our story
We are well established website design and development company based in Beachwood, Ohio, just east of Cleveland. The company was formed by Brian Ferritto and Hany ElHibir in early 2002. We met while working together and soon realized we both shared the same entrepreneurial passion, shortly thereafter we formed 42connect.
We each bring something distinctive to the business that is built on our passion for the web, our diverse backgrounds and experiences. This passion and unique business process set us apart and allow us to partner with a variety of clientele.
Most importantly we treat our clients like friends and build long lasting relationships. We try to work with our clients, not just for them.
So what's with the name 42connect?
Brian was born and raised in Mentor, Ohio about 30 minutes east of Cleveland and Hany spent much of his life throughout Europe but calls Selce, Croatia home, where he spent much of his youth. With little in common other than our passion for the web and technology we share a specific latitude line found on most maps. It's called the 42nd parallel and is a line that runs east and west and just happens to intersect or "connect" our home towns.
After many months of trying to come up with an original name, 42connect seemed a good fit.
