About TeachMeWebDesign.com

TeachMeWebDesign.com has the tools and coaching to help small businesses build their web sites easily and affordably. Meet our founder, Katie Zulanas, and this month's featured coaches:


Katie Zulanas, CTO, has been involved with web site design for the past ten years. Katie established TeachMeWebDesign.com after she witnessed many of her friends and small business contacts be unable to afford custom web site design. TeachMeWebDesign.com helps her to help her clients to learn about web technology and use it to grow their business. "Empowering my clients is very satisfying--they can't believe how fast and easy we make web design. Some of our success stories have been amazing!" reports Katie. "Working with our web coaches has really allowed us to partner with small businesses across the country--it is a powerful network.

Originally from Connecticut, Katie graduated from Fairfield University with a Liberal Arts degree, from UCONN with a degree in Software and Electrical Engineering, and from Rensselaer with a Masters in Engineering Operations. After 5 years in Chicago with her husband, their family moved to Denver in 1998. Katie has worked for several large corporations and with small businesses for the past five years. Katie and her husband, Tom, have two boys who keep them busy with all the great Colorado outdoor activities.


Tom Zulanas, VP, most enjoys meeting with small business groups and networking. Tom has worked in the fields of insurance, finance, and management since 1984. Tom was born and raised in Chicago and has his B.S. degree from DePauw University. He was a managing partner in his family's Miller Beer Distributorship in both Illinois and Colorado until its sale in 2000. Having grown up in a small business, Tom loves being able to coach his clients to greater success using technology. When he is not working with clients, Tom is busy coaching basketball and skiing with his two sons.


Gerry King is our Connecticut coaching coordinator. Gerry knows about small business challenges--having worked in a startup company most recently. Gerry is our most educated expert in technology--he has his PhD in Electrical Engineering! He is also an assistant fencing coach at Brown Univerity. It is easy to extend that coaching experience to TeachMeWebDesign.com clients. "My clients appreciate the way we break each class into small steps and then help everyone to work on their website one section at a time. They finish the class self-assured--knowing that they possess the skills necessary to manage their website," comments Gerry. "Our booster classes and online user groups allow us to continue coaching. That commitment makes all the difference!"
