Judi is the inspiration behind RedPen. Starting her Internet career 9 years ago, she became on-line Community Manager for a New York based multi-media company which developed one of the most popular and successful interactive forums on CompuServe. The service attracted in excess of 650,000 members. Judi's responsibilities included on-line promotion, developing forum content and recruiting, managing and training on-line staff world-wide.
"Through the development of Redpen Internet Solutions I have been able to make my Internet marketing and promotion skills available to a wider audience. RedPen now comprises of a team of technicians, including copywriters, graphic designers and computer programmers so that no matter how large or small your company, we can produce and design the Web site which meets your requirements at the budget you can afford".
Luke is responsible for ensuring that the code which RedPen originates to produce each of our Web pages is not only robust and effective but also as brief as possible to ensure faster loading.
"An increasing number of Web surfers realise that it is simple to reveal the code which generates every Web page. Elegant and straightforward coding is the hallmark of professional Web designers (it is so much more reliable and flexible).
This is what distinguishes the professionals from the DIY approach of Web page generating software which invariably produces bloated and complicated coding which is prone to inexplicable breakdown and unintended side effects - especially when viewed with alternate web browsers, e.g. PDAs, small screen renderers."
James is responsible for all the database aspects of the web sites — from the initial analysis and design to the implementation of fully integrated database-driven web sites.
He also designs and implements off-line database applications for RedPen clients which may or may not be linked with their on-line systems.
"More and more web sites are requiring some sort of database interface and the secret is to make sure that the database functionality is fully integrated and not just bolted on as an afterthought. We make sure that the full system life cycle is properly carried out - from requirements and analysis through to full testing and implementation. Most of all we make sure that our sites work properly and that the clients' requirements have been met".
