Well, it's New Year's Eve and the clock is fast approaching 5pm. I'll be leaving here soon, not to return until 2008. I hope all of you had a wonderful and productive 2007. For Element Fusion, it has been another banner year.
2007 was our first full year with the Water, Sky and Light content management system products. Introduced in mid-2006, these products really came into their own over the past year. Growth has been phenomenal. Our total number of websites on the system more than quadrupled over the past year and we are at nearly 9,000 websites running on Water, Sky and Light.
2007 also brought amazing growth for our Light reseller network. The number of designers with at least one paid website on our system increased by an astounding 1600% over the course of 2007, even exceeding our very ambitious goals for the year. It is so exciting for us to be working with so many wonderful and talented designers who hail from all around the globe.
Speaking of all around the globe, 2007 really expanded the geographical reach of Element Fusion. What once was a local company in Oklahoma City has now gone truly international. We have paying products customers in 41 states and 7 countries. We even opened up our first remote office location in Houston, Texas this year, which is now staffed by three of our internet consultants. Our reach is expanding rapidly and will continue to expand in 2008.
So, even though we say it often, I'd like to just say it again here at the close of business for 2007 -- thank you all for your continued support, your continued trust, and your continued business. You are the reason we are here, and we will continue to work hard to serve you and meet your needs in 2008.
There is much in store for the coming year. So much that I am very excited to get going. So, enjoy the New Year's holiday with family and friends, and I'll see you back here on Wednesday as we rush forward to discover all that 2008 will bring.
