History
May 2013
A&T Tech was launched as Alex and Tom’s Tech Advice and News as a Facebook only blog, with no website presence at all. All blog posts were published to Facebook only, in their entirety and were mainly structured to be easy to read with one or two paragraphs and ‘glanceable’.
September 2013
Alex and Ed Gaming was launched and this new site focused on gaming news, tips and mainly – gaming videos.
2014
In early 2014, the blog rebranded as Alex and Tom’s Tech and a new WIX based website was launched. At this time the site was making no money. All articles were published from then on to the new site.
2015 – 2016
The website as it is now was released. At this time the site was still operating as Alex and Tom’s Tech.
2017
Past articles from the early days were added to the new WordPress based site and the blog was rebranded again, as A&T Tech and while the Alex and Tom’s Tech brand is still around (our URL etc) the A&T Tech name will be more commonly seen.

The site was moved from shared hosting to AWS Lightsail, to better serve visitors in the US as the website was hosted in the UK.

We launched a brand new logo and design for the site. Details can be seen below:
Super happy to show off the new branding for @the_interface_ , thanks to @jsbilsbrough who designed the new logo as my design skills are lacking 😅 pic.twitter.com/7DZET6bF3N
