Site Debut

little habor technology was "born" in Rockland, Maine in October, 2006 after moving my Chicago based business to Maine. Things in Maine are different, very different from Chicago. I realized the type of client I wanted to have needed the same skill sets but a slightly different approach. As much as fortune 500 business opportunities helped mold and train me, I wanted to work with local folks, people that support and need one another.



My transition in Maine was significantly aided by the following: a decision to have office space in downtown Rockland; my early involvement with the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce; hiring a self starter that wanted and took an opportunity to learn; and being embraced by the midcoast community.

After 3 years of operating LHT we have grown and evolved in a way I couldn't have expected. My background, 20 years, is database driven. What we are mostly doing today are websites. What I have realized in this transition is that my background is more project management related, whether it is a custom database application or website overhaul. Doing either requires attention to detail, knowing how to pull the right resources together, listening intently to your client, and delivering to or in excess of their expectations.

When I started LHT (and remember was a database guru, not a web guru) I hired a talented team of women, Jessica and Hazel, to design and develop the website. It was perfect. I loved the way it worked, how it looked, and the message it delivered to potential visitors. 3 years later, our services are so different we had to take the time to update our website to reflect the business we are doing today. It is so different we decided to take the opportunity to redesign our website. This process was not easy. I was probably one of LHT's worst customers, not liking initial design options and not seeing where they could evolve to. We took a break, got more customers (ironically one because they loved our first site), and put it off. But we regrouped, realizing that if we couldn't redesign our own site, how could we sell with confidence the redesign of others.

We are happy to launch our new site. We understand design is subjective and know that many will like our old site better and many will like our new site better. I will always like / love both. the good news is our new site reflects what we are doing for business today and in an effective way.
