My Personal Rant
I have been on the cutting edge of website design for the last 14 + years. For the last eight I have been working with companies all over the world. As you know the world is getting smaller every day. Advancements in technology and communication has made it easier to work from anywhere. I work from both Grand Rapids, Michigan and Costa Rica.
Even though I could be a thousand miles away, I still provide exceptional service as if were part of your team
history
1990
The Rise of AOL
What I came to think of as the start of the internet. I remember having to convince companies why
they needed a website. Going through the yellow pages, looking for the companies with the biggest
ads. Companies willing to give me a shot with this new marketing avenue. Those days are long
gone, those days when being on cutting edge was easy. I managed to make a mark with a little
style and creativity. Adding life into otherwise boring websites
1997
Macromedia Flash(animation)
Flash was the first animation platform for the web. Finally, we could surpass traditional design
boundaries. Making websites interactive allowed clients to experience the site rather than simply
view it.
2011
Mobile
As soon as I bought my first IPhone I knew it was time to rethink website design. I started working
on adaptive websites long before the term "responsive" became trendy. Responsive design should
go without saying these days. Seems like the rest of the web is finally catching up. When you
see a company using this as selling point you can be sure they are out of date.
2012
Native Applications
Foreseeing the future, I decided not to spend energy in native applications. Not anticipating how
much power Apple and Google would leverage. They threw massive amounts of money into their monopolistic
market, leaving the free and open web behind. Fooling everyone into getting a percent on any
new idea. Finally web apps are at the level they should have been years ago. Secure, fast and
working offline. We can even port to a native operating systems if we wanted to.
It will still take some time for the app store to fade away, but at least we know the end is coming.
2016
Animation is back
Apple and google both killed flash by not allowing it to port to their OS’s. To keep the games on
their app stores ($). Humans adapt as we always do, and once again we have animation on the web.
It's' even better than before and completely open. You’re only seeing the start now. Just like
when flash first came out.

The Future
Always on the cutting edge, and constantly pushing the internet along. Now gearing up for next revolution
in graphics :) Virtual Reality. Do you want to work with someone that is always just catching
up to web trends, or one that is actually helping make them?
