My web site design and build: Hats off to Bruce Van Allen
A friend said, "Call your old friend Bruce, he'll know what to do." That was very true and I cannot say enough good things about Bruce's meticulous yet succinct system for teaching web design and function using the HTML program BB Edit, and his own sketches, templates, and enlightening teaching-stories. I was able to learn rapidly from Bruce. We designed together. He built and launched some of the site. I added dozens more pages on my own and deeply enjoy having this site and expanding it. Bruce steered me away from flashy graphics done by others in favor of in-depth content that is useful, appears rapidly, and reflects who I am.
