Since that time, we have had the pleasure of working with clients and partners who seek to stretch the envelope of technology and whose design talents make our work shine. Along with our partners, we've won Adrian Awards, Web Awards, Communicator Awards, Davey Awards...just to name a few. So who are we?

So who is Internet Simplicity, you ask?

Barbara O Stephenson | CEO

Barbara draws on vast experience to help guide our clients and keep the team having fun. Having worked the front lines from customer sales to client services, she understands how important it is to have tools that work well and as expected. With her stints at e-Bay, Bonhams, and a number of online startups, she's familiar with technology to be able to get to the heart of what we need, solve the underlying business issue and make things work. When she's not at work, she's watching anime, raising a teenager, and napping.

Rex Vokey | CTO

Rex is someone who enjoys running distances that make most of us cringe and climbing mountains that terrify general society. As a result, his determination and tolerance for suffering make him hard working and beyond persistent. His broad experience (ranging from programming and server maintenance to design, facility operations, human resources and motorcycles) allows him to accommodate the wide range of skills needed to ensure we meet our customer's needs. Rex has been working with web development in its various forms since the early days of the Internet.

Joren Mathews | Lead Developer

Joren has been creatively solving problems and building awesome websites since the early days of Internet Simplicity. Joren is extremely adept with HTML/CSS programming, Drupal, WordPress, JavaScript and has a breadth of experience in programming business websites (having worked on hundreds of individual websites).

Chantel Gonzales | Project Manager, Developer

With 8 years of coding and 4 years of IT (business development) experience under her belt, Chantel makes for an ideal Project Manager. She has a wealth of knowledge and abilities including; Project Management, Content Management, CSS, Git, Javascript, HTML, PHP, etc. Chantel loves, “working with our clients and helping them to get the most out of the awesome technologies we know so much about, and teaching them how to use the things we build.” Her words, not ours. Being someone who is almost always smiling she brings a great attitude to the game. Combine that with her love for coding and we can guarantee she will make something to make others smile, too.

Justin Steffas | Project Manager, Developer

When he’s not drawing or involved in other sorts of creative wizardry, Justin is hard at work managing our clients website maintenance projects. No project is too small or big for Justin.

Reilly Sweetland | Founder

Reilly started Internet Simplicity out of his house in 2003 as a one-man band. As a self-learning enthusiast, he taught himself the various programming, design, sales, marketing, seo and analytics skills needed to deliver projects for the first years in business. As the company gained momentum by word of mouth, Reilly built a team and focused the company's offering on technical partnerships. Reilly is also the co-founder of a successful email productivity product. When not at his computer, you will probably find him listening to audiobooks, climbing mountains with Rex or playing with his kids.
