About WOnline

The Beginning

WOnline is one of the premier basketball sites on the net and the only Washington Wizards fan site since July of 1998. Beginning our third season, WOnline has come a long way since its initiation. WOnline began in 1998 as single page with a few links and one main article a week. Back then, it was know the Washington Wizards Report.

First Expansion

From the start WOnline was committed to being a leader in Wizards news, leading to our second site design using frames. We waited for the 1998-99 season to begin, but due to the lockout things would have to wait. Nevertheless, the lockout and wait gave us a chance to build our content.

Second Expansion

With the speed of technology, WOnline decided redesign our site to have a more dynamic look - still before the lockout season began. WOnline became larger and we had to adjust our site once more. Our new design was beautiful, winning almost 50 awards, including Tripod's Best of Pod (basketball). At this point, the site was renamed to Wizards ONLINE. This design lasted one month into the lockout shortened season. A new site was needed to ensure faster downloads, more options, and easier navigation. A new site design was made but only lasted a month because lacked appeal and structure for numerous sections.

Third Expansion

Now known as WOnline, we created a new spectacular design. But this time, along with a great design, WOnline moved forward and added informative content. Being the fourth major site design, the site was highly effective and WOnline finally had a solid fan base. WOnline used this site design for eight months. Once again, WOnline became larger and had to move a step further. It is also important to point out that at this stage WOnline became more active in communicating with other webmasters, creating a good network. This concept would become an integral key to our operations and success.

Elite Status

What you see here right now was our next step. A highly professional design, WOnline now brings unbelievable content, which could not even think of existing when we started. WOnline has added loads of features useful to every visitor, such as a search engine, newsletter, audio recaps of games, the best collection of links, streaming fresh content, a live scoreboard, streaming standings, an always updated sports section, great graphics, Washington Mystics, the best picture gallery, an online store, wizards history, the entire wizards management, mascots, cheerleaders, and the list goes on. WOnline provides the best content and has an excellent network of links on other sites, making this site reconizable community on the web. And, the future looks even brighter.
