Where your ideas connect
Our story
ideaPort LLC began in 1995 as Teacher's Pet Software, a small company that developed a security application that locked down the Windows desktop, giving teachers and librarians the ability to protect their computers from the nimble fingers and prying minds of their clever students. In 1996, the company changed its name to ideaPort.
In 2000, the company shifted its primary focus from building desktop applications to developing web applications. The company evolved into an LLC in 2006 and continues to develop and maintain Web sites for current and new clients.
