| Webteam
Apart from the online horoscopes, you can find many texts on astrological topics
on astro.com which were written by some of the best Astrologers in the world
as well as our webteam. The concepts, editing and translations are mostly done
inhouse.
Our web design is an inhouse product, too, and is constantly being improved
and complemented. Since the first release of the website in 1996, it has continually
been expanded and re-designed in order to live up to the growing demands of
our visitors and the rapidly changing zeitgeist.
Programming
The horoscope interpretations and extensive applications created for you to
use over the Internet were all developed in-house by our programmers. The
first interpretation program originates from the year 1987. Since that
time some outstanding leaders of astrology service have written hundreds
of thousands of lines of computer code for further astrological programs
and Internet applications.
