Hello my name is Lindi Wheaton. I founded The-Pixel in May of 2008. I started this website to display my web development and design skills. Throughout the days, months and years you will see The-Pixel taking on a whole new shape and look as my skills progress. The-Pixel is a World Wide Web design and development agency brand known for quality, experience, and innovation while effectively and innovatively catering to customer satisfaction.
I am a young and well-experienced designer with strong all-round skills in design, development and project management. I graduated Northeast Iowa Community College in May of 2008 with an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Graphic Design and Internet Administration. Years ago, I realized learning would be my lifelong goal. The totality of my experience within the Internet arena started with learning XHTML / CSS, CMS - Content Management System, Web Design, Photoshop, and on to cultivating my Flash skills.
At the present moment, I’m a fulltime freelance web concept developer working primary out of my home in Cascade, Iowa. I’m also employed at TheHosted LLC as a Technical Support (Level 1, 2, 3) and Senior-Level Systems Administration.
