    working freelance for a firm?

    Further to what others have said; If it is long term work for an agency I would be inclined to sell my services at a cheaper rate than I would if freelancing. Part of your fee has to go towards finding and dealing with clients which you don't have to do when you work for an agency. In my...

    How did you get started in the business?

    When I was bombing out of uni, I thought about opening a ecommerce store. It failed dismally because I was such a noobie back then. In the beginning It was more or less fun, and as one does the deeper you get the more you learn and things just go on from there. Now 10 years later, because I know...

    Bytewire - Website Review

    I agree with the others, I think it's a really nice looking website. If I was to say something bad it would be that it looks a lot like a lot of other word press sites :) I doubt your potential clients would care about that though. The copy writing is fairly good too, although I dare say if...

    Time spend on SEO for your own site?

    I spend most of my time writing quality articles. Probably 10 hours a week on average for the past 3 months or so. I like to post on forums and that is pretty much the extent of my link building. I just like to relax at the end of the day and spend 30 minutes reading and replying to forums...

    Site is now finished, would love some reviews.

    Hello there, Here are a few comments; On my screen the rotating banner in the middle is half way below the fold. That badly reduces the effects is intended to have because I can only see half of it. The site generally looks quiet aesthetically pleasing. The copy needs some work. It...

    Wed Design Advice?

    lol, at all the guys with links in their responses. Anyway. Design and development is a professional skill. It will cost you more if you are not knowledgeable to gain the knowledge than to pay a web designer who has already spent years refining their skill. Running a business is all about...
