How Web Freelancers Can Survive the Recession
Nov 19th 2009 by
Lets face it, the economy is still struggling, and though it is improving, there are still signs everywhere that we are still in a recession. Prices are rising, unemployment is growing, and people everywhere can feel the stress of this recession. About 2 months ago, I wrote an article about job seeking tips called, “8 Job Seeking Tips for Web Designers and Developers.” In that article, I discussed tips for freelancers who wanted to seek in-house employment, since the economy was difficult for freelancers to make a living. After that article, many freelancers contacted us saying that they actually wanted to stay doing freelance in this economy, and they wanted some tips as to how to continue doing freelance, and survive this recession at the same time. So, we listened to our viewers, and answered their wish!
38 Tips Concerning Domain Names
Nov 15th 2009 by
I call it the “Domain Game.” Now days it can be almost impossible to select a domain name for your business’s website. When I get a project, many times the client will give me a list of ten or more possible domain names, and I have to respectfully suggest that they make me another list of ten after I have explained to them my tips for selecting a good domain name. Many times they are too long, too hard to spell, or just too generic. Another big issue these days is the buying up of domain names. Many times you cannot even get your company’s name, because they have been bought up by people to sell the domain later at a higher price. continue reading
15Design and Art: Are They the Same?
Nov 11th 2009 by
What is design? What is art? Are they one in the same? Are they mutually exclusive? The worlds of arts and design, and what they signify, was something I was wanted to delve into and explore more deeply, after someone just recently called me an “artist.” I have never thought of myself as an artist, because I recognize myself as a designer. Thus, I immediately corrected the person; by saying I was not an artist, but rather a designer. The next logical question which proceeded was, “what is the difference between the two?” I was able to create a reasonable explanation on a whim, but it did spur my curiosity to explore and ponder the question more fully. Now, to be truly honest, I think this is one of those issues that could be argued for years and years and never really resolved; however, at the same time, it is a topic that I think is worth discussing.
14AdmixWeb: Brainstorming our New Design!
Nov 7th 2009 by
At AdmixWeb, we are in the midst of an envolution of design, and we are currently brainstorming new ideas to update and improve our site! Many people ask me when is the right time to redesign your site. Is there a time frame to follow? Is there a formula to know when you should mix things up and freshen up the style of your page? Well, the honest truth is, not really. When I am given a design project of any kind, I do a checklist of what kind of style, color, font, layout, etc that particular company needs and what their viewers will like, and then I start my work. The design of any project must be compatible with the company for which that project is for, and the clients or users who which will utilize that design. continue reading
