Does anyone know a good web designer?

My sister-in-law’s employer, Cosmetic Laser Centers, has put her in charge of maintaining their crappy website. Can someone recommend a decent web designer/marketing person for them? They sound like they have a clue on the medical side of things, but they’re totally in over their heads when it comes to marketing, and their website is number 29 when searching for their name in Google.

(IMHO, their first recommendation should be “get a real name”)

Borges

Posted by Scott Laird Tue, 13 Apr 2004 03:16:26 GMT

I’ve been playing with Borges, a Ruby web application server for the past week or so at work. It’s an interesting beast; it’s continuation-based, which means the flow of control in Borges apps is much closer to traditional programming then it is to normal web applications. I don’t have a good example handy, but it’s kind of mind-twisting, because you can make non-event-driven web applications with it. I’ll probably move some of my Asterisk stuff over to Borges, partly because Borges could use a good example, and partly because the big pile of Asterisk stuff that I’ve been accumulating could use a better web framework.
