A web architect extends the role of web developer to the business layer. The integration of business goals with technology is fundamental to my process.
$challenge = 'business';
function webArchitect('name') {
return $businessResults;
}
$solution = webArchitect('John Parsneau');
I run a small business. I've been building functional websites to achieve business goals for over 16 years.
John has provided design work for us several times and the results have always been excellent. We have also collaborated on other projects. John is very personable, is easy to work with and has great integrity. He goes beyond what is required to insure customer satisfaction and brings a great deal of creative energy and knowledge to the project. My highest recommendation.

Before hiring John, the University of Wisconsin System was in dire need of web presence fitting of a major university system. In a business analyst-like role, John elicited from stakeholders their web needs. He came up with a design and implemented it. Besides his technical acumen and creativity, John also impressed with his ability to work with top management. I'd hire him in an instant.

Outstanding in every respect! I have worked for John and Webgrinders as a contractor on multiple projects. Every interaction I have had with him has been very positive. He runs a well organized, highly professional operation and it is always a pleasure to do business with them. John stands out from others I have worked with in that he clearly identified the deliverables and timelines at that start of each project and was always available when I needed additional information to complete a job. I cannot recommend him enough as a potential employer or business partner. I am also familiar with some of the impressive work Webgrinders has done for their clients and highly recommend John and Webgrinders for your next media or marketing project.
