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

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.

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 When you see a company using this as selling point you can be sure they are out of date.

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.

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?
