Rex White’s Summary
I have worked in the field of web development and internet marketing for over 10 years. I recently resigned from my position at Perfect Wedding Guide to start an exciting venture - my own web design and consultancy firm, Vela Creative, Inc.
For 9 years at Perfect Wedding Guide, I enjoyed exciting challenges that allowed continued professional and technical growth. In 1999, I started out as Perfect Wedding Guide's Webmaster and one-man IT Department. In 2005, I moved into the position of Director of IT Development as we began to add staff and grow the web site. Then in 2007 I took on the role of Director of Search Marketing, something I had wanted to focus on full time for many years.
Now, as President and Creative Director of my new company, Vela Creative, Inc., I am able to combine my years of experience as a web site designer, graphic artist, and internet marketer for the benefit of companies looking for a dependable firm that delivers quality services at a fair price in an uncertain economy.
