You’re looking for a success story on this page, you won’t find it. You’ll find something better. You’ll find the fun story of how the partnership of two brothers who were passionate in what they do grew to over 50 in only a few years with no start up capital.
Linkage Web Solution Enterprise Inc. is a Baguio-based web development and marketing agency. It was founded by the Murphy brothers, Pat and Brian, in early 2013. Pat finished Computer Engineering at the University of Costa Rica and eventually became a professional marketer while working as the main sales and marketing director for a web design agency. (This dude knows what he’s talking about.) Brian, on the other hand, grew to become a mogul in sales. (This guy is killing it!)

A story that’s worth telling
Learn how we grew from a one-man team to over 50
In a small mountain town called Baguio City
Pat moved to the Philippines in June of 2008, Brian arrived in 2009. Since then, they have developed 6 brands in the 6 years they’ve been in business, the Murphy brothers employ more than 50 amazing individuals and help hundreds of businesses every month! A few phone calls… and a few cool prototype designs later we had our first client!. Pat was so pumped. He called a developer friend he knew around town and said —– “hey, got a project for you” … and he said, yes! Pat was in business!
Pat quickly built a small web factory right out of his modest apartment. Brian joined him a few months later and the client base quickly grew. The brothers outsourced 100% of the work to developers they knew around town (as you can imagine a lot of Starbucks trolling). After a few weeks of consistent workflow, the Murphy brothers decided it was best to bring everyone under one roof… Yup, you guest it! The devs moved in a house Pat was renting. Yes, Pat’s house — (Pat’s a little cheap – but don’t tell him)
It started with one and then two until there wasn’t enough space for everyone … then we moved to an actual office and got legit In a span of 2 years, Pat and Brian hired over 30+ plus employees with over 300+ clients serviced month to month. In 2018, it our team has grown to over 50 employees, 2 locations in the Philippines ( one in Baguio City and the other in Angeles City), and 600+ clients serviced monthly.
Our direction is positive, and we live for setting the bar high when it comes to standards!
Yeah, We keep ourselves busy...
The brands we’ve established over the past 6 years!
We’ve been developing websites for customers since 2012!
Over 6 years of awesome, quick & affordable work. We currently have two branches in the Philippines,
over 50 employees & we’ve serviced thousands of customers since our inception.
Linkage Web Solutions Enterprise Inc, was founded by the Murphy Brothers in 2012 (Pat Murphy & Brian Murphy).
Pat started a small outsourcing business right out of his home office in 2011. He just left his job as VP in Sales for a big tech company and with a baby on the way and bills to pay, he knew he had to keep up with the constant pressure of life. Working out of his office with a shitty laptop, Skype and Trello! He outsourced 100% of his work to developers he had made friends with around town, essentially living by the day off of the sales he produced.
Brian Murphy was working as a sales manager for a large web development company in the Philippines. Several phone calls later, Brian joined Pat and together started Linkage Web Solutions Enterprise Inc. ( a Philippine Corporation) The company immediately hired 1 project manager, 1 sales rep and 2 in-house developers that worked right out of Pat’s house, Monday through Saturdays.
The Murphy Brothers then created a United States LLC called Custom A Design which was created to market their services to US customers through a website & marketing subscription called “Hybrid Solutions”. This subscription model enabled us to grow our staff, move in to a nice office and also cater to local businesses in the Philippine market.
2015
Now with 30+ employees, 350+ clients and an office in the heart of Baguio City in Northern Luzon. Linkage Web Solutions Enterprise Inc, had become one of the leading web companies in the Philippines, specializing in custom web development. Another expansion was in place … our 2nd branch is opened in Angeles City, Pampanga that same year!
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”
-Henry Ford, Ford Motor Co.
2016
Sales hit an all time low! It was heart-breaking… After growing so quickly our sales process could not keep up with fast paced SaaS based businesses that were popping up everywhere! Aside from that, the super quick expansion from the previous year took a huge toll on the company financially.
Because of this, we learned our most important lessen in life … never try to scale a model that is not scalable.
2017
2017 was also the year we rebooted as a better organization! We survived the hardships of 2016 and were ready to turn our situation around.
Want to know how we did it?
We started providing white-label services to web development companies and individuals that had e-commerce related businesses. This small change in our system helped increase our sales over 300% that same year!
This goes to show you, that identifying the RIGHT AUDIENCE for your product or services is decisive to finding success in your business.
