About Tony Paterson B.Ad.Voc.T., Dip.MM., Cert.SW.

Tony is a multi-skilled artist and designer in Queensland, Australia. He has seven wonderful children, most of whom are grown up and all of whom are making the world a better place.

Tony began his working life making signs back in the 1970's. He served his apprenticeship as a signwriter then spent the following 15 years as a tradesman in that calling. He enthusiastically learned all he could about designing and manufacturing signs, including brushed, airbrushed, illuminated and neon signs, and finally computer-aided design. In 1983 Tony imported one of the first computer-aided signmaking machines from the U.S.

In 1989 Tony joined TAFE Queensland and enrolled in university, emerging with a Bachelor of Adult and Vocational Teaching degree. He taught sign trade skills at TAFE for 5 years. In 1995, Tony was in the teaching team who wrote and delivered the inaugural Certificate IV in Multimedia. In 1998 that team upgraded the course into the first full Diploma of Multimedia.

It was a heady time in the late 1990's with the introduction of online learning systems, and Tony left TAFE to run his own Web-based online learning business. He later found some success in sketching portraits for Web-sourced customers. This is still a source of interest and satisfaction although the demand has diminished with increased competition as the idea caught on.

In recent times, business owners have begun to realise the importance of having more than just a "web presence". They are seeing the need to appear professional especially on the Web, where the potential audience is huge. There is a growing number of firms trying to cash in on that market. Many are marketing firms who hire graphic artists to put sites together. Some do wonderful work, some not so wonderful.

Tony's focus is on you, the customer, and your customers. Tony's websites are designed to be attractive, effective, easy to navigate, quick to download, and compatible with most computers. He drummed those points into his students so much it has practically become his mantra. His websites are simple, economical and very much tailored to each customer's needs.
