The Ackces Story

The Birth of Ackces

Imagine a man so powerful that simply by walking along the road he turns heads. Women look at him with awe and men stop and stare in admiration. He walks with such confidence and charisma that you just can’t help but wish that one day he will be you. He doesn’t have to drive the latest Porsche, Bentley or BMW, and he doesn’t need to flash his Gucci watch or wear an Armani suit. He is slick, he is suave and he radiates success. He is not the loudest person in the room, but has a strong sense of calm about him that creates an ethereal air of mystery that makes you want to reach out and touch him.

Now imagine a woman; one stare and you feel a shock running through your body. Women love and admire her, men wants to possess her. She has all the charm and radiance of a natural beauty. Many try to break her, but she flourishes in envy and jealousy. She smiles at you and asks: ‘Do you need any help with that?’ You find her captivating and confident, with a style that makes her look as if she has just stepped off the front page of Vogue. She is not concerned with the challenges and worries of life because she knows that where there is a will there is a way.

Now imagine a limitless pool of talent in one place, full of fashion icons, creative artists, inventors, professionals, business men, entrepreneurs and the average Joe-turned-millionaire.

A future that is yet to be born.

A network of entrepreneurs possessing such fierce creativity, intelligence and business acumen that you feel like you’ve been invited to a party attended by the next generation of emerging business talent and hosted by Alan Sugar.

Now imagine Ackces.com

Communication between business people, both up-and-coming and established, is essential to today’s generation and economy. The concept of Ackces was a special place that not only recognised talent but was a manifestation of talent itself.

Now just imagine that you had all that and more at your fingertips.

With Ackces.com the world is your oyster.

The Clash of The Internet Browsers.....

It has recently dawned on me just how much and how quickly web technology has evolved. The Ackces team have boldly gone beyond the call of duty to develop a site for all our trendsetting entrepreneurs, inventors and business users out there.

Why?

The answer is because only the best is good enough for Ackces users.
When we designed Ackces we thought of you, our pacesetting clients. What can we create to show you how much we value you, not just as a user, but as the new generation of business innovator?

Ackces users are suave and modern.

They are intelligent and ambitious go-getters.

They are always on the move and always ahead of the game.

They can spot an opportunity and know how to get what they want.

They are charismatic, elegant and live life to the full.

They are pioneers in their field and inventors within their milieu.

They are the Ackcessors: the new breed of business celebrities, renowned for their innovation and vision. These are our people, and as we always believe in finishing the race first, regardless of the obstacles we face, we have taken business networking to a whole new level.

We know that those who use Ackces are a new breed of stars: creating exclusive events, organising business meetings across a broad spectrum, advertising top of the range venues and selling products on a stylish platform already renowned for complimenting their brand.

With that in mind we got really caught up in the spirit of things. We are exceptionally proud to have on board a team of cutting edge web developers who we’ve pushed to the limits of their technical genius. On our day of launch we knew we would come up with some opposition. The Ackces site - too high tech for Internet Explorer 6 - could only be accessed through Fire Fox or Explorer 7.

What about Ackcessors that are simply too busy to update to the latest version of Internet Explorer?

Well, as the technology we use is a bit too advanced for Internet Explorer 6, we came up with a brilliant idea. We would pre-launch the site in Explorer 7, giving Ackcessors the opportunity to start building their brand or service on the site.

We will then launch the IE 6 compatible site in July 2008. Bold move right? Well we set out to push the boundaries of creativity, not the boundaries of our deadlines. In the end a sacrifice had to be made in the fight to stay true to our vision for Ackces. So what we are saying is that faced with certain obstacles you must decide on your goals and your visions for the future. Our testing caused a bit of a stir amongst users. Some were open to the temporary exclusivity of Fire Fox and IE 7 users, while others described not catering for Explorer 6 as ‘discriminating against a certain group of users’.

In a nutshell, for all our Explorer 6 users out there your time is In July. We have a treat for you that we hope you will enjoy! And if you can’t wait that long to Ackces the site, download Fire Fox or upgrade to Explorer 7. Remember that all Ackcessors are a rare breed of talent, charm and skill. As fellow innovators and modernisers we salute you, and we hope to hear your stories on the Ackces blog very soon. In the meantime, enjoy Ackces, send us your feedback, and we really can’t wait to come to one of your events!
