Why name a web design company after a sail?

Well, I’m based in Annapolis, Maryland, home of the United States Naval Academy and one of the sailing meccas of the East Coast. So it seemed appropriate!

Also, my goal is to help people navigate the waters of the Internet. To that end, the company is Spinnaker Web Services, to emphasize the fact that it’s not just about web design. A good website is also about content and presenting information in a manner that makes sense to your visitors.

Spinnaker Web Services is, essentially, me... and who am I, you ask? :-) I’m Erin Harty, journalist and freelance writer by profession; web guru by accident!

I taught myself HTML back in 1996, the dark ages of the Internet, in order to put together a website for a favorite band. Since then, the Internet and Internet culture has become somewhat of a passion for me.

As a writer, what appeals to me most about the Internet is its ability to disseminate information so quickly and easily. My goal in creating your website is to provide all of the information your visitors want and need in an attractive and functional package.
