Brian Forth, Guest Speaker

Brian Forth is the founder and president of the company: "Sitecrafting", which focuses on receiving commissions for developing websites for its customers.

Brian started this kind of business when he was a teacher, teaching kids how to create their own websites, some of their parents to an extent had business which also could have benefited from having a website, and so would work for these student's parents to earn money. He first made a product to help teachers learn the internet, it was called "Teacher Universe".

Brian stated that everything that happened to him growing up, which includes the disciplines he learned along the way, prepared him for his career as president of a company. He warns not to get too comfortable when things are going good, and not to get too anxious when things aren't going as planned.

Lot of works from his company have been commissioned from big corporations such as:
-Dreamworks
-Warner Bros.
-Sony
-Disney.

The site employees about 35 people, and the company is constantly evolving. Brian himself talks about how he's always thinking of the company, and the need to have an outlet away from your company to keep your mind at ease, and not so worried and anxious all the time.

Brian also talked about another company idea he had; Gearlab - a user testing facility. separate company within sitecrafting. HI - testing for User interaction within prototyping.
