Members say thanks to Inguna Trepsa
Well over a year ago, I received a late night phone call from my teacher, consultant and friend, Bud Kraus. Bud is the enthusiastic author of Joy of Code, an online course on html and css coding, and avid proponent of designing to standards. Bud and I had been working on putting together an RFP for a website to help independent stationers be “found” in an online search. Barely able to contain his enthusiasm, he said “you just have to see this website: Ante Meridiem Design.” I did, and I was hooked.
Some months later I engaged Inguna Trepsa of Ante Meridiem Design to help redesign the Therese Saint Clair website and then the StationersGuild.org website, which was a somewhat less ambitious site than Bud and I had orginally envisioned. While I am not a web designer, it is clear that Inguna’s stunning designs, straight-forward navigation, quick-to-load text and logical coding are clearly raising the bar for great website design. I have never actually met Inguna or her equally charming husband, Gvido, but we have often connected many times by phone and email. Inguna has the singular ability to take vague ideas, moods, ill-defined concepts and turn them into great works of beauty supported by a logical and simple infrastructure.
Our Guild members owe Inguna a big hug and an immense debt of gratitude for helping us design a state-of-the-art website that supports brick-and-mortar stationers and the craftsmen whose fine papers we represent. Many thanks Inguna.
