Elaine
Farrally-Plourde Technology
and Account Management
Elaine is the primary coder
and “nerd-wrangler” at
Ateso, making sure that our
web solutions are always consumer-focused, standards
based, and on budget.
Elaine started designing websites in the mid-90s during
her career in Executive
Office Management, which later became a career in Information
Technology at
The University of Vermont, and Davis-Skaggs/Smith Barney
in San Francisco.
She has a rare ability to fully understand
your business needs and master
whichever technology can deliver the desired results.
She will explain or
train the client if necessary on the functionality of
any back-end systems
implemented for use.
Her mantra is that web-design should create
and enhance  meaningful
communication to the end-user -
not confuse them. Any design or
coding that doesn’t improve communication is probably
just showing off.
The Ateso Crew Here, there, everywhere.
Photographers, designers, directors, coders,
printers, fabricators--we collaborate
with talented people all over the country and assemble
the best team for each
client and project. These days geography isn’t
much of a barrier. |
