Web Design
I co-own and operate a web design studio, that I work at after hours (English: After my real job). I want to share web design ideas and some humor here on this page.
I started web design while I was in the Marine Corps, one of my tasks at my last command was to convert all of our course material to HTML, which include learning HTML and basic design elements. Now keep in mind that this was in the late 90s well before web design became what it is today. We are talking about BBS services, and pages with the dancing baby on their time frame (though I would never be caught dead using the dancing baby on a web page).
Around that time frame, I converted my computer repair and service business that I ran on the side, to a web design business and moved out of the Hampton Roads area.
The web design studio that my wife and I operate has been serving area customers for over 20 years.
