By: WebAssist “We are so inspired by Frank and so proud to be living up to our company name,” said Anna Robinson, Vice President at WebAssist. Frank Juskievitz had an accident 32 years ago that left him with debilitating paralysis. As a C7 quadriplegic, his hands were greatly affected, but his arms were not fully paralyzed. Frank eventually learned to adapt to his disability and was driven to begin a new career. He dabbled in web development, using Adobe Dreamweaver. As Frank progressed into custom web development, the hand coding became challenging as it took 4 – 5 times longer to type than an able-bodied person. A colleague introduced him to WebAssist extensions, which provide wizards in Dreamweaver that accelerate website development and reduce hand coding. Frank inverts his mouse so that he can use the palm of his hand to make selections in these wizards. The wizards then generate the code for him, allowing him to offer a full range of custom web development services in a competitive industry. Today, Frank is developing dynamic eCommerce websites and custom content management systems. About WebAssist WebAssist offers free and affordable Dreamweaver extensions and pre-built, customizable online stores to help business owners and web developers quickly build professional websites. ### Media inquiries: Anna Robinson +1.858.768.6600 x112 anna@webassist.com Video link: http://youtu.be/ For more information on WebAssist: http://www.webassist.com?
