One Small Step for a Client, One Giant Leap for a Web Developer
You know what they say, sometimes you have to crawl before you can walk – or something cliché like that. Regardless of how you say it, the opportunity to design a micro site for Nolan Securities and Investigations (NSI) gave me a chance to test the waters of web design without the challenges associated with putting together an entirely new site. NSI, the area’s largest, most-trusted event security provider, is gearing up for a hiring surge as they recruit candidates for large upcoming sports events. A scaled down version of their primary site, it is only three pages, built...

I often say that networking for business on Facebook and Twitter is like going to a singles bar. Lots of people to talk with, some duds and some great conversations.

And just a few days ago, Roundpeg hired me as a production artist. This means that I’ll work mainly with our Creative Director Jenna on graphic design projects.

This week we experienced a Roundpeg first, as client Karl Volkmar of UHAS Inc, stopped by with flowers. The reason for his lovely gift? We were able to solve the challenge of moving his web site to a new server. It helped that we had built the site in WordPress to begin with and were happy to help. The flowers were just a nice touch. What else have we been up to this week? Check out our recent posts and see: Saturday – Faces of Roundpeg: My Brother Jason Words of wisdom from Lorraine’s big brother.
