The History of Pixed

Pixed was a boutique IT business that specialized in web solutions and graphic design. The company’s roots stretched back to 2002 as a private one-man venture, later transitioning into an I/S company in 2007 when it was founded by Michael Hansen Buur and Michael Emil Olsen. The team was further strengthened when illustrator, graphic designer, and artist Nicolei Martin Aagaard Rasmussen joined the group.

Web Solutions & Development

Their web services encompassed everything from graphic web design to the implementation of design templates within popular CMS platforms like CMS Made Simple, Joomla, and WordPress. The team developed custom modules and extensions when specific functionality was required, while also leveraging existing solutions to provide efficient results for their clients.

Graphic Expertise

Pixed’s graphic competencies were utilized across a diverse range of projects, including:

• Music & Art: Album covers, poster designs, and custom illustrations.

• Branding: Logo design and the development of graphic identities for campaigns and events.

• Print: General DTP layout and traditional media.

The Pixed Advantage

The company’s greatest asset was its ability to offer holistic communication solutions. By bridging the gap between web-based media (websites, flash, and banners) and traditional print, Pixed ensured brand consistency for its clients while remaining a cost-effective partner.

Historical Note: The name “Pixed” and the domain pixed.com originated in March 2002, when Michael Hansen Buur first used them for various private and commercial projects. Throughout its operation, the company maintained a firm stance on its digital identity, famously declining all offers to purchase the domain.
