new media in the Berkshires

ReadWebCo is an outgrowth of NewBerkshire.com, one of the Internet's earliest online magazines, which has been covering the Berkshire arts scene since the late '90s. First registered in February 1997, "newberkshire.com" was roughly the 35,000th domain name to be created. Today, NewBerkshire.com publishes around fifty reviews per year and has an easily accessed archive of hundreds of reviews from all the leading venues, including Tanglewood, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Jacob's Pillow, Shakespeare and Co., Williamstown Theatre Festival, and Barrington Stage Company.

Our portfolio of local Google map sites:

We created BerkshireLinks.com a few years later, originally publishing comprehensive homepages for all 32 towns and cities of Berkshire county. Today, those town pages features custom Google maps and the site includes complete lodging reservations capability as well as localized career and employment services powered by CareerBuilder.com.

some features for your website

custom Google map

We can ceate a custom Google map for your website. Among the many features available are a utility that allows one to enter an address and get precise, printable driving directions to (and from) your location.

See a simple demonstration showing Lenox Town Hall on this page.

e-mail newsletters

ReadWebCo can enable you to create a user-friendly mailing list, which will make it easy (and inexpensive) for you to communicate with your customers and website visitors. It has a double opt-in confirmation process to protect the privacy of the owner of this e-mail address. We've set one up here to give you the opportunity to see just how easy it is for anyone to have their e-mail address added to the list and to remove it, too.

a word from our clients:

from David Grover:

"Dave Read's web design, customer service, and responsiveness to our specific needs has been a lifesaver over the years that we've worked with him.

He has tailored his approach for our unique needs, and our growing internet sales business has benefitted greatly from his ideas and skills."
