Webmaster Credentials:

David B. Cate was grew up in a rural town outside the Granite State's Capital, Concord. After finishing high school, David attended Nathaniel Hawthorne College to commence his aeronautics major and flight training.

After taking a year break and taking part of a Walt Disney World College Program in FALL 1985, David transferred to Florida Institute of Technology , located in Melbourne, Florida. He worked various near full-time jobs while taking a full course load plus flying most every day. His J.O.B.s included working as a Behavioral Modification Specialist with young adults, a Community Transitional Tech for the mentally and physically handicapped, Professional Photographic Equipment Salesman, and in Office Supplies.

In 1991, David graduated from FIT with a Bachelor's Degree in Aviation Management / Flight Technology, accompanied with a Commercial Pilot's License with Multi-Engine and Instrument ratings.

During the Gulf War, the Major airlines were subsidized by the Government, but David learned very quickly the rollercoaster economics of Regional airlines and General Aviation and worked for a few companies that went out of business. Having Government Student Loans to pay back, David relied on his much beloved hobby, Photography, and continued to work as a professional for seven years.

David thrived on his experience as an aircraft photographer based out of the Rockledge Airpark and Merritt Island Airport, primarily doing air-to-air shots of experimental aircraft over Merritt Island, Florida for 2 years. His photos appeared in trade publications such as, Kit Plane, USAviator, a Turkish Aero Magazine, and to this day in the Arnet Pereyra Aero Design website. Some of those photos are still published on Aero Adventure's website. More current aviation photography is on Maverick Jet's. David is also experienced in portraiture, scenic, and digital photography, now mainly used for personal use.

Surviving kidney dialysis for a year and a kidney transplant in February, 1999, David had the whole World open to him and could decide to go back into Aviation with a ground-based job or he could endeavor into something completely different. At this time he was introduced into an awesome business opportunity by some friends that dealt with e-commerce with a "High-Tech High Touch" philosophy that was and still is shaping the way business is conducted on the web.

It only made sense to get involved with the Internet in the Information Age we live in!

David started learning basic HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) in 1999 on his own and was employed for 2.5 years by an Orlando classifieds newspaper where his web design skills were implemented. He attended a few classes at Seminole Community College then enrolled into New Horizons Orlando in the Fall of 2000 taking the Site Designer Track and completed courses for his Certified Internet Webmaster and INET+ exams.

David is currently proficient in Adobe Illustrator CS, Photoshop CS, Dreamweaver CS, Flash 8, and other Design Tools such as Fireworks. He uses state of the art e-commerce design software to make shopping cart technology for small stores affordable and makes use of Cascading Style Sheets (example) and Dreamweaver to simplify website changes. Most of his original works are now hand-coded to meet modern design standards.

Throughout the past few years, David has gained much insight how Search Engines & Directories work and can take most any small business and rank them high in the major search engines with Orlando WEB Development's "Side-door, KeyPhrase Marketing System." Orlando Web Development relies solely on SEO, search engine traffic and word of mouth advertising for its own livlihood. If you are reading this web page, most likely you found us through a search engine using one of our targeted key word phrases.

Having smart, innovative and talented people at one's disposal is key to Orlando Web Development's (OWD) success in this diverse and sometimes overwhelming field within cyberspace. David has gained the trust and friendship of many local programmers, web design firms, and specialists abroad in the United Kingdom that aid in the development of website projects, if needed.

David works mainly as a project manager now also doing design and layout while keeping direct contact with ALL of his customers, as best he can. He's also a proud father of a 2 year old daughter, volunteers to help out with the Cub Scouts, and other activities.

David envisions OWD to be a valuable resource for business people to obtain the education and tools necessary to conduct business online in a modern, cost saving, and efficient manner. If you have any local business ideas or solutions you would like to see us focus on and provide information on this website, please Contact David so we can implement them in the new OWD Website in mid 2008.
