I had the opportunity to observe the webmaster at Comanche County Telephone Company, Ismelda Garza. When I asked her if I could observe her, she told me that I would not see much because she does a great deal of thinking and drawing before she gets to the computer. She was in the process of redesigning the Mid-Tex Cellular page. It was interesting to watch her because she is one who has Crayolas (yes, Crayola Crayons) on her desk and begins her ideas with thumbnail sketches. I asked her if she writes much HTML code. She said that she only writes code for things such as forms, something that will be utilized again and again.

She uses a collaboration of Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks. On occasion she has created her own images and graphics using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. One of her last steps before posting her pages is to check to make sure they will be compatible for all environments. I was happy that I knew what she was talking about.

It was very interesting to watch someone out in the "real world" working much like I have been doing over the past year. She also had moments of frustration just as I have had. I have so much appreciation for what she does and what she knows. The following link will take you to her "baby."
