World Wide Web Site Design, Creation, Repair and Maintenance

Responsible for the creation and maintenance of seven Web sites:

1. Property Valuation Advisors SM (PVA) - http://www.shore.net/~straub/pva.htm

2. Property Valuation Monitor SM (PVM) - http://www.shore.net/~straub/pvm.htm

3. Arrow Floor Covering, Inc. - http://www.shore.net/~straub/arrow.htm

4. Web Page Repair - http://www.shore.net/~straub/wpr.htm

5. HIV Research - http://www.shore.net/~straub/hiv.htm

6. Basic Skills in Interpreting Laboratory Data - http://www.shore.net/~straub/labskills.htm

7. Steve's InSites - http://www.shore.net/~straub/go.htm

Sites include 150+ HTML 3.2 and 4.0 validated documents (pages) displaying 150+ images (GIFs and JPGs) (many now animated). Pages include not only basic HTML 2.0 features, but also HTML 3.2 and 4.0 features including tables (also designed for viewing with non-table-capable browsers), forms, backgrounds, and cascading style sheets (CSS). Sites contain neither exclusionary nor proprietary tags (unless rendered legibly for others).

Although sites are rich in look and feel, wide and deep in content, and enhanced with advanced HTML 3.2 and 4.0 and CSS features, still, pages are viewable with all levels of browser, including text-only capable browsers. Images are optimized for speed (with few exceptions all images are less than 16K; most less than 6K), and useful ALT text descriptions are provided with all appropriate images.

The PVA and PVM sites are catalogued in the Web's popular, yet discriminating cataloguer, Yahoo SM. Pages also are found in the major Web search-engines including Lycos, HotBot, Webcrawler, Alta Vista, Excite, and others. Links to PVA and PVM sites are included at prestigious real estate Web sites including CCIM, IRED Library, the Urban Land Institute, and MIT's Rotch Library. Moreover, the PVA site has been awarded the highest "HOT" rating by the Int'l Real Estate Directory SM and "A Must See" **** rating by Excite. The PVM site also has received a national Top 10 rating by PikeNet, a commercial real estate Web site rating service.

The Web Page Re<p>air site was featured in Cascading Style Sheets, Designing for the Web, a book authored by Håkon Lie, the primary creator of the W3C CSS-1 specification. In addition, the Web Page Re<p>air's article, "Designing for Multiple Browsers Without Being Bland" was selected to be featured in the advanced HTML tutorial area of Lycos. It also is a recommended link at the Web Design Group's Web Site at http://www.htmlhelp.com as well as at numerous other Web sites.
