About PDG&Associates

PDG & Associates was founded in 1996 by Paul Gurney. He assembled an expert team of designers and programmers to produce creative, effective websites. Fellow associates include Lynn Ericson, Chris Becker, Tim Armstrong, David S. and Brian K. PDG also works closely with Bob Manley Photography, Dietz Associates, Yes! Marketing, Wiggleroom Design and RoundPix Virtual Tours to provide a complete range of services.

As principal of PDG & Associates, Paul's specialties include strategic business analysis, technology issues, user interface design and creative thinking. An important aspect of web application development is website architecture:

What do "website architects" do?
They mastermind the creation of a website's strategy, information structure, visual look and usability design.

During these 14+ years of business PDG has serviced ad agencies, large and small corporations, hotels, photographers, graphic designers, nonprofits, hospitals and more. Our early clients were large Maine advertising agencies; this gave us valuable experience from the outset in thinking big about the business of design and identity, but we didn't sacrifice efficiency and the personal touch due to our size. It's been a great time for all of us, and we look forward to years of creative technology applications!

In the early years, PDG also provided Macintosh/ Windows consulting and networking services for small companies. This hardware/networking experience helped shaped our understanding of how to help businesses better utilize their computer assets.

On a personal note, founder Paul Gurney resided in both Maine and Massachusetts (USA). He studied architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta), but aside from personal green house building projects, his passion became the Internet and the business and global possibilities it sparked. Through the Internet he works with clients and colleagues all over the planet. He enjoys travel and outdoor adventures – trekking off the beaten path or snorkeling in the deep – and values his family and friends, colleagues, and the prospect of peace. His major interests are architecture, technology usability, social philanthropy, synchronicity, composting, herbal healing and natural living.
