Web Site Gallery

Web Fin staff members have been creating web sites since 1988, when the world wide web was just beginning and Microsoft considered it just an amusement that had no future potential and was not worthy of any significant develpment efforts. Our early sites were hand-coded and ran mainly on Netscape Navigator.

Development was done at two different companies co-founded by Web Fin’s founders: Vvid Visions (1988-1996), and Interactive Frontiers (1996-2001) and its affiliate, Insite Web Design (2000-2001). The sites listing below were developed primarily by Web Fin’s founders as part of their participation in these companies. Some sites, sucha s the one done for the University of Michigan’s housing department, contained very advanced features such as virtual video tours of dorms.

Listed below are some of the web sites developed by Web Fin staff to aid you in deciding what features and appearance will be included in your web site. Just click on the name or image for any site below to learn more about its features and functions.
