An Inside Glimpse of a Web Developer's World

Downeast Design is my own website development company. I have been building websites since the Internet was still new. I began in 1995 while working on my own personal projects and by 1997 I was employed as a full time web developer by a local Internet Service Provider. I began building websites under my own name in 1998 and have upheld an excellent business reputation since.

I have built many hundreds of websites over the years. As many sites come and go, there is always a constant flow of new ideas and business models which has given me loads of experience in the website design industry. As a web developer, I am hired to build sites in a wide variety of interests from real estate to car dealerships, from restaurants to local bands and so on. I've built sites for photographers, decorators, artists, furniture stores, massage therapists, spiritual healers, non-profit organizations, rental companies, business firms, plumbers, printers, and many other fields of interest too. The list is really too long to elaborate.

The point being, web masters get to see the inner workings of a lot of different types of businesses. With each website that I have built, I have learned a variety of new things about each of the businesses that I have worked with. It's fascinating to me to be able to reflect back on so many colorful experiences. I thought it would be an interesting concept to share some of those experiences with the general public.

The experiences that I want to share are always going to be positive. I'm not the kind of writer who would slander or reveal trade secrets. I'll provide links to the customer's web pages so that my readers can get a further glimpse of the subject that I am sharing my experiences about. Sometimes, my stories could be funny, other times strictly informative. I might share clues about individual's personalities or highlight non-related insights about things that intrigue me while working with new clients.

It's nice to learn new things, and I guess that's what this blog is really going to be about. In most cases, I suspect that I'll share new things that I picked up along the way. While these things could be new to me, they could be old knowledge to a lot of other people out there. So, the nice thing about blogging is the fact that the reader can contribute to the post with their own comments. I'd like to encourage discussions, so long as they are on target with the blogs that I write.
