ATS Web Design aka Advanced Technology Solutions started out as a PC Repair Business with my 2 brothers back in 2003. Eventually it evolved into a Web Design Business... ATS Web Design. My brothers still do PC Repair in their spare time. I still use the original Logo that my younger brother designed.
I'm a single mother of Twins... A Son and a Daughter. They will be 21 years old this year. My Daughter is a a full time college student on the Deans list. My Son wants to train to be an auto mechanic.
Before having the Twins, I was as a Customer Service Representative for Foot-Joy. My business experience came from running my Family Home Daycare when the Twins were little. The Twins apparent special needs forced me to close. After that I designed Gourmet Gift Baskets. The first website I built was Abundant Gift Baskets in 1996. I also corroborated with my aunt in a Calligraphy Business, The Gourmet Pen. I also worked for a short time as an Administrative Assistant for a Magician! I was an AVON Representative from the age of 18 to 40!
But, what I really love is designing Websites. I wish I had realized the business potential back in the 90's. In 2004 I designed 2 sites for a friend of a friend... That's what sparked the idea of designing Websites as a business... My goal is to help people with Small Businesses get on the Web. 'Mom & Pop' Businesses who are well established in the community, but don't yet have a Website. I can come to them with my laptop, or if they don't have internet, they can meet me at my office. Every Business NEEDS a Website! No Matter How Big or Small!
