Ginna Allison, Web DeveloperAfter twenty years as an award-winning public radio producer, Ginna Allison began developing Web sites in the mid-90's when getting a picture to line up on the page was pretty high-tech. Since then she has played a primary role in the production of over forty sites, from small “online brochures” to interactive, database-driven research tools. With most web projects she takes on two roles: content developer, information designer and writer; and coordinator of the project and its team of designers, programmers and others. She particularly enjoys creating sites related to public and noncommercial radio, including Youth Radio's first site ten years ago and the current Pacifica Radio Archives site.
