Xillent Reality: Sherdog.com’s Rise to Prominence
Founded by Jeff Sherwood out of a love for mixed martial arts and the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1997, Sherdog.com started as a small hobby Web site covering the new sport on a freely-hosted Geocities account. From humble beginnings to partnering with Crave Online and ESPN, Sherdog.com’s rise to prominence was guided closely by the hand of Xillent. As the combat sport grew under the guidance of a grassroots following despite being banned in many states and television, Sherdog.com quickly realized a demand for information and opinion. |
Gone were the days of free hosts and personal FTP accounts hosting online media. In was the unfamiliar world of dedicated hosting and real-time content management tools. Sherdog.com felt it had the people to be a major player in its industry, but lacked an online presence that reflected its reputation. In stepped Dave Boehme and Xillent. “Our need was unique in the sense that we wanted a complete custom solution for content management,” said Sherdog.com founder Jeff Sherwood. “We had outgrown our whole setup and needed something clean and fresh. Xillent accomplished and exceeded our wildest dreams.” |
“David Boehme and his company were an integral part of the growth of Sherdog.com. Without Xillent, the landscape of how mixed martial arts are represented on the Web may be different from what we see today.” Xillent redesigned the Sherdog.com Web site from top to bottom and implemented content management services that allowed the upstart business to take charge in a period of growth for the sport. *GET A FREE CUSTOM WEB-DESIGN WITH OUR SERVICES!
