Visual Lizard
Doug Ross
Doug is one of the founders of Visual Lizard Inc and is always striving to keep the wheels of production turning. Around the office he is the jack of all trades acting as a project manager, accountant, audio/video specialists, web developer and sales force. Once he was heard swearing that he would never use a cell phone but in reality there is one stapled to his hip wherever he goes now.
Creativity, originality and artistic freedom led Doug down a different path than the one his Bachelor of Applied Economics dictated. He was always involved with the arts scene and his passion for music is evident from the time he started playing guitar in bands and performing on stage. Working as a DJ in university, he was a staple on the nightlife scene in the city and has carried this talent over into other projects. He is still playing out in clubs, promoting shows and creating his own electronic music.
The travel bug has bitten pretty hard and Doug is determined to seek out exotic locations to spread the word about proper coding and web standards on the Internet. (At least that’s what he tells the people he works with.)
Recently a new lady has entered his life. A 5 year old Siberian Husky that he rescued from the human society named Sydney. She can be found at the office a couple days a week working in the collections department and chasing the other people around and begging them for tummy rubs.
Yi-Jia Susanne Hou site launch
Visual Lizard is proud to announce the re-design and launch of www.susannehou.com. Susanne is a virtuoso violinist that is based in New York and Toronto and has left her mark in music history by being the first violinist ever to capture 3 Gold Medals with unanimous decisions at international violin competitions.
We were initially approached to develop a site for Susanne in the summer of 2007 as her current site was not meeting her needs. Susanne travels the world and needed her site to contain fresh content and updates in regards press and the shows she was taking part in. Our Catalyst CMS was a perfect fit for her.
We enlisted our friends at spacecadet design to assist on the graphical side of the project as we were working diligently to provide her with a site with features that were customized to her personal style and taste.
Using our proprietary Catalyst Content Management System, we were able to assist Susanne with features such as:
- easy to update current news and press section
- current events
- photo gallery
- customized Hou to Dine Section allowing Susanne the opportunity to let us in on her favorite dining locations around the globe
The site is already getting rave reviews and we are looking forward to seeing Susanne on her next visit to Winnipeg.
