It's been a while since i've been around here, but things are getting quieter now so i'm back! I was just wondering if anyone here could give me their opinion on a web design business i'm starting with a friend. Basically he's a pretty good designer and i'm good at website backends so we've decided to give it a go so we've both got more drinking money  I've slapped up a template today and I wanted to know what you people think about it - does it look professional enough, etc.? http://www.opensourceproject.net/ - http://www.opensourceproject.net/ (Bear in mind we don't have a name yet, so the company name and logo still need to be placed in the header) And has anybody got any hints at getting started in the industry? I know quite a few people around here own thier own web design company. Cheers, Martin. |

My thought is that almost no one makes money at web design or web hosting. You make money by selling business or personal services that utilize the web. So a business site for those services needs to talk about what they can do for people, not how they do it (e.g. web design, development, hosting) ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

Cheers for the advice. We've decided on the name webtellect (not influenced by wintellect of course), and i've made a new decide which I prefer http://webtellect.co.uk/webtellect.png - http://webtellect.co.uk/webtellect.png EDIT: Can anybody give me any advice on what kind of price I should charge? And should graphic design be charged differently to programming? And i'm guessing it's best to charge per hour? |
