ABOUT EON Webware
EON Webware was founded in 2001 by its President, Eleanor O'Neill, but the experience clients are now able to benefit from has been developed over the course of 20 years.
Starting with a Bachelor of Arts in Film Production with a minor in Writing and Literature, you can see the initial seeds of a skill set that includes video editing and a certain amount of finesse with a camera and the English language. An early job involved working with TelePrompTer™ scripts, elaborate multi-projector slide shows, even transcribing dictation;
following came editorial experience at the New York offices of Houghton Mifflin (a major publishing company), leading into a Boston position involving several early computer-based typesetting and page-layout systems. All of these experiences developed the editorial eye to a high degree; no detail was too small to matter when a dictionary or school textbook was the final product!
Most of the 1990s poured page layout and graphic design skills into the experience mix, as well as software training (it's always fun teaching computer skills to artists!),
network support, and a first dabbling in non-mainframe databases, starting at premier mail-order catalogers Harry & David and Jackson & Perkins and continuing with a small print shop, then climbing to the next level at an advertising agency where Photoshop was the bible and video editing of commercials was fully computer-based.
A brief stint helping college art students learn to use page layout, graphics, and video tools, then it was on to the heavy-duty pre-press world, learning the arcana of trapping and 4-color process printing, paper selection, even brochure folding, as well as poster and book design.
As the 90s neared their end, a new kind of skill-building began with the rush to the World Wide Web. Databases needed maintaining, designing, programming. Web sites needed designing, online project proposals were the hottest thing, while others needed a brand new database, and the ability to edit it online. And visitors and popular pages needed to be tracked and analyzed.
After the turn of the century, Customer Relationship Management systems became the "hot" thing, and
needed to be planned and implemented, affiliate relationships needed to be maintained, scripted. Perl, Oracle, TCL, JavaScript, and Search Engines had all permanently joined the vocabulary.
The latest "thing" is CSS and Web Standards, and EON Webware is dedicated to following these standards for all new sites. This gives our customers clean, cross-browser compatible designs with no confusing markup, allowing easy site updates and speedier maintainance. We also continue to provide programming services for desktop database applications such as Microsoft Access.
