VistaLoca Studios is a web design and development studio specializing in ASP.NET, PHP and Flex technologies. The studios are run by myself, Will Blacklock, and I have been working with various web technologies for the past seven years.
My work began in 2000 with the development of the first Vistaloca.com web site, which featured my photography from numerous bicycle races, triathlons and whitewater rafting taken around Colorado. The web site offered participants of those activities to purchase prints of their images after easily locating them in searchable galleries.
Since my first efforts, I have developed several static HTML/CSS web sites and created several dynamic web sites using PHP/MySQL, including a report card grading system for a DPS elementary school.
I am now turning my attentions toward the latest ASP.NET technologies, including AJAX and Silverlight. I think the developers at Microsoft are now offering a powerful, innovative product that is far superior to the first ASP offerings, which I worked with before switching to PHP for my report card system.
I have extensive experience working with a long line of Adobe products as well, including Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Flash. I have worked with Photoshop since version 4 and I’m currently working with Creative Suite 3. I also continue to stay current with Adobe’s developer IDE implementation of Flash with Flex 3.
