Welcome to Skyrender Web Enterprises. My name is Brad Hochstedler and I graduated from Ball State University in May of 2004 ago with
a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. For the past 3 years, I have been working as a Systems Analyst for Via Credit Union
in Marion, IN. In my time with Via Credit Union, I have created a brand new website to coincide with a name change, created many intranet
applications, and designed many web graphics.
I decided to start Skyrender Web Enterprises as a creative outlet and a way to learn more about web design in general. It's a way of pushing myself to always learn new techniques and to keep up with the ever changing nature of the internet. Since starting up my business in July of 2009, I have worked with 2 clients and am now hosting my churches website (Main St. UMC in Peru, IN). My hope is to work with 3-4 clients per year and to help small to medium businesses compete with the larger corporations.
My biggest beliefs in terms of web design... clean, easily accessible, and fun. I have found that a lot of web designers have the mentality of "make the website complex, so that we can charge the customer more when they need changes later". This is not a philosophy I prescribe to. On all of my websites I provide a custom designed user interface that allows my clients to be able to make changes to their websites without the need of any web programming experience.

Main Street UMC is using a custom designed content management system that allows them to update many aspects of their website without the need of
any web expertise. They can quickly and easily update their calendar, add recent news, update their contact information and many other pages of their
website in just minutes.

Nature's Studio is based out of Ft. Wayne, IN and it was a pleasure to get to design a website for one of my wife's best friends from college.
Abby Wooldridge now has a website where she can display her photography and allow clients to log in and view, or download, full sized photographs
from their sessions/events. I designed a back office system for Abby that gives her the ability to control every aspect of her relationship
with her clients from one management tool.

Vinatage Campers owner Dan Piper wanted the website created in two phases. The first thing we did
was to bring the look and feel of the website into the 21st century. In phase two, I designed a
Vintage Parts eStore from the ground up. Dan now has a way to handle incoming orders, inventory, and customers and a
Shopping Cart system that interfaces with PayPal to handle the transactions.

Hochstedler Fine Art Gallery has a flash display that is used to show off artwork in several different mediums. In conjunction with the flash
setup, a lightbox display is used to show off larger versions of the artwork in a pop up that is less obtrusive than having a completely new
browser window open. PayPal is also integrated to allow for easy online selling.
