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... 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.

Also, webspace is available on DeCouto.net for family members to share photos, news, events and announcements, home videos, art, music, links to favorite web pages and sites, family history, geneology, kid's pages (that they can make themselves), bad jokes, good recipes ... whatever we want! Watch this space for future developments.
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),

Web Design Case Studiesfeaturing bop35 and nickswebworks.comCars, 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.
