About Us

OK, so you regulars will know all about Pixel-Bricks but there's some new comers who just don't know yet. Primarily, we are a pixel advertising and product review website. We also offer this blog to keep up to date with us as well as to discuss whatever we think you want to hear about; things from our own interests to specific things which we know you might be interested in. Pixel-Bricks started as just a pixel-advertising website so here's a bit more about that part of us.

We, the creators of this website, are a young couple from the U.K.. We were lying down one day talking about our future together and how we'd need to start saving for a home together. The conversation soon moved on to jobs and since we are graduates of multimedia and web design, the idea of making a website that we could run to earn a living came to us; this was the start of what was to become Pixel-Bricks.

After about a month of discussing various ideas for a website, some good, some awful, we finally came up with the concept of this website. This is the second rendition of the website as we have re-designed it. The concept for the website came in three parts. 1 - We would make a website where people could buy space to advertise their own website on. 2 - The website would have a stylish appearance, a style which would attract people of all ages and thus generate the most traffic possible. 3 - The website would be designed in a way that made it stand out from other pixel advertising websites.

We originally chose the name 'Pixel-Bricks' because the original website design was made to look like the advertising spaces that were bought acted as bricks to the overall image of a house. We thought that, by adding the links to the wall of the house, it was almost as if buyers were contributing to the building of the house; the pixels that they had bought became the bricks of this home. Though this is not the design any more, we still love the name and it still applies to pixel advertising in general. Finally, we would also make a blog to go with the website. We would use this blog to keep visitors up to date with what was happening at Pixel-Bricks but primarily, it would be a blog about different ways of making money using the internet. We realised that since Pixel-Bricks is a cheap way of advertising for a period of years then this is obviously great value and will generate our advertisers more custom, making them more money. As a result, it made sense to do a blog about how to make money online. Here's a live banner for the blog which shows the headlines from our most recent posts.

So, to summarise, Pixel-Bricks has been designed and created as a personal project of us, a young couple from the U.K.. We can think of a million different reasons for anyone wanting to make this kind of website but we feel we've been very transparent with our reasons. We're putting our skills to use in a way that enables us to run a commercial website. The website is now in it's second design form. We like to call it Pixel-Bricks V2.0. This websites offers an excellent opportunity for you to promote your own website by placing an ad on the homepage of ours. The ads that you submit will be linked to your own website, generating you more visitors.

We love this website and think it's fun to look at even though it acts as a mass collection of adverts. These advertisements are what make the site what it is; probably the best pixel advertising website on the web. So, maybe now you know more about Pixel-Bricks. If you spent some time on our website already then by now you may feel the need to purchase your own squares on the homepage. If you do, please head to the 'Buy Space' page and be part of this amazing opportunity.
