Her business needs a name
                   that reflects the advantage of experience

After a 35 year advertising and journalism career, Karin studied website design and development and was certified as a website developer by Kennesaw State University. 

The first website that Karin began to work on was developed by her brother-in-law Rich.  Karin has expanded on his initial design to reflect the ever increasing diversity of activity undertaken by The Cobb Land Trust Inc.

While development of Froghaven News Online began, Karin started work on a site for Larry's business, Adjustment Services, Inc., and building links from other appropriate sites that referenced it.  Frogncats.com first resided on six different websites and appeared to be one through links. Now it has a home of it's own.

Through a friend who is the director of a local library, Karin became aware of the Friends of the Smyrna Library, a volunteer group in need of a better website to communicate to the community.  She managed this site pro bono for several years before turning it over to a board member of FOSL.

The Georgia Perennial Plant Assoc. already had a webmaster, with whom Karin worked as the organization contact.  Now she is able to better communicate the needs of the group as well as assist in developing new pages to add to the site.

Courtyards of Vinings Homeowners Association was the first client of Karin's web development business and others have followed. 

One of the Courtyards residents introduced Karin to IPREX, an international public relations alliance, in need of a website makeover.  This project involved finding venders who could take the inquiry-based site to a new level and work with those developers to give the client the user-friendly interface that they were looking for.

A natural alliance for Karin is Scottsdale Farms Garden Center in Alpharetta, GA. The needs of this destination nursery are to develop more uses for their existing website, enhance the current site, and most importantly enhance their search engine results.  Having a website is great.  Having customers find it is even better.

Through a former acquaintance who has entered the field of secure web communications, Karin became involved with the site of Piedmont Eyecare in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Dr. Scott Phillipe wanted to offer his patients the convenience of buying their contact lenses online, so an e-commerce module was added to the Piedmont website.

Karin's niche seems to be picking up the web sites of young developer's who build it and lose interest in the boring maintenance and updates required after the fun of the creative process.

Now, Karin is networked with graphic designers, and other resources who bring a diversity of expertise to the table to satisfy the needs of both small and large clients.
