Apocalypse Studios; Who we are...

Hi there, folks! I'm Doctor Ozone.

I've been on the World Wide Web for a couple of years now, and involved with computers and the Internet for quite a bit longer. My focus differs from many others in the business of WWW design. I am, first and foremost, an artist, and the computer is my medium. My original training is in the field of Industrial Design. I've spent the last 15 years working in the design field, first as a Furniture & Interior designer, and later as Art Director & General Manager of a commercial printing firm.

I'm now working with Conal Garrity, out of Minnesota. Conal, (aka 'fios'), is working with his many contacts in the music industry, and we're trading off on coding and graphics. It's a nice match, and we work well together. He's also doing quite a bit of research on streaming audio, and the future of this is looking quite exciting.

I have a vision of what the Web should look like, and what it can be. I've dedicated myself to making this vision a reality. Up to this time, I've worked behind the scenes, helping others to perfect their control of their Graphics and HTML coding. I will continue this service as best as I can; feel free to Email me, advice is always free!

My credentials are here for all to see, my personal Web site has proven itself capable of maintaining an average hit count of 40,000+ hits/day. This actually works out to about 600-1000 *visits* per day. Make sure you don't confuse the two terms. 'Hits' will tell you how many actual calls were made to your server, including images, GIFs, HTML pages, etc., and 'visits' are how many folks actually stopped by. My stats show that the average visitor stays around for quite a while, viewing approximately 40-100 images and/or pages during their stay. These will be important numbers to watch for those of you considering bringing your business onto the World Wide Web. You want as many *visitors* as you can get, and you want them to actually stick around long enough to get your message.

If you've enjoyed my work here, and you're also in need of help with a commercial project, my services are available to you. No matter what your needs, I will be able to help you out. Need a header graphic and buttons, but want to do your own HTML coding? Not a problem, I can work to your specs. Don't know how to get started, or don't have the time to invest in doing it yourself? I can build you a complete site, and arrange for the housing and maintainance of it. Contact me by Email, or by phone at (415) 565-0869. Full quotes will be provided before work commences, there will be no surprises in store for you. Initial consultations are free. My aim is to make your entry onto the World Wide Web as painless and successful as possible. Call me.

Your pal, -doc-
