely electronic. Although we do offer CD-ROM versions of products, we do not encourage people to purchase them. There are no dedicated office premises, no flights or long-distance travel has ever been taken on WordWeb Software business, and electricity is provided entirely from renewable energy sources. Our main web hosting service (pair Networks) claims to be carbon neutral. At least $1000 US of profits is donated annually to charities such as CoolEarth to ensure the small remaining greenhouse-gas impact of our business (mainly heating and computer hardware) is significantly over-offset by forest protection or other emission reduction schemes. We also aim to donate at least 10% of annual profits to charitable causes via the WordWeb Trust (managed by CAF).
