Announcements from Net Age: new tools, product launches and what the team has been building.
This is where we share our own news: product launches, new tools and the projects the Net Age team has been building for our clients and for ourselves.
Recent announcements include the new and improved RetailX, the AI powered search behind Crazy Plastics, the launch of blog.gogee.ai as the content platform behind our clients'' articles, and GoGee''s website replays and AI assessment, which let you optimise your website with evidence rather than guesswork.
We have been a Cape Town digital agency since 1999, so this category also holds a long memory of how our work, and the web itself, has changed over the years. For industry news rather than company news, see the Google, social media and online marketing categories.
