Mark has always found himself in the world of web development, proficient in all the right areas, eagerly learning and adapting with the changing tides of technology.

A veteran of the web that survived the early years of dancing hamsters and MySpace’s “throw it all at the wall and play music too” aesthetic, web developer Mark Bell is furry, cuddly, and near-sighted. Much like the disembodied voice in “Field of Dreams,” Mark’s oft-uttered “if you design it, I will build it” is both soothing and slightly haunting, but in a “can do” kinda way.

As the former owner/publisher of FilmThreat.com, Mark brings the experience of not just developing a site that will endure, but also what that means and entails for the client requesting the build; he knows it’s about more than just the code behind the scenes, but the reasons for the code and what the client wants. And lest anyone has any visions in their head of a guy slumped over a computer in a dark office for the last 20+ years (not far off but not accurate either), Mark has had an eclectic career that includes everything from being a seasonal snowboarding instructor to a professional film critic to a Montessori teacher (who was also in charge of adapting the classroom and school website for online instruction during the pandemic).
