Working on the redesign of Oxford Greens Golf Course I realized that “web design” has turned into combining tons of existing services & applications with 5-10% of the total time on actual design. I can’t detail how they are all connected but here is my current recipe for social media and web site integration, and getting your lost web presence noticed.

This is in addition to the expert knowledge of the full Adobe Creative Suite and all aspects of modern web site interface design, server knowledge, marketing know-how, sales and the full education of every individual entity we work for (did you think I knew what Brunello http://ilpalazzone.com was before 2005!?).

My mission is to help businesses understand and implement the latest internet technologies, trends and design.
