Relephant in its current form came about in 2005 by the merger of Solify Nederland (founded in 2004 by Sjoerd van Gelderen and Robert Goedemans) and Pascolo.
Relephant has grown into a broadly oriented internet agency with a clear focus on the development of search & browse sites. User friendly sites fed by complex data in large databases in which many transactions take place.
The Relephant office is situated in Amsterdam. A pleasant, open space in which our account team, project managers, developers and design unit can work closely together.
