About Me

Who AM I? Right now I'm a crazed middle aged web developer balancing cool projects and an over-active family.

My design firm, Crucible Designs has been creating superb websites since 1997. My designs are known for being clean, easy to use and search engine friendly.

In 1999 I opened Alaska Alternatives web hosting to support my design clients needs. Morphed over the years into AKalt.net we now specialize in Windows hosting with support ColdFusion websites.

In the mean-time, my husband Bill and I live in a fixer-upper log cabin in Anchorage, Alaska with 5 of our seven children.  Two of the four grandkids live next door.  Two dogs, two cats and a turtle deign to share their home with us.

We're news junkies with lots of opinions. We read, play guitar, garden and talk about doing home repair projects. We love to travel.

We've got tragedy and comedy as our daily fare. I'll be sharing the struggles on another website soon. Sometimes you have to talk about what you've learned or it is for naught.

So who the heck is JoMarie? A gal with more creativity than time. A woman with enough on her plate. A dreamer. A doer. An optimist. A cynic. A mom late to pick up her kids ...
