Thanks.
^ That's pretty neat
I've always wanted to learn more about webdesign. I did teach myself some basic HTML, but I haven't really taught myself anything more than that.
Ive been running my own web design business for about 8 years now. Works out well for me. Meetings are always tough. I had to do a board meeting presenation once and that totally freaked me out (wont do that again!) Sometimes people just want to meet you and suss you out before you get the job. I worked at home for a while but things started to get real busy and I had to move out and get an office. I have an employee now which can be hard for me interacting at times. If I get big projects, I hire a coder for database & high security stuff. We do all design, HTML, CSS in-house though. You can also check out Business Catalyst (just google it) who provide a business solution for designers. It lets you create pretty full on sites without being a hardcore coder. Their email hosting really sux though. As others have said Dreamweaver is the go
Glad you like it
I was looking for a career in this area, but thought theres no point now. So off to music technology me thinks.
Depends on the day. Some days are. Its just me, another guy and a part time book-keeper. Ive only recently found out about SA. It manifests itself into everything I do.. work being just one of them. If I was more of a businessman I'd be doing really well. Im more of a creative type with my head in the clouds most of the time
Working for yourself is pretty easy going. Having employees is a whole different ball game. I often wonder whether it's worth it.. things were much easier when I was by myself. Freelancing is pretty easy but will take you a while to establish working relationships. You just need to build your contacts and do your best to keep them happy. They will give you more work and you can establish long term relationships. All the work I get is via word-of-mouth and the work just seems to cruise along now... took a while to build the client base though
