My name is Michael Vaughn and I currently reside in Orange County, California.
I originally began my career in the print industry more years ago than I care to admit (that’s right, I learned design using rapidograph pens, x-acto knifes, and rubylith). With the advent of the personal computer I eventually gravitated toward the tech industry where I have been employed for the last twenty years.
In that time I have held several positions in information technology including sales, management, and support with six years spent working for the University of Advancing Technology in Phoenix and most recently four and half years at Chapman University in southern California. I have also spent my fair share of time with start-ups and small business as well as doing various successful entrepreneurial ventures of my own off and on.
I never lost my ties with my design roots and have always done something in that capacity over the years for friends, family and small business. Like most techs I embraced the beginnings of the web in 1995 but never took much of a design interest in it because of the lack of precise layout – tables, spacer gifs, what?
That all changed about three years ago when I decided to look into CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) more closely. With CSS I found the design control that I was looking for and I discovered a new found interest in web design. After years of working for someone else I decided to go ronin and this website is the result.
I feel that my years of experience with design, technology, and business offer a unique skill set to help small businesses and individuals establish and grow their enterprise with the Internet. I specialize in designing and building web sites that operate on Wordpress. Wordpress offers dynamic, database driven websites that are easy to update, search engine friendly and relatively simple to maintain.
