This time, let’s talk about the core stuff. The stuff that is more design-focused. The core of what we do… the basics. Here are the last 5 reasons why I believe that most websites — including my own — kinda, well, suck.

How many times have you thought about whether your website is experiencing downtime? Most of the time we tend to get paranoid over these things and we actually can’t blame ourselves. If your website is down then you’re likely losing out all of your potential customers. It’s really that simple.

If you're a small business owner, you scrutinize every dollar that leaves your bank account and make sure that you will have a strong return on that investment. With credit still in the dumps and margins low, you can't afford to throw away money - as if you could have just two years ago. Now that you need a website, you cringe every time you get a quote or proposal. And you do not want to risk quality or wasting money (no matter how little) by working with an overseas design chop-shop. So, what can you do to save money on your website design costs?

Time is money! How many times have you heard that tired little refrain?
Well, the truth of it is, time is money, especially when you’re a freelancer, and more specifically, if you’re a web designer and developer, like me.
