Since 1999

Two generations of the same firm. Same phone numbers, same standards, same refusal to hand you to an account rep.

Our History [01—03]

Founded by Operators.
Handed to Operators.

  1. 1999

    Webconsuls is organized in Southern California

    Founded by Dick Fay and Dennis Helfand, both retirees from Atlantic Richfield Company / ARCO Alaska, as a boutique web firm built on long relationships instead of long contracts. Judy Helfand joined in 2006 as a full partner, deepening the firm's client-side discipline.

  2. 2015

    The next generation takes over in Los Angeles

    Dick retires. Dennis and Judy step into primary consulting roles, and Webconsuls becomes owned and operated by Malik Soomar, John McGhee, and Heidi Trow out of Los Angeles.

  3. 2018

    Webconsuls Nashville opens

    Partners put down roots in East Nashville, embedded in the community, and in 2020 bought a brick-and-mortar home on Trinity Lane.
