Story
The story goes back to the middle of the 19th century.
At that time, a shipbuilding was a vital industry. For a small region with a few ports, anchorages, and islands, making boats, various sizes and capabilities, was the main specialization of the region.
Boats were popular among people. Usually, people used them for fishing and carrying various products. Also, boats were good source of a competitive advantage for businesses.
Many people were involved working in the field of shipbuilding, ranging from small workshops to large factories. Thus, the market was full of different vessels providing people an ability to choose.
In that time, there was a man. He had a passion for creating and designing things. Friends called him craftsman.
The craftsman was also a dreamer. He loved to meet sunsets in a backyard of his house. While meeting sunsets, he also liked to watch ships and boats swimming around the bay.
It was extremely soothing to the soul, making his mind quiet and helping him to enjoy the moment. It was his way of meditation.
The craftsman always wanted to make own boat — simple, yet with a great focus on quality and details. He wanted to make the process of using boats more enjoyable for everyone.
So, one day the craftsman built a workshop near the house to move from dreaming to actions.
He spent days and nights in a workshop prototyping an ideal boat. After some time, the workshop started to produce boats for use.
It was not a massive production. The craftsman did not have a goal to produce as many boats as possible. It wasn’t not about quantity but rather about quality.
The quality of boats was the main reason why people liked to use his boats over and over again.
So, what is the connection between WordPress and boats, and how is shipbuilding related to this website?
Let’s look on this story from a different perspective.
Nowadays, websites play a vital role in our lives. Many companies, ranging from small studios to large agencies, are now specializing on building professional websites.
The Internet is full of websites.
In our modern life, the Internet is like a huge ocean where many websites are like boats, helping us with wider range of things.
Themes Harbor is a small but creative workshop in the bay area, spending days and nights on crafting digital goods for professionals, and always choosing quality over quantity.
