About D.Hart & Associates

David Hart • President

My business background covers over 30 years in hospitality and mail order catalog sales. That entire period, which covers much of the earliest years of business computing, involved the integration and automation that computers offered to these industries.

From my earliest experiences in computerizing a catalog sales company in the early 80s, to more recent work supporting technology in the travel industry, I have been both intrigued and fascinated by the opportunities that the creative application of computers to business offered. In more recent years, that has led to an obvious focus on the Internet and how it can be used to improve business process (saving money and time) and increase revenue (enhance & leverage web marketing and relationships).

My work has included selection and implementation of computer and telecommunications systems for hotels, hotel management companies, mail order business and hotel reservations companies. Prior to my actual creation of websites, I did design work for online corporate and group reservations applicaations. My style is rather straight-forward, with a focus on functionality. I'm a believer in avoiding most of the 'sins' of the Top 10 lists in website design boo-boos. While many newer technologies (i.e., Flash) look very cool, everyone does not have DSL - or even the most up-to-date browser versions. More importantly, these technologies can have a very negative effect on how your site is indexed by search engines such as Google.

We are a small 'shop' - and I do most of the work, including copy writing. If you are interested in working with someone who is passionate about getting you the best results for your new or existing website - get in touch and let's talk it over!
