    Looking for a business partner - Web business

    Sure, of course you'd want to generate a healthy profit, but there's other reasons people look for a business partner. That's really all I was saying. Anyway, you have my details if you want to talk more.

    Looking for a business partner - Web business

    Websites: what is the average cost of design / develop a WordPress site?

    Try not to think about it in terms of the time it takes, but more the value you're adding to your clients business. If you can create a site that starts getting results, then you could (or should) be charging £5K+, but if it's not delivering a return, then you probably won't be able to charge...

    Looking to work with Indian Webdesign and development company.

    Greetings of the day! (wink, wink) I've worked with a few over the years, and you'll have the initial 'honeymoon period' where things go reasonably well. A few weeks/months in, and things turn to sh*t. I ended up spending so much time micro managing, it just wasn't worth it. Never forget the...

    Graphic design services online ... failing ?

    Hi.. I've been in the design game 20+ years so I have a solid reputation and I'm fortunate that I find it very easy to pick up work. If you can share some of your design/marketing work, I might be able to give you some advice on what is, or isn't working.
