Sources and credits
Where every word and image came from, what no longer exists, and the one page that uses someone else’s material.
This is an independent rebuild of the CompuVault, Inc. website. The original at compuvaultstl.com is gone: the domain now serves a Hostinger parking page. Everything here was recovered from the Internet Archive, plus one video held by the American Red Cross. Nothing was invented as a company fact.
Where each part came from
- Company identity and description — the LinkedIn company page’s structured data.
- Page copy, service detail, packages, FAQs, addresses, phone numbers and the blog — archived captures of compuvaultstl.com from 2004 to 2020, via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
- The four-slide homepage banner — the company’s own banner1-4.png files, with the caption text taken verbatim from the archived slideshow markup.
- The three packages — the company’s bronze, silverwithlock and collage artwork from its own media library.
- The four guides — the PDFs the company published in 2016, recovered intact and included with the site.
- The 2019 acquisition — Access Corp.’s press release of 29 January 2020, published via GlobeNewswire.
Images
Every image that the company published and that survived is used here. No stock photography, no third-party icon sets, and nothing generated.
- banner1–4.png (940×235) — the four homepage slides, unchanged. The navy #012351 in this rebuild’s stylesheet was sampled from them.
- thumb-1–4.jpg (117×67) — the slideshow’s own thumbnail buttons.
- bronze.jpg, silverwithlock.jpg, images_Fotor_Collage.jpg — the package artwork, at full size.
- vault2.jpg, mrdata.jpeg, offsitedatastore.jpeg, userdata.jpeg, lockdata.jpeg, cloudvault.jpeg, cloudlock.jpeg — the data, vault and cloud illustrations used across the service pages.
- compupic.jpeg, compuvault-mark.png, cyber-secure.gif — company marks.
- cvlogo.jpg, cvlogo_phone_no.JPG (470×156) — the logo, unchanged. A favicon was generated from it; nothing else was altered.
- compuvault-online-logo.png, evault_logo122x58.png — the CompuVault Online and EVault partner marks.
- mesg1.jpg, mesg2.jpg, ba11.jpg, mi1_1.jpg, mt.jpg, st.jpg, footer.jpg and the ng*.gif button set — page furniture from the company’s earliest site (2004), kept because it is the company’s own artwork.
Video
The company never published a video. Its archived site loaded only two widget types — accordion and slideshow — on every page, and a search of YouTube finds no CompuVault channel and no company video. The single clip that exists anywhere is Academy 2013: Lynne Cannon, CompuVault, recorded and published by the American Red Cross of Missouri and Arkansas, in which a CompuVault team member speaks.
Because the brief asked for video, the Videos page carries that one clip with the Red Cross’s credit, alongside eight pieces of current guidance from CISA and FEMA. Both are agencies of the United States federal government, so their work is in the public domain and freely reusable. Each card names its source, and nothing on that page is presented as CompuVault’s own material.
Design values taken from the original
The stylesheet was written fresh, but every colour in it was read out of the company’s own theme file or sampled from the company’s own banners:
- Navy (hero)#012351 · #052562 · #051e57
- Primary blue#3f96e5
- Blue variants#59a8f3 · #55a6f1 · #4690d0 · #3381c5
- Dark text#4d5055 · #45494e · #5b5d63 · #3d3f42
- Light greys#ffffff · #f7f7f7 · #f1f1f1 · #e7e7e7
- Mid greys#d1d1d1 · #999999
- TypeCalibri, from the theme’s own font stack
The original theme stylesheet is kept, unmodified, in _tools/archive/theme-css/wsigenesis-template.css. Nothing in it is loaded by these pages.
Deviations, stated plainly
- Twelve pages, not the original’s full tree. The company spread the same services over many URLs, most of which were later changed or redirected. Each of those is reachable here as an anchored section, so no navigation link is a dead end.
- The hero carousel is reproduced, not the WidgetKit plugin. The original used the WidgetKit jQuery slideshow. This rebuild uses the same four images and the same four captions with a small amount of plain JavaScript, so nothing is loaded from a plugin CDN.
- The forms do nothing. There is no server behind them. They validate in the browser and then say so. The original used Gravity Forms.
- Two facts from different years sit side by side. The company moved offices and changed its phone number: earlier pages give the Independence-era numbers, later ones give 314-329-4202 and the toll-free line. Both are shown, labelled by date, rather than silently picking one.
- Some numbers in the company’s own copy do not agree. Its About page says “over 23 years” and its FAQ says “over 25 years”, both written at different times from a 1989 start. The site says 1989 and “25+”, and this note is here because the disagreement is the company’s, not a transcription error.
- No analytics, no cookies, no cookie banner. The original ran Google Analytics; this rebuild makes no external request on load at all.
- The one thing that is not the company’s. The Red Cross video and the CISA and FEMA clips on the Videos page. Every one is credited on its own card, and the page states plainly why they are there.
