History of Armadillo Web Design
|
 Hello
and Welcome to Armadillo Web Design. My name is Michael Gordon
and I am just a little bit proud of our accomplishments at Armadillo
Web, but enough of patting myself on the back, on to how we got to
where we are today.
Armadillo Web Design came into being during the initial
creation of
our first web site. An associate of mine wanted to sell old and
out-of-print books on the Internet. After several months of learning
and trial by error The Crowes’ Nest Books and Collectibles was launched
on the World Wide Web.
|
| One thing we discovered about web sites
is they are
alive in the sense; they keep growing and developing, never remaining
stale or old. In the process of changing the look and feel of the
original web site I decided to develop my own web site and focus it’s
efforts on the design and development of web sites. |
| While on a Christmas holiday my parents
were able
to visit for a month, sometime during that visit I played tour guide
and took them all over Northeast Texas. On one of our trips I took them
out to the lake to view the winter nesting habitat of the Bald Eagles.
We stopped at a small rest area with a center island for vehicles to
circle and return to the main road. |
| Making the circle slowly, watching the
distant
treetops for eagle nests, I spotted an Armadillo in the middle of the
circular island. He was rooting and scratching for lunch. I stopped for
this unusual natural event, as Armadillos like to hunt in the evening
when the bugs are out and about. |
| My Father had never seen an Armadillo;
he was
fascinated by this armor-plated animal, and watched him for several
minutes. He opened the car door and got out to observe closer, all this
time the Armadillo kept sniffing and scratching, searching for lunch.
They kept their distance of 10 feet, one watching, and the other
hunting. |
| A few months after my parents left for
home my father died. In his honor, I have named this web site and
business. |
| Armadillo Web Design is not only about
creating web
sites for other businesses, professionals, and personal use; it is also
about how to build a web site. In our "Free Bits and Pieces"
page you will find many links to services, tips, and ideas. Some are
fee
based, most are free to use for crediting the owner and web site. There
you will also find instructions and examples on how to create a web
page. |
| We hope you enjoy your visit at
Armadillo Web Design and return often to catch the latest from The
Armadillo. |

Northeast Texas, in the city of Texarkana. We can be reached through
