About Friendly Machine

Hi, my name is John Hannah and I've been creating websites professionally since 2000. I'm also the guy that writes this blog.

Although what I write here is mostly about the Drupal content management system, I also discuss marketing, content strategy and other areas of interest for people that love building great websites.

How I Got Here

My first break came when I redesigned a website as an intern for the Idaho State Library. Six months later I was working for a Seattle HR consultancy where I strengthened my design skills and was introduced to web marketing.

In 2004, I began working with the University of Arizona. A few years later I picked up a MBA from Arizona State University, which helps explain my strong interest in the business side of websites. By fall of 2011, I was ready to do my own thing and started a Tucson web design consultancy, Redpoint Web Marketing.
