“JoAnn has an eye for the obscure and intriguing, which makes her an ideal city guide writer. Her monthly column has highlighted Houston’s roller derby, medical museum, “beer can house” and alternative art spaces—all in zippy, energetic prose. The breadth of her cultural knowledge is matched by her commitment to quality writing. She’s also one of the friendliest freelancers you could hope to meet. It has been a pleasure to work with her.”

It’s been a long, slow road but the redesigned Enterlogix site is now live. Enterlogix expanded their service offerings and areas of product expertise but their old site didn’t reflect it. They wanted to update their look, clean up their navigation, and have a site that better reflected their full range of capabilities as succinctly as possible. I developed the site architecture, edited and created all the content on the new site. I also provided project coordination and assisted with the content upload using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.
