I began learning how to design and build websites while working for our local school district. As the “computer lady” on campus, I was tasked with putting together a school website, back in the late 90′s, and I read, studied, and built that first site entirely with notepad!

Since then I have added to my tool chest, and primarily use Dreamwweaver and WordPress to build and maintain sites. I recently redesigned this site using WordPress, and I have experience with other Content Management Systems as well.

Some personal background for those who are interested – I am married (31 years) and have four children, Mike (26), Kristel (25, married to Jonathan, also 25), Tim (23), and Vicky (20).   I have 2 grandchildren, Lily and Jay, who are a delight!  We have lived in our home since 1981, and added on when it became too small. I worked for the local school district while the kids were growing up, and left when my hours became too few to make it worthwhile. I then began Laren Net Works and design and maintain websites for several local organizations and businesses.

Thank you for visiting the website, and I look forward to hearing from you!
