Keeping Email Addresses Private

You can see on our contact page that we don't publish our email address on this website.  Instead, we provide a form where you can type your message, and our website will then create an email from it and send it along to us.  But why do we do this?

You are probably familiar with "spam" or junk email.  Companies that send spam also have "spider" programs that "crawl" the entire internet looking for email addreses listed on websites.  Just like having an unlisted phone number, having an unpublished email address cuts down on the amount of junk communications that you will receive.

The email address is not completely secret -- as soon as we send a reply, the original sender has the address.  But that process allows us to determine who we'd like to reply to; any real human being sending a real message will get a reply, but any spam message will not.

Every website created by Encodable Industries will have a contact page of its own, so you can protect your email address too.  We believe that if everyone treated email addresses more like phone numbers and postal addresses -- that is, if they kept them private and didn't give out their friends' email addresses -- the internet would be a better place.

Client Quotes

I just installed the demo of your product and got it up and running in no time.  I searched high and low for a decent login script and thank God I found yours.
– Adrian F.
I spent ages trying to find a way of making my own log in page for my website - if you're thinking of doing that forget it - don't waste your time!  UserBase is a 1st class product at a very reasonable price.  The software works faultlessly and can be adapted to any situation.  The service that I have received from Encodable is terrific!  I am very very impressed.  Nothing was too much trouble and I am most grateful to Anthony DiSante in particular for all his help and patience.
– Paul S.
Worked like a charm... man, this piece of software is a dream and I really appreciate all your customer service help getting this taken care of.
– Kyle M.
I just want to say you guys really stand alone in that you have a quality product and you provide genuine customer service.  It's sad but those qualities are seldom found separately, much less together.  Thanks again for your time and help.
– Alex S.
Also, I wanted to tell you that I was very skeptical about buying this script.  I've spent a lot of time and money over the past 3 months trying to find a solution that works, but I ended up having problems with so many of the scripts I tried that I was almost to the point of giving up.  But then I came across your script, and it actually does what it's supposed to.  An absolute wow.  A very impressive and powerful script indeed!  Many, many thanks!
– Mike E.
I can't thank you enough, I was up against a deadline that required me to get this up and running in 48 hours and you have probably the best customer service I've ever seen.
– Dan T.
Your scripts/software are the greatest, I mean I really love how customizable they are, how intuitive they are, and so on.  Thanks again, I love this stuff!
– Tucker O.
We searched for a long time for an application to password protect directories and allow file uploads.  Userbase & Filechucker are far superior to anything out there.  Simple yet powerful programming, extremely flexible in configuration, and great customer service.  Thanks for a superb product.
– Kat G.
Thank you VERY much for all of your help.  You've really impressed me.  We have support agreements for other software that costs thousands of dollars / year (just for the support), and most of them aren't as helpful as you have been.
– Keith Y.
There are a lot of these scripts out there, but I think they all pale in comparison to yours.
– Peter W.
The software has some great features, is well presented, runs where others are problematic and will make a good impression on our clients.  We look forward to reaping its benefits!
– Alex H.
