Introduction For the past eleven years I have been working in the web designing and development field, specifically for colleges and universities. Beginning at Peirce College, while pursuing my undergraduate degree in information technology, and working as a work-study student on the college’s website, I was able to acquire experience and web development and design techniques that are used in a higher educational setting. After graduation from Peirce, I was employed as the web manager and eventually assistant director of web communications at Philadelphia University, where I continued to learn techniques specific for universities, such as how to design site that appeal to prospective students, how to manage different faculty, staff, and departments online needs, and how to build successful online promotional campaigns and initiatives. Now at Saint Joseph’s University, I am currently putting a lot of previously gain experience to work, learning more about being at a larger institution, but attainment more knowledge of business, and becoming more rounded, by working in the executive MBA program. With the experience I have from being at three different education institutions, that vary in size, popularity, and process from a web development standpoint, along with the business education I acquire from being in the EMBA program, I want to put them both to use building a web consulting firm that caters to the web development needs of educational institutions.

“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be

During the last decade, we’ve been to the top of the world—during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s—and back down again, when it all fell apart a few years later. But with the bad came the good: The Web forever changed the business world. The following small-business owners are shining examples of how Web-based technologies can be a businessperson’s best friend.
Since its comet-like boom in the nineties the internet has attracted myriads of companies to do business on this boundaryless media. And the boom does not seem to stop. eCommerceis a catchword, which stands for a whole branch of new types of businesses that mushroomed up in the last couple of years. Retailers, all sorts of companies, even law offices are using the web for their daily business. There seems to be no comparable other way to develop and exploit global markets. The internet is more and more used as a fast, innovative and cost-saving tool to gain and serve customers where they feel most comfortable and relaxed, namely right in their office or at home (Jonscher, 1999, p.204). In the following there are just three examples of companies, which base a significant fraction of their business on the web.
The development and growth of the Worldwide Wide Web have had an enormous impact on several areas including government, business, and even education. The WEB facilitates the quick and easy exchange of information between millions of people. Due to the growing availability and use of computers in classrooms, many of these WEB users are students. This increase in use is due in part to programs such as the IBM Teacher Preparation Grant Schools. This program "aims to promote technology growth in classrooms and to assist teacher education programs in providing quality technology training" (Larsen, 2). Teachers use the WEB in the classroom in three ways: as a resource for teachers, as a resource for students, and as a mode for students to create resources on the Internet.
The personal plan has enabled me to track myself on my developmental changes that are important for my achievement of set goals. Planning has also allowed me to keep track of all the steps that I will need to acquire skills and knowledge. I have also been able to see that if I continue in my current method I will not achieve all of my goals and through techniques such as SWOT analysis I have identified these areas and begun to create methods to fix this problem. The basic purpose of this essay is to point out my personal and professional skill development because these two areas are interwoven.
Web design is the method of making websites. It encompasses many different aspects, together with web page layout, content production, and graphic style. Whereas the terms internet design and internet development are typically used interchangeably, internet design is technically a set of the broader class of internet development. It is formed by using a language called HTML which contains the satisfied content and the Meta data of individual page and they also provide CSS for the web page which will appear in the browser.
Another benefit of using this action plan is that it helps to create milestones and timelines, which are essential for skill development and achieving success. Additionally, it can help identify other options as I progress on this career journey.
When planning for our future it is important to have clear goals in mind and to understand the steps that need to be taken to achieve those goals. My long-term goal is to run my own counseling center and employee at least one other person. Some Skills I already possess that will allow me to succeed with this plan are my ability to relate to people and be consistent in following the steps needed, even though it will be a long and tedious process.
