It's been over 30 years since I founded Viewmark. We were one of the first web design firms in the country and were on the ground floor of an exciting new industry. It's hard to imagine a time when you could visit all the new websites of the month, I remember Bill Gates saying the web was just a passing fad. One year, Viewmark won gold, silver and bronze for web design at the Colorado BMA gold key awards. We built the eCommerce system for Baby Einstein (now Disney), the ticketing engine for Central City Opera and the CMS for so many more.
Right before the millennium, we won "best education site" on the web with HP, we received an International EMMA award and I met Tim Berners-Lee at the MOMA awards ceremony in San Francisco. It really has been quite a ride and I really have enjoyed every minute of it. Life has lots of twists and turns and you never know when an opportunity like that will present itself; in any case, over the last year I've been able to wind the company down and position it more as an organization dedicated to supporting the performing arts in retirement. Here's to the next chapter, cheers and happy new years to come!
