Sazbean

Welcome to Sazbean – business Internet consulting. With a background in computer and software engineering, a MBA in eBusiness, over ten years of experience on the web (programming, design, hosting, software, etc.), I am passionate about helping businesses use the web effectively.

Sazbean was created as the expression of this passion.

I started off out of college as a programmer working on back-end server-side scripting written for large database-driven eCommerce sites such as 1-800-Flowers and Eddie Bauer. Coding in this environment is cold. Customers have already been consulted. The design and functionality have already been created. There is nothing left but the drudgery of conjuring someone else’s vision.

Soon I started my own company, Dynalink, LLC, to be part of the entire design process; to help customers understand the web and how to best utilize it. I focused on small companies and had some luck in creating and hosting corporate sites and several custom eCommerce sites. But small companies have small budgets, and the sites were mostly informational brochures. Since the web was relatively young, everyone thought their nephew could do their corporate site, so value and return on investment was hard to establish.

Running my own company was fulfilling, but I wanted experience on enterprise-level web technologies. I found a job as an Internet manager for a B2B publishing company, responsible for over 75 websites and all technologies associated with their web presence: hosting, hardware, software, design, programming, analytics, advertising, rich media, customer needs, project management, search engine optimization, website optimization, etc. From this position, I honed my expertise in internet consulting and how to do business on the web.

Aaron and I will post here Mondays through Thursdays, if not more. I hope you will join us.
