The Legend of Action Verb

Action Verb was founded in a Harvard University dorm room in 2007. Today, Action Verb operates two successful web infrastructure products that are used by thousands of people.

We aren't copycats.

When designing features for our products, we never look at our competitors for inspiration. We sit down and build exactly what would make us happy if we were in the shoes of our designer partners and customers. And we know exactly what those shoes feel like, because we stare at websites all day.

Our customer base is broad.

We have customers and designer partners from 23 U.S. States and from 13 international countries. Our infrastructure is designed to be as useful in Beijing as in Boston.

We aren't going anywhere.

Though we aren't billionaires, Action Verb is cash-flow positive and profitable. As we grow, we reinvest our profits into continued development and expanded customer service. We firmly believe that slow and steady wins the race. We've never taken funding from outside investors (except a small amount from family), so we're not looking to "cash out" at the expense of our customers. We've been here for three and a half years, and we want to be around to offer our products forever.



Get Rich Eventually Scheme

We reward web professionals for recommending Action Verb products to their clients.

Our Designer Partner Program for Vae Platform pays up to 30% of the monthly hosting fees from your referred clients back to you, the web developer. We also have a White Label Reseller Program for Vae that allows you to resell the platform and set your own prices.

Every year, we pay thousands of dollars to our partners. We would love for you to be a part of it.

1. Response time is the time between when we receive a request and when we respond with either a resolution or a schedule for development (for new development).

2. Our business hours are 10AM-6PM PST. Requests requiring action or availability outside these hours shall carry a minimum billing increment of 1 hour and will be billed at double the normal rate (calculated by multiplying the number of hours by 2). Except in genuine emergencies that are our fault, such requests are subject to availability.

3. Our developers are located in various cities, so will probably need to travel. In person meetings have a minimum billing time of 3 hours. Travel time is billed as actual time, with a maximum of 10 hours per day. Hotel and airfare costs will be billed through to client.
