Do You Have What it Takes to be a Freelance Web Designer or Developer?
Feb 22nd 2010 by
For the past year, I have been doing freelance web programming and some web design for various clients, and I must say that the job is more difficult then I even could have imagined. I worked for in-house companies for seven years, before becoming a freelancer, and I must say that I wish I had known what freelancing entailed before I got myself into it. Now, I am not trying to be a pessimist, because the truth is that being a freelance web designer or developer is one of the most rewarding careers or opportunities you could have, but it is also packed with challenges that need to be considered before you step into the world of a freelancer. When I first decided to become a freelancer, I thought it would involved me being able to work in my boxers, watch TV, and take vacations whenever I wanted, but the truth is freelance work is challenging work; so are you up to the challenge. Do you have what it takes to be a freelance web designer or developer? Check out these 15 things to consider, and you decide!
24We are Calling all Web Designers and Developers: We Want to Know the REAL You
Feb 17th 2010 by
This post is the foundation for a personal interview series we will start next week, where we will interview various web designers and developers that have been suggested to us by our readers! We want to delve into their creative minds, and get to know what really makes them tick! Inspired by Brian K. McDaniel, a fellow web designer and blogger’s idea of the, “Behind the Avatar” series, we want to get to know more about the people we follow on Twitter, the designers and developers we chat with, the people our readers follow on Twitter, and the designers and developers behind the blogs. The first thing I do when someone adds me on Twitter, is visit their blog to read the “about us” page, but usually that just leaves me wanting to know more; I want to know the person behind the blog.

In 2004, a television phenomenon began on ABC where several castaways landed on a strange island, and adventure after adventure began to unfold. For those Losties out there, you know I am talking about LOST, and for everyone else that have never heard of LOST, you can come out from under your rock! I absolutely love the LOST program, and from what I have seen, it is popular among designers, developers, and fellow computer geeks. So, in honor of the last Season of this extraordinary television series, I have searched for the most amazing LOST inspired pieces of art work.

1Web Accessibility: 6 Reasons Why Its Important
Feb 9th 2010 by
Web accessibility is the idea of making websites easily accessed by all types of people including those with certain disabilities, different languages, or lack of access to certain technology. The notion is derived from the fact that all people should be given equal opportunity to access websites regardless of their limitations. It is important for you to consider that a certain percentage of your site’s visitors will be in this category. When websites are properly designed, developed and edited, your web accessibility will increase because all people will be able to use, function, and navigate through your site with ease. In my opinion, no matter what stage you are in the website process, every step of the way, you should consider making your website more user-friendly.
