MyOhMy Design is a web development firm that builds "fine web sites that do what needs to be done".  Our web sites aim for world wide web architectural standards adherence and follow, among others, Steve Krug's common sense approach to Web usability ("Don't Make Me Think").  At MyOhMy we think Content is King and Navigation is Queen.  Over the years we have built a number of tools that help our clients create and sustain a web presence including our own proprietary content management system and shopping cart.  For the most part we host the sites we build which eliminates a lot of finger pointing and allows us to maintain and upgrade our proprietary systems more efficiently.

MyOhMy's principal is John Ailor.  John is a College of William & Mary philosophy major who also holds an undergraduate degree in Finance and a MBA.  He is a non-practicing CPA and has over 15 years experience as a Finance executive for Fortune 500 companies.  John's career took him from Financial Reporting and Analysis to Financial Systems Consultant to ERP implementation project management to MyOhMy.  Throughout his career John always had a penchant for building database applications and was an early  enthusiast of the World Wide Web. When "dynamic websites" (i.e., database-backed sites with dynamically generated content) replaced static web pages about ten years ago, John could hardly wait to get involved.  That  "kid in a candy store" enthusiasm for the all things web manifested itself in MyOhMy Design.


 
What's up with that name? When we decided to start creating web sites for profit in July 2002, we wanted our name to be expressive and memorable.  On a hot summer afternoon our principal overheard his youngest daughter singing an old southern folk song made popular by the Walt Disney company and thought it was about time to revive the expression "my oh my".  Being a web development firm, we had no use for spaces or sense of proper capitalization and MyOhMy was coined.  While it's a little hard for some people to read, we've gotten everything from "oh my god" to "my-o-me", it certainly served us well as a conversation starter.
