The Journey-a very curvy road
9/12/2008 external link
Hi, I am new to the forum, but not to web design. Let me tell you a brief, hopefully not too boring background story. My purpose, is that I need desperately to dialogue about getting my business launched. But I have a lot jumbled in my brain, so I am going to make a couple of posts. This one is a description of my journey. It has been a 10 year journey. In '98 my son who was weened on DOS ...
HTML vs. Flash vs. PHP,ASP,.NET?
11/12/2008 external link
I have read that you don't want a site developed entirely in Flash because robots/crawlers can't read it - use it sparingly - incorporate HTML so crawlers can crawl it and index you accordingly. This I understand and have steered clients away from Flash based sites and really promoted HTML based sites for the reasons stated. Now I am viewing the source of higher ranking sites - found using ...
I want a pre-made website
1/11/2008 external link
Hello, Is it possible to find somewhere that sells a pre-made website? I just want like 5 pages for Home, About Us, etc. No shopping cart or real advanced stuff. I've seen those pretty-looking templates you can buy from TemplateMonster and they would be perfect except it seems like you have to be a web designer to implement them. You still have to know how to install and edit it, plus figure out ...
Branding dialogue
9/12/2008 external link
What do I want to dialogue about? Branding The name I have licensed with the state is Frontdoor Web Design. So, I have two web site designs, but no logo. One site I love the other I think is cleaner. I think my identity as a web designer called Frontdoor should come from the idea of a guest or client coming to your front door and welcoming him/her into your world. So, on my ...
Targeting Clients
9/12/2008 external link
This time I want to dialogue about targets. Because of my entrepreneurial heart I think it makes sense to target the new small business. Secondly, I think homeschoolers who share my independent spirit, who want to market the curriculum they wrote or have an online bookstore. Which makes me also think about targeting self-publishers. I have done the work of using key words in my ...

Managing business portfolio ( hosting, domains, passwords )
27/8/2008 external link
As our client list grows, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to manage information and billing for clients. Does anyone have suggestions for portfolio management / billing management application? I have not had much luck in finding one, and have resorted to building a locally ran web app to track them.
The ethics of domain names
27/11/2008 external link
A few years ago I redesigned my step-son's website, registered his domain name with a well known and (Here privately) recommended hosting company and everything ran like a charm. Until the twerp (My step-son that is,) defaulted on the yearly payments. They, reasonably so I thought, demanded back payment before releasing the hold on his site. The twerp decided to go with a new host and asked ...
Deadline comes and goes - website still not finished
25/11/2008 external link
How do you guys handle things when deadlines come and go and the website still isn't finished? I have 4 unfinished projects and they are delayed for various (and valid, I might add) reasons. The reasons range from personal issues to family emergencies (only one has given the reason that he just hasn't had time to gather the material for me). I totally get that things happen and sometimes ...
