Internet Design was formed in 1997 as a partnership. The company is and will remain privately owned. Two of the three original partners still remain with the company. John Smart, Founding Partner and Technical Director Develops our E-commerce and self-edit software. Background: 18 years experience with computers and programming. I found the Internet to be a wonderful new challenge and knew it was the next frontier for my programming skills. When I started the company, my focus was on creating professional looking sites with ease of navigation as the primary foundation. Over seven years later, our goals are very much the same. Lori Smart, Partner and Operations Manager Provides most of the creative talents. Background: Experience in accounting and business management led to my developing a company website in 1996. I enjoyed the challenge and creativity so much that when John approached me about joining Internet Design as a partner in 1997, I didn’t hesitate. I love the opportunity to use both my right and left brain skills on a daily basis. John and Lori started out as business partners, and found that they work so well together they became life partners in marriage in April, 2001. The remainder of the Internet Design team consists of developers, sales representatives and server administrators.
