About Colebank.communications
Mark
has had a long facination with computers and
in the 90's saw the coming wave of change they
would bring. So when the Internet began to
dawn in the public consiousness in 1996, Mark
quit his job and bought a book on HTML. Armed
with that and a PowerMac 6100 he began freelancing
and learning how to develop web sites. Back
in the day of Netscape 3.0 browsers and 28.8
modems, things were simple by todays standards
when web design consisted of hand coded HTML,
Photoshop produced jpegs and gifs, CGI
forms, and a splash of javascript and Flash.
In those early days he worked with Newfangled
Graphics and RTP as the dot com bubble swelled
on projects for companies like AT Cross and REMINC.
In 2000, Mark made the jump to Windows and bought
his first PC. At the same time Mediaweave, a
fast growing new media company with clients like
Sony, Wal-Mart, Folgers Coffee, San Diego Chargers
and Harley-Davidson, recruited him to work as
a web developer on corporate web sites such as
Sony Chemicals and Flexcon. Over the next five
years Mark gained significant experience working
on large database driven intranets and extranets
using Microsoft Active Server Pages
and SQL Server. In recent years he has worked
on projects
using the latest technologies for AAi Foster
Grant utilizing CSS standards compliant XHTML
design and Lupus International using C# to program
web applications.
Now in 2006, Mark is moving forward into the
future exploring and developing communication,
community, and commerce utilizing a multi disciplinary
approach of the latest web technologies in programming,
his industrial design user interface creative
training, and his faith based
insight of what enhances healthy community. It
is Marks belief that sucessful relationships
are based on trust and a commitment to do what
is best for all involved as they partner to build
business and personal ventures that serve our
global community.
