About Us | PageLeap
Once upon a time — in the leafy suburbs of Connecticut — a tech entrepreneur named Will Pemble built a small web hosting company that grew into Web.com, one of the largest web hosting giants in the world. Along the way, he mastered the entire internet infrastructure stack: hosting, domain registration, server architecture, and scalable system design. After selling Web.com and pioneering innovations like private domain registration (Perfect Privacy), Will set his sights on a new mission: helping businesses win on the internet with better, faster, smarter tools.
Meanwhile, half a world away near Sydney, Australia, Chris Watts was busy making waves of his own. A cyber security expert, embedded hardware specialist, and seasoned full-stack developer, Chris brought a rare polymath skillset to the table — equally at home writing software, architecting networks, or engineering complex systems from the ground up. His career spans roles as a programmer, network engineer, systems engineer, and cloud architect, with experience at major Australian ISPs and even Sony, where his passion for technology and innovation only deepened. Chris has discovered critical vulnerabilities in Cisco, NetComm, Netgear, TP-Link, and many other devices, contributing to the security of global tech systems. Whether building solutions, designing infrastructure, or reverse-engineering hardware and firmware, Chris is known for finding elegant answers to complex technical challenges.
Destiny (and a few well-timed consulting gigs) brought Will and Chris together in Sydney. They immediately bonded over a shared belief that "good enough" is never good enough. From that first handshake, they were determined to build systems that didn’t just work — they excelled. Systems that didn't just meet the minimum standards — they redefined them.
For years, they explored the web hosting and digital marketing landscape, only to find the same frustrating truth: landing pages and business websites were slow, clumsy, underpowered, and shackled by lazy engineering. Worse still, the industry seemed fine with it. Mediocrity had become the norm.
Will and Chris refused to accept that.
They dove headfirst into research, prototyping, late-night debates, and global brainstorming. Their conclusion was clear: if they wanted a faster, fairer, more open web for local businesses, they'd have to build it themselves.
PageLeap was born — not in a boardroom or a venture capital pitch deck, but in data centers, code editors, and coffee-fueled war rooms across two continents.
Today, PageLeap is not just another tech platform. It's a full-stack movement.
Built 100% in-house — from silicon to signal. No rented intelligence. No resold solutions.
Designed for speed and accuracy — because slow websites are invisible websites.
Focused on real value — making it easier and faster for businesses and users to connect.
Powered by real engineers — not slide decks.
PageLeap launched with 100,000 listings as a "small test." It now spans over one million listings and counting. And it's just getting started.
We’re building the world’s largest AI-powered local business database to make sure every business can be seen, found, and thrive without getting lost in a sea of noise.
