Even worth making a portfolio?

I guess this can be sort of related to somebody that has actually gotten business of these portfolio sites… The following is my situation… I’ve always been interested in the web/computers. I started building my first webpages after i was… oh, declare probably 10-12 (’91-93: dismayed. In any instance I never took it seriously, although as time elevated I learned brand-new things here as well as there, eventually getting to the stage of writing my own html code, then I attempted ASP and today I’m pretty sufficient in PHP and also knowing some quite basic perl. This past year I got a career in an skill gallery taking photos with a digital camera and cleaning them up to send to this webmaster of internet. sdgallery. com. Hence.. I learned lots of Photoshop real quick after which it played with them on my own to the point where I can design my own , personal stuff now half way decent. I’ve also gamed around with flash somewhat (only know how to do movies right now) Today.. as far as getting covered webdesign, it’s all just sort of fallen into my own lap. People here as well as there have inquired me … Continue reading

Needing advice on design fees?

I am designing two sites for a friend, which started an online business 6 months ago and it also has taken out of beyond her anticipations. I am about to see her this kind of weekend and she’s already approved my own design layout intended for her sites. My question is, I am going to discuss the expenses with her just before I start art so that there’s no miscommunication between individuals. Each site will include things like approximately 12+ pages and We were thinking of loading her $500 each one. What do you would imagine and/or charge for your services I typically charge more to get a company that My organization is not so acquainted with, but a family friend is a different story. Many thanks $500 for each page is really hefty.. especially considering she is a family companion. I’m assuming you’re dealing with $500 for each one site, which I do believe is fair. $1000 for 24+ pages is quite reasonable, IMO. If you’re talking about $500 the page, I hope they’re created from gold. Depends on what kind of money she’s making and simply how much she’ll be expecting for making from the web page. Also … Continue reading

any ideas on….

I don’t have not too much that will put on my selection, do you have got any idea upon getting something done that can put on my collection: dead: Get do a area charity/non-profit, offer to produce a website. Make some sites upward… the fact which you made it provides enough reason helping put it in your own portfolio, the site doesn’t has to be real. For charity jobs check out www. volunteermatch. org. Additionally, if you are usually promoting yourself locally head to some local sets (schools, clubs, systems, etc) to you are not selected your services. It is usually better to voluntter locally if that’s where you’re gonna build your biz. Yes – just building stuff up is definitely cool too. That and volunteering is what I did when I first started last Strut, and since then I have been hired for plenty of jobs. It works.

Web Design Pricing?

Yo, so heres your deal… I work at a sports memorabilia shop, and on the side do a little website development. My coworker features a friend that owns a rims firm and needs a site. This guy can be well off, 20 and already creating 150-200k+ just selling these rims. Thus… what he needs is: 1)A graphically desirable website with web pages for news, phone info, advertising, jobs, etc 2)60+ quite a few pages for rims, I’d probably use the script so i will add/edit/delete tehm easily 3) a function where you possibly can type in make/model/year within your car and find available rims (not sure how ill do this yet, probably many forms/cgi-scripts. So I’ll have some good looking to good graphics, professional however atractive, with SSI, and several cgi-scripts which would spend some time to adjust exactly into the sites needs. What would have been a good price quote for like this I am confident I could do an great job, so quality probably will not an issue. Likewise, I’m not positive if he’d need me to hold anything, but what would have been a good price quotation on maintaining features or other things Thanks guys, -ty charge … Continue reading

Trying to sell services (not an ad)

I work with a local laptop or computer company, and we do web page design. It is not only a huge part involving our business, but I am the one who seem to makes the web-sites, talks directly towards customers etc.. So I have a certain amount of experience as a long way as that is going. Right now, we only help to make sites for nearby businesses etc.. and I am wanting to start off offering services average joe. As to certainly not conflict, it are not any local firms, only through the online world. It will not be a challenge seperating the not one but two. Now I understand I cannot (and would not want to) add some sites I devised for ‘work’ in an affordable portfolio. What I do can do is start my own , personal portfolio, but starting certainly is the trickiest part. I never have sold any web services outside my company.. so my question is usually, Is it okay to just get started churning out layouts to set up a portfolio While it would display a variety of styles etc.. it could not be a true portfolio.. but seems like it would no … Continue reading

Fixed image at the bottom of browser window

Check out this http: //www. eyeball-design. com/fxzone/frames02. htm see the navigation strip that is always in view at the end of the internet page how might i manage to do that Thx ahead It’s the frameset. It’s rather basic stuff. Have a look at http: //www. w3schools. com/html/html_frames. asp oh right… well now i recognize… thx The best solution, if IE backed it, would be to apply the css place: fixed; bottom: 0px; homes. That way you might bypass frames altogether. Your position: fixed property should really align elements in accordance with the browser eye-port, so a base: 0px rule should cause a component to attatch to the bottom of this browser.. and it works generally in most modern browsers. However apparently nobody sent MS that memo. Very well, if you evaluate that site, them uses frames. And you can get it to job in IE, having a little trickery. Yes I recognize that site functions frames. I were arguing that position, or if IE backed frames. Clearly IE really does supports them, and it has for several years. My point is there is theoretically other ways you might achieve the exact effect without using frames. It ment the idea … Continue reading
