Waldo Webster Email & Phone Number

I’ve been creating and running businesses since I was 12 years old and the best part has always been watching others consume and interact with something I’ve created. I first taught myself how to program when I was 9 years old and I have been making websites since then. My first business was selling “marshmallow guns” to friends when I was 12. It basically consisted of PVC piping that you would stick a hot chocolate size marshmallow in and use your mouth to blow air to propel it at others. I made a batch of them and brought them to a birthday party and word spread fast about them around school. I couldn’t build them fast enough as class mates were throwing around lunch money to get their hands on one.In 2008, I was 18 years old and I started my business Impressive Click, during a recession. I was so motivated to own my own business growing up, I wasn’t going to let anything stop me. Not even a recession.The first few years were pretty tough, just like any small business. I was just a kid, knocking on doors trying to prove myself as an experienced website designer and developer. People were reluctant to give me their money at first. It was a pivotal moment in my life. I felt at a crossroad. All my friends were getting paid a lot more money at these deadbeat jobs and going out every weekend while I couldn’t even afford to put gas in my car. There was a moment I had where I seriously considered quitting and getting a job working minimum wage. Thankfully some friends and family convinced me to keep on going.Now when I look back at the moment, I feel so much relief for not quitting. I proved something to myself during that time, that I can get through anything.Shortly after that momentum started to kick-in and one client turned into three, I started to make a name for myself around town. By year 5 I was turning down business and all my opportunities were coming from referrals. It was the first time I wasn’t worried about where my next paycheck would be coming from. It was a huge relief.Now, over 15 years later, I've worked on thousands of websites including work for large Fortune 500 companies like Colgate-Palmolive, Altria, Philip Morris International and Dover. Taking my knowledge in helping small businesses grow, I’ve owned, operated and sold several other businesses in the past decade. Besides Impressive Click which occupies my mornings, I also own and operate a local adult athletics community called Savannah Adult Recreation Club (SARC) which has serviced about 8,500 members in Savannah, Georgia.
