CoffeeCup Software was started inside a real coffeehouse in the early summer of 1996. Back then, good software to create cool Websites was really hard to find, so the first Website for the coffeehouse was made with hand-coded HTML using Notepad. One day, while chatting with a few regulars about creating Websites, the idea of a simple yet powerful HTML editor was born. We wanted to create a nifty piece of software that would make it easy for people like us to build our own Websites. One of the regulars was a programmer, so we got to work. In August of 1996, the first version of our HTML Editor was released.
Since the coffeehouse already had the www.coffeecup.com domain name, our first software program was called the CoffeeCup HTML Editor, and the company was named CoffeeCup Software. Yep, it happened just like that — the company was named after the HTML Editor and the Website URL..
..these Coffee sites!
