Site Re-designer Found... and Graduated

Bill Stocking, developer of this site, has done all the work on it since 1996 and he felt it was time for new ideas from an outside source.

We looked at the work of a number of web artists and print graphic artists and for the most part we were disappointed. Several had good artistic skills, but none really understood the development requirements for a standards based, website with hundreds of pages.

Finally, we were approached by Erin Bender, a third year graphics arts student at Maryland Institute College of Art, (one of the top art schools in the country), who had seen our want-ad on the site. We were initially skeptical, but after she submitted a couple of samples of re-design ideas, we were convinced she was the right person for the job.

That was a couple of years ago. Erin has since graduated, moved to Austin Tx and works for a prestigious design firm. Her spare time is taken up by outside multi-media and website projects. Real talent is always in demand!

WestHost Web Hosting

This site and all of our other websites, ( 6 of them), run on Westhost virtual servers.   90% of our client websites are hosted by Westhost.  Yes, it's priced right but it would still be a good deal at 3 times the price.  Need help ordering and setting up with Westhost?  If you order through us we'll walk you through it. Call before clicking on the banner 312-437-3777.  We've been using Westhost since it was a little company and they've never let us down!

We respect your time: This opening page should have loaded in less than 9 seconds at 28.8, and in half that time on the typical 56k dial-up connection: 5 seconds. Yes, that's fast!.

This website was redesigned by www.websiterevamp.org and content developed by First Business Systems, Ltd. It is an example of what a small business or institution should strive for in a website: Simplicity, speed and ease of use. We have deliberately tried to keep your experience from becoming "Graphically Impaired." We appreciate your feedback.

Article: Consultant Websites: What's wrong with them?

We've added a new area to the site called: Tech-Talk Here you'll find Hi-tech, Lo-tech and No-tech solutions to every-day office technology problems.

As an initial offering, we have a backup log template in PDF and Excel formats for you to download. If you don't have a data backup routine in place in your office, this would be a good place to start.
