Founder of plantify.co.uk
Plantify.co.uk is the brain-child of Peter Laughton, a former entertainment software executive who developed a passion for gardening as a stress relief from his high-pressure job. “I believe that anyone can create a beautiful garden without an expensive landscaping make-over but by cleverly designing with plants.”
Plantify.co.uk utilises the power of database technology to provide a tool that empowers gardeners of any skill level to design their own garden. “I hope to make gardening more accessible to young families and other people who currently shy away from it because they don’t know where to start.”
Plantify.co.uk is one of several ventures by Windsor-based Vorsprung Ltd which develops web based applications that enable databases to be quickly and easily managed and updated through a web based front-end. A unique easy-to-use interface and search algorithm are complimented by a user-managed editorial system to help drive the quality of its content. This software is being utilised in a number of environments, ranging from e-commerce through to serving web-pages.
