Many people ask us how we got started in this business, so here's the story...
In the mid 1990's Totsie and Winn decided to leave the hustle and
bustle of Atlanta and head for the North Carolina mountains where
Totsie's Mom and sisters lived. Arriving with big city skills they
quickly found that they would have to re-invent themselves.
Winn, being the visioneer of the team, said "Websites are going to
be big one day!" Totsie questioned how she could transition from Food
Styling to something she knew nothing about. Winn's answer was "It's
brand new. No one else knows how either. Just get online and learn it."
So with perseverance and a day job painting houses, Totsie got up at
4am every day to figure out just how this new field of website design
worked. The rest is history as they say….
In the meantime,
Winn had moved from temp jobs to Office Environments where his
bulldogged approach to solving computer problems gained him the IT
position and the name plate "Winn Troubleshooting Bulldog King".
After 10 successful years doing traditional html websites, Totsie
asked Winn to help her find a content management system so her clients
could be empowered to make their own changes. Winn reviewed the most
popular approaches and decided that for the long term growth of the
business, Plone was the best choice even though it had the steepest
learning curve. After about 9 months of nights and weekends learning
Plone, we made our first Plone site. In February 2006, Winn joined
Totsie.com and we have been happily Ploning together ever since!
About this site
As you review our portfolio, you'll see that Plone sites have a white Plone powered logo just above the screen shot. This is to differentiate them from some of the older html sites which we kept in the portfolio because they are still great sites and they are still serving their owners well. Photo of Totsie and Winn on this page was taken in Budapest, Hungary at the Plone Conference in October 2009.
