Has your website had a aesthetic update lately? If not, you may want to consider breathing some new life into it.

Learning to Freelance Web Design

Description

I’m writing this post because I just finished watching MythBuster Adam Savage give a talk about some of his “Colossal Failures.” He paints a very relate-able portrait of what it’s like to be a freelancer — especially one just starting out — and his trials and tribulations translate almost seamlessly to freelance web design.

When Is It Time to Re-Design?

Description

Here’s a scenario: You want a decent looking website, you want to be able to manage your own content, and you want to keep the price reasonable.

So You Wanna Get A Web Gig?

Description

When I first started doing freelance web design, I figured I’d be doing it as way to earn some supplemental income. A year later, I looked back and realized that my web design had kept me fed, clothed, and sheltered. Clients and prospective web designers always ask me, “Where do you get your business?” To [...]
