"I love the Where In The World imaging, it's spot on. It made the promotion sound huge. - Kevin Howard, Programme Director, Century Radio
Why are you called Devaweb?
The name "Devaweb" goes back to our roots in Chester, Deva being the name that the Romans gave to the town. Round there, everything has the word “Deva” in it… from Deva Cabs to Deva Print, and Chester City FC’s mighty new home, the Deva stadium.
As for "web", well a long time ago Devaweb made websites. However, we soon discovered that nobody wanted our websites. The jingles though were more popular but by then the name had stuck. So, “Devaweb” it is!
Where are you?
That varies. Our two main bases are are in Chester, UK, and Dallas, Texas, USA. We travel a lot. Luckily, our laptop-based portable studio also allows us to produce much of our material as we travel. Obviously, though, all the highly involved stuff concerning keyboards, sound processors and so on happens in our less portable set-up!
We like the idea of Devaweb being a portable set-up. Why should it matter where we are? We want to serve everyone, and through the power of the internet, we can.
Who works for Devaweb?
Various people at various times. Chris is the founder and force behind it all, Wim looks after the technical infrastructure of our studios and IT systems, and Rachel keeps an eye on the paperwork much of the time. There are also various freelancers working for us. We use them when we require their specialist skills or when the workloads are particularly high.
