What I Do

Stuff I've Written

Internet Marketing




I follow the KISS principle of website design - Keep it Simple. I see my role as a communicator, and the more complicated things get, the less they communicate. Teaching beginners has helped reinforce this tendancy. They get tangled in frames, are intimidated by plugins and their computers blow up when they encounter Java scripts.

The first site I designed was for Alamo PC, with 4,200 members, the second largest computer users group in the western hemisphere. This is a huge site - more than a 1,000 pages - that has won numerous awards. http://www.alamopc.org

A big site that I am still currently maintaining is the peaceCENTER. After spending 15 years as a soldier, it is an honor to be able to achieve balance with service to peacemaking. http://www.salsa.net/peace

Another award winner is the San Antonio Conservation Society, home of the infamous little old ladies in tennis shoes. http://www.saconservation.org

I've done some design work for the City of San Antonio, including their Disability Etiquette Handbook, which won an award from the Los Angeles Times (http://www.ci.sat.tx.us/planning/handbook/index.htm) and the San Antonio Local Development Company (http://www.ci.sat.tx.us/saldc/index.htm). I am currently working on the City's Economic Development Department web site, which is still temporarily loaded onto my own space (http://www.texas.net/~square1/edd)

A site completed fairly recently is that of the Texas State Naturopathic Medical Association. http://www.healthytexas.org.

A labor of love is the site for Kentucky Music Week. In July you will find me in Bardstown, Kentucky, banging away at my hammered dulcimer and this website, but not at the same time. http://www.texas.net/~square1/kmw

I designed the web site for the Oblate School of Theology, a remarkable place. http://www.ost.edu. Currently, I am finishing up the Archdiocese of San Antonio's vocations web site, for prospective parish priests, and a companion site for RSBP, Religious Sisters, Brothers and Priests. http://www.archdiosa.org/vocation/

I designed the official site for the Flying Tigers American Volunteer Group. What a fascinating slice of history! http://www.intx.net/users/avgeditr

The first commercial site I designed was for the Ratite Encyclopedia. If you don't know what a ratite is, buy the book and stop sticking your head in the sand. That's a hint! http://www.ratiterecords.com.

There are more I could add to the list - but enough is enough!
