Mark, the Webmaster '03 clik for mo' pix

Hi! My name is Mark, the first of five born to Tony and Jean DeCouto. Originally from Miami, I now live in L.A., and my parents, siblings and their families' in Georgia; also, there's a brother, his wife and kids in Detroit; a nephew and neice bouncing north and south; aunts, uncles, cousins in Bermuda, Florida and the East Coast; I've even spoken to a DeCouto from Japan...
indeed, we are a scattered bunch!

I myself have been getting into learning the web as a hobby, NEWSFLASH! For the past 2 years (a/o feb 2012), I have been building my web design business NicksWebWorks.com under the brand of my alter ego, "Nick Sharpe" (West of the Rockies). I update and work on this site in the rare bits of spare time, but now that its PR4 (!) site, (11 years old!), this will get the attention it deserves.
...
...so this site will develop over time. Any DeCoutos' that are into this, know web design or have a connect for a reliable webhost, dive in and email me  Mark@DeCouto.net

new! Decouto Family Blog! (feb 2012)

  With this site, each branch of the family tree can have ther own pages as mentioned above, so.... break out those old boxes of photos, go down to the local elctronics store and get a scanner ( $50-100), read the simple directions and start archiving those valuable ( and increasingly fragile!) pix on to a reliable hard drive, then back 'em up on cdw, zip, tape (anything that'll last a few hundred years). UPDATE: use online services like Flikr, Picassa web , etc...
Scan the photos for storage at the highest possible quality, then convert copies to 72 dpi (dots per inch resolution). That's a manageable file size to send pix as an email attachment. To publish on the net, that's as good as it gets (for now). OR snail mail a CD rom (Mac preferred), to:

Web Design Case Studies

featuring bop35 and nickswebworks.com


  • NicksWebWorks - Web Design with SEO in Mind - my main website

  • bop 35 seo web design studio - the wild side of NWW

  • Cars, Guitars and Motorcycles have always been my interests. Now we add web designer! It's as creative as recording music. Most of my clients just happen to be in the auto business, primarily to buy cars from the public to replenish their stock. The idea is to do web design with SEO in mind so my clients get to the top of SERP (search engine results placement). Clients see the SERPs and that's how I get work - they call me.
