Website Business Tips

I love the blog at WebDistortion.com. I subscribe to it via my Google homepage and look forward to reading every post. Here are some recent posts from Paul, the author, a web designer in Ireland:

The newbie guide to running a design business. Part 1. This post contains many helpful tips on how to come up with appropriate estimates for websites, write contracts and proposals, keep track of your time, and manage projects.

The newbie guide to running a design business. Part 2. In this post, Paul follows up with good advice about testing, making courtesy calls after the site is finished, and 6 ways to make a client happy.

And my recent favorite post:

Dude -”I need a website, how much is that?” Helpful links to other design companies request for proposal and estimate request worksheets. I think it’s a great idea to have clients write their requirements rather than get these verbally, as the worksheets help clients think through their needs more thoroughly, leaving less surprises later.
