Ron Whitman’s Summary
Web designer / developer / manager / business owner with 9 years of experience in the field.
(UPDATE: I'm now accepting Mobile Application development projects at http://www.zenjimobile.com)
I know web sites and web applications inside and out - from global "big picture" down to best practices of design and code.
As Owner and Senior Developer at my business, Zenji, I've been providing clients with top-notch consultation in all things web - design layouts, information architecture, usability analysis, front and backend programming, project management and web-based business model consultation.
Today, I and my teams strive to create new web experiences formed from original, unique visions.
My primary project is Where's Cool? an "alt-travel" social site dedicated to helping 18-35 year olds find indie, authentic and cheap stuff to do around the world. This site was conceived, designed and built by me. It was featured by NY Times, Budget Travel Magazine, Guardian UK, SFGate + more.
I also created Commuter Feed, a place for users to post traffic and transit delays using Twitter. The site has had much publicity (CNet's WebWare, Wired, ReadWriteWeb, Lifehacker and more).
Additionally I had a large early-stage role in the creation and launch of Shopflick.com, a fast-growing marketplace for style and fashion.
