Cookware was founded in 1982 to help organizations fulfill their computer software needs. From 1982 through 1991 Cookware led the industry in advanced Computer Graphic services. Our solutions in Computer Aided Design, Advanced Image Processing and Entertainment Graphics has touched practically everyone, from the clothes they wear to the TV they watch.

In 1992, 10 years after it was founded, Cookware began an aggressive push towards providing Internet solutions, and as such was one of the first companies to successfully accomplish distributed, interactive, real-time graphics over the Internet, with the completion of the SLADE project which was presented at the 1992 Siggraph conference.

With the advent of graphical access to the World Wide Web in 1993, Cookware began applying Graphic and Internet knowledge into designs of advanced World Wide Web capabilities. In 1994 Cookware successfully completed an interactive Web Surfing Kiosk prototype for the United States Postal Service. The technologies required by this project sparked what in 1995 became Cookware's GATE services. GATE is helping to redefine the abilities of the Web by extending fully interactive services to Web site development at affordable prices.

In 1995 Cookware owners Deborah Sellers and David Cook wrote a popular book for Que Publishing entitled Launching A Business On The Web. The first edition has been published in English, Spanish and Korean. The second edition was released late summer 1996.

In 1996, Cookware continued it's commitment to the industry by moving from a sole proprietorship to a fully incorporated business and by aggressively going after content based applications.

In recent years, Cookware has extended WWW technology, by introducing enhanced features to GATE including HOLMES site searching software in 1996, IShop/InstantProducts in 1997 and PictureThis in 1998. Mid-spring of 1999 brought about another leading custom site, Hilo-Brokers of Hilo, Hawaii, featuring an updated look and on-line real estate listings with over 5000 property listings being updated daily.

The summer of 2000 included an extensive re-design of 1stBooks.com one of the leading on-line books services. The spring of 2001 launched a long time dream of bringing Bill Romanowski's game Tranquility to the Web and Apple platform. The summer of 2001 saw the re-design of Dolphin Bay Hotel which features data-mining software allowing third party information to be seamlessly integrated to the site. Our lastest project for the Volcano Art Center features our latest technology, StarGate, for online shopping, database management and content delivery.
