When I realized that I needed a website, my first thought was that it would be an ordeal. I don’t know HTML language and didn’t want to learn it. For the most part I don’t even like looking at websites that feature photography. Most of them seem full of a kind of cloying self-promotion.

Meeting and working with Lisa Wagner of ArtTech Web was a godsend. She offers a mixture of talent that is rarely found in the computer world -- technical proficiency and fine aesthetic judgement. She listens carefully and makes the right choices. Not once did I ever feel that we were working at odds.

Quite simply, she enabled me to visualize the sort of thing I needed, and I’m very happy with the results.
