Twenty sites and counting. What I've learned

Saturday, 18 August 2007 15:02 by James Johnson

It's been a fast year. Carmina and I have just finished up our 20th site, and more are in the pipline. The last three weeks we've pumped out 10 sites. What have I learned about all this?

1. CSS is my friend. At first I couldn't get my head wrapped around it, but now I'm a convert.
2. Be as simple as you can, while still putting that "sparkle" on a project
3. Don't let my ego get in the way. Carmina is the one who talks with the clients, knows what they want and like, even if its a mint green background with yellow borders. The customer is king.
4. Use GoDaddy for the brochure sites
5. Pace yourself. Don't try to do it all in an evening, spend time to learn new things, sharpen the saw
6. Most importantly, have a great partner by your side, who appreciates what you're doing.
