Todd Swickard
Chief Executive Officer |
| Todd Swickard founded
Auto Web Design Columbus, LLC in February 2002, as a joint
venture between himself and Bobb Chevrolet in Columbus, Ohio.
Drawing on his vast experience from Compaq, AutoTrader.com, and
Dealer.com, he was able to compile a multi-media company that
targets niche markets across the country. In less then 6 months
a site was launched and over 200 dealers from across the country
had been formed into a network. All this with very little
venture capital invested.
A veteran of the dot com industry, Todd has seen it all. It has
been his personal goal to create a marketing company that drives
results with ROI and accountability. His methodology keeps
campaigns within budget producing infinite results and return on
investment. Todd’s true measure of success is in the success of
our clients. |

George Roberts
Chief Development Officer |
| An advertising industry
veteran (George headed-up the interactive department at B2B
agency Keiler & Company for several years), George came to the
interactive world from a completely different background;
Accounting. George received his BS in Accounting from the
University of Connecticut in 1997. He then moved from
Connecticut to Boston, MA where he worked for 2 years in the
mutual fund industry as a Portfolio Administrator.
After jumping from job-to-job for those two years, George
quickly learned that "it wasn't the job...it was the career". He
began to teach himself web development in the evenings. Having
previous experience building Visual Basic applications from a
prior job (and being nearly helpless with Photoshop), George
decided to make his niche backend development. In January of
1998 George landed his first freelance client, and the rest, as
they say, is history.
This diversity of professional experience coupled with the
self-taught nature of his skillset allows George to perform his
job very well. Solving business issues with code is always a
challenge, and it takes an orderly, yet creative thinker to
diagnose a problem, fix it, then optimize it for the web, or to
take a business process that has existed only offline for
decades and transition it seamlessly to the web. |

Tim Roberts
Creative Officer |
| While studying
photography and illustration at The University of Connecticut,
Tim came to the world of web development by accident. His first
web project was to create a site to showcase his own portfolio,
in hopes of landing a job out of college. He then set out to do
this on his own, teaching himself html, flash, and javascript.
Other freelance web projects followed quickly.
Around this time, Tim graduated from The University of
Connecticut with a BS in Fine Arts. On the strength of the sites
he'd already created, Tim landed a job at Innovative Internet
Marketing Solutions in Wallingford, CT, where he served as
production specialist for a year and a half, responsible for
html coding and flash banners.
It was Tim's need for a more challenging creative outlet that
led him away from IIMS in the fall of 2002 and to Keiler &
Company in Farmington, CT, a prominent B2B Agency. At Keiler,
Tim was able to expound upon his existing skillset by creating
more complex flash animations, as well as furthering his
design/development skills. Through knowledge gained from working
on hundreds of successful web sites, Tim is able to bring a
unique perspective to the field of web development. Deeply
rooted in usability and function over form, Tim's work is always
logical and intuitive while still being attractive to the
viewer. The psychology of design is one of the driving forces in
Tim's work. Understanding his clients, their business, and their
target audience is the basis and most important aspect of any
project. |
