Kaitlin Whitaker
Web Designer

Kaitlin graduated in February of 2011 with a degree in Web Graphic Design from DeVry University. She started working at Wide Web Marketing in July of 2011. As a teenager she wanted to be a programmer but after graduating from high school she decided to become a web designer. She decided to apply her graphic design skills to the web because she has always been fascinated by how websites work. In addition, since web design is always changing and evolving, Kaitlin enjoys using her spare time to challenge herself by designing and coding small web sites to test new ideas, and studying new tutorials to stay current on the latest design trends.

Outside of work she enjoys hanging out at the beach (when visiting her boyfriend's family in Florida) as well as playing online computer games, listening to music, and spending time with her two nieces.

Karen Lagrange Cox
Internet Marketing - Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialist & Pay-per-click Specialist

Karen firmly believes that it is not enough to just have a web presence. She is keenly aware of the importance of a website's "searchability" and incorporates Search Engine Optimization (SEO) into each client's overall web strategy to result in the highest possible rankings for clients.

Additionally, she has experience in accessible web design – ensuring that a site can be interpreted by visitors with disabilities (e.g., sight- and hearing-impaired individuals). Karen’s advocacy for people with disabilities is a passion that has personal origins for her as mother of a daughter with cerebral palsy. Karen has been an advocate for more than 20 years for people with developmental disabilities at both the local and federal levels.

Outside of work Karen enjoys walking, listening to music, cooking, being an amateur photographer and spending quality time with family and friends.

Josh Langford
Internet Marketing - Pay-per-click Specialist

Josh graduated in accounting from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and built his first website in 1999 using Frontpage. It was while managing his own websites and client sites that Josh discovered the power of a new form of advertising through search engines. Josh's expertise in pay-per-click advertising allows Wide Web Marketing to offer it's clients not just a website but a way to market that website across the web.

Outside the office, Josh is passionate about his wife, Jen, their 5 kids (and one on the way!) and promoting clean water solutions in Africa through the non-profit he founded called Hope for Water.
