Portfolio: Web : 2000-Now

The Web gets Real (2000-Present)

The Web eventually re-emerged as a more mature environment. I concentrated on financial market applications because they offered the greatest interactive design challenges: Complex workflows, well-defined business case, rich functionality, sophisticated range of needs, multi-channel strategies, a committment to the integrated "portal" experience. And - of course - social networking.

The Web Gets Down to Business
The interactive online dream was still alive - and evolving - on the internet. By the mid-90's the graphical Web had caught the imagination of the world. After The Great Hiccup of 2001 even the most tradfitional businesses still continued to move their enterprises toward the Web platform.	My primary design toolset now includes Dreamweaver, Contribute, Fireworks, CSS Stylesheets, DHTML, Javascript and Flash. I design on a broad range of popular platforms: ASP, JSP, .NET, SharePoint.
Making IT Work
AmongThe Challenges Ahead has been to effectively integrate this UxP thing into the conventional Corporate IT milieu. It's a delicate dance: Evangelism and Education are a big part of the solution. We need to think of UxP as a Business.	Lately I've been involved more in addressing strategy, process, knowledge transfer, advocacy, infrastructure-related issues - liasing with CIO and Marketing about how to get best of both worlds. That's How It All Fits Together.
