CrystalBlue Web officially opened in 2006. I’m a freelance designer working from my home office, currently living in Spanish Springs/Sparks, Nevada. I spend most of my time on my Mac, working, reading the latest trends and commentary on coding and design, reading blogs, and being all “web 2.0”. Before getting into design, I had a varied career in business administration and fashion...my most favorite job as high school office manager. I have a degree in Business Management. Progressively I found myself designing newsletters, brochures, and taking classes at the local university/community colleges. My husband and I raised two terrific kids in SE Alaska amid the timber and fishing industry. Once they began college out-of-state, the bills grew, as they were twins in private colleges at the same time! IN 2003, we moved "south" where they attended our alma mater, UNR, for their last two years of college. Since our move, I've been able to take more graphics communication classes to follow my passion for web design. I prefer hand coding to the what-you-see-what-you-get software. And I so enjoy CSS and javascript magic. My broad range of experience assists me in creating you a powerful, yet user-friendly website. Let's get together and create your new or fresh web vision! Note: CrystalBlue Web's logo was designed by my son's good friend, Colin Smith. He is a graphics art graduate and now pursuing a photo-journalism dream. ~Vickie, web designer/owner My skills: XHTML/Design/CSS/PHP/Standards
