Twilight Zen

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zen.

About Sean

Hi, I'm Sean Naden, a web designer from Auckland, New Zealand.

I'm a ‘digital nomad’ travelling around New Zealand, right now I'm in Te Awamutu, the north island.

From 2000 to 2005 I worked as the designer at Netconcepts, a US/NZ web agency specialising in ecommerce, where I learnt my trade as a web designer and front-end coder.

Around 2003 I created what was called then Vendorama, a free online store builder. It was like Shopify but Shopify didn't exist yet.

In 2005 I left Netconcepts to work full time on Vendorama. Between 2005 and 2010 the Vendorama developed with the help of some devs and sales people, to where I had around 50 stores selling. Our first sale was in November 2006 for catdoor magnets, on www.catdoor.co.nz (it is no longer running on Vendorama).

By 2010 I started working on a whole new marketplace type plartform that would become ‘Vendo’. Vendo can automatically list products from online stores running on any platform such as Shopify, Woocommerce, Magento etc.

Vendo is now a discovery shopping platform for kiwis to discover, shop and buy from local and independent retailers around New Zealand.

I still do freelance web design with a focus on online stores particularly running on the Vendo platform, like tasart.co.nz and crystallight.co.nz

Please feel free to get in touch.
