Glober Associates :: Web Design

Enterprise Website Experience

Reported to Marketing Lead as Content Writer
for enterprise website start-up co-developed
with Viant, then one of the leading dotcom era
web development agencies. Contributed content
and attended meetings at Viant over an approximately
six-month period of time. Website was to be an
innovative competitor to monster.com and hotjobs.com.

Referred to the project by Eric Wolfram, of
Wolfram Associates LLC, an informal consortium
and web team. The group's clients included
enterprise websites such as Concentric and Gator.

The Wolfram Associates team consisted of some of the
best and the brightest designers and coders at that time,
including one of the lead programmers for Salon.com.
I contributed to Information Architecture planning with
the principal along with web administrative support.

At the RHI-Viant startup, I interfaced with the
Project Manager, Information Architect,
Graphic Designers, Marketing Manager, the
President of the startup itself and Design Engineers.

Wrote content, reviewed web design updates
as screenshots and in Visio-based page sequences.
I created the tagline (advertising slogan) for the website
and contributed to branding and logo discussions.

During this time frame I was involved in three professional
organizations: Bay-CHI, the San Franciso chapter of ACM SIGCHI,
a Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction,
NoEnd Web Developers and SIG-I Information Architecture,
and I am currently still a member of NoEnd Web Developers.

Unfortunately the project unraveled in a series
of accusations between Viant and RHI and
the start-up itself just as the dotcom era
itself was unwinding, and I began focusing
on developing sites at that point in time
for theater groups, health care practitioners,
professionals, and small to medium sized businesses.
