About Rowboat Media Web Design company in Sioux Falls, United States
Ah the old existential question.
But I dont suppose you REALLY want to know about me on THAT level do you?
Im Cynthia LaLuna McNally and Im the founder of this little enterprise. (No not THAT Enterprise although I hope we all live long and prosper – isnt that what were trying to do here?)
Some time around 1980 I sat down at my first personal computer – a Radio Shack TRS-80 and I was captivated. All I could do was draw pretty pixel pictures that took hundreds of the most rudimentary lines in BASIC to achieve and I never could figure out how to get those lines to save to my cassette tape but it was a whole new world.
Fast forward to the mid-90s and cue the shriek of a dial-up modem and a Prodigy account – online communication was suddenly available to the masses. I could talk to people all over the globe with similar interests!
By the turn of the millennium I had made hundreds of posts and several good friends on the This Old House forums and learned all sorts of tips and tricks like how to get black carpet glue off of vintage hardwood floors.
It may not come as a surprise then that TRANSFORMATION is my jam. Whether its ripping out old carpet and repainting a house or transforming your online home into a welcoming engaging place for visitors to hang out thats what gets me out of bed in the morning.
I hand-built my first website for a photography studio back in 2002 and knew I was in love.
Heres the third-person press-release version:

Once your website launches Selena Darter is your new best friend. Tirelessly working in the background Selena follows the goofy creative types around with wet wipes calendars full of deadlines and annoying yet unassailable logic.
Selena is the one we go to with technical questions from clients like ’How hard would it be to make the users screen smell like elderberries?’
If you join our maintenance program youll soon feel that you owe her several adult beverages. She likes margaritas and works overtime for chocolate.
If youve got a Rowboat Media website dating from 2010-2018 odds are Deborah designed it. Her fingerprints are ALL over the portfolio section of our website.
After about 8 years toiling away in the Rowboat Deborah has moved on to other artistic pursuits but shell never be forgotten – and shes still around when you least expect her. You can find her visual stylings and LOTS of cat photos over on the Instagram.
