Hello,
We're a new cloudy startup.

We started at 27th january 2012. Only    days ago.

We're working hard on our office layout and our products for web publishing.
You can follow us on this page.

It's like sometimes not knowing how crazy something is... is a good thing.

Day 1: 27th jan - Corley birthday!

What is Corley?

Corley is an italian startup focused on web and cloud development, founded by Gabriele & Walter.

We're working hard on our product line: we'll provide a complete cloud-based content management system (Cloud Corley CMS) that is now under packaging and final release.
We're also working on UpCloo, a cloud based and fully hosted indexing engine that helps you to create incredible and automatic correlations between contents of your website.
