Hello Everyone,

I have completed a baby store online. Here is the link: www.lapetiteplayhouse.com.
Please let me knwo what you think, as I have put a lot of hard work into it.

My clients are able to manage their site, add products and manage orders, newsletters, and customers accounts quite easily...

To make things easy, we used the "monster e-commerce". This online e-commerce is actually pretty nice and allow a lot of cool stuff.

Anyway, I have few projects coming up. This is always a good thing!

So stay tune for new projects and dont hesitate to share your thoughts with me :-)

New Projects!

Spring is here. It's tough to stay in front of the PC!

Nevertheless I always find some sort of inspiration. I am actually working on a new project.
It is a web site for a CNC Machining company locates in San Diego. This is very exciting as this industry is totally new to me.

Many engineers use this type of services. This client is a pro of machines and tools of precision.

I am still working on the development of the web site. It takes often multiple phases before the completion of the web site. it is going to be http://www.surreyprecision.com/sample2.html

Hope to have more to share very soon.

And don't forget, a web site is as important as a business card!

Hi Everyone,

It is difficult to keep up with everything, but I thought I would share some of my new projects with you all.

I have been creating few flash banners for various companies. I also just completed a couple of web sites. There is www.commerciallockandsafe.com and www.royaltymediaandentertainment.com. They were nice projects.

I am currently working on few new projects. One web site for a photographer. Another web site for a Machinist.

Don't worry I have room for other projects, so call me if you have any request regarding a web site project that you would like to get done. Here is my portfolio: www.uswebdesigner.com

How important is it to have someone update your web site?

Unfortunately a lot of web sites out there are never updated with new and current information. People get really picly on how their web site is going to look but never think about the content and how they are going to keep their web site current, interesting and informational.

A web site should always have current and up-to-date information. It's good for your business and it's good for the search engines.

It is true that many web designers try to make their money on web site maintenance and web site updates.

It is really important for people to make sure to know what are the rates for updates and maintenance services for their web site once it has been completed.

As far as I am concerned, I like to offer a web package. I include the hosting and the maintenance in one price for the year. It seems fair.

Of course, you must have a solid contract with the client. How many changes per month and what type of changes will be done each month.

If the changes have to do with the web site layout or graphics then I charge an hourly fee.

Anyway, my advice is to think long term when you get your web site designed.

Have someone that will be able to update your web site on a yearly basis.

If you need more information on my web site services, check http://www.uswebdesigner.com or www.smithwebdesign.com.

You all take care now.

Hi

I have been busy working on a couple of new web sites.

The first web site is almost done. You can review it at www.mwdcabinets.com. I really like the way the web site turned out.

My second web site project is still in progress. www.olaislife.com This one is going to be a great project.

I have other web site projects coming soon. How exciting!

Hope you all doing great.

I am working on a very fun project that hopefully will pay back. I am planning on setting up a directory. It is taking me a while and hard work to develop this project. The structure of the whole web site is what is the most difficult to think.

Everything must be clean and easy to navigate. If you don't have an idea on how your web site will be structured then might as well forget about it.

I like to jet down some ideas on paper. Make a list of all the important web pages and what will appear as a menu on the homepage.

Once you know what links what and how your site map is going to look like you can go wild on the layout.

Hi Everyone,

As a professional web site designer, I have experienced a lot of changes.

I love what I do, but the market is tough. Designing custom web sites is what I do the best. However, it is a struggle to compete against ugly, cheap templates.

Everybody wants to make money, everybody wants to be ranking. The funny thing is that Business owners and independent professionals spend a lot of money perfecting their identity with fancy business cards and complicated brochures.

When it comes to their web sites, nothing matters anymore. It's all about ranking!!

Check some of the Real Estate web sites??

You don't know where to go. You don't know what to read.

Anyway, who's fault is it? Like I have always said, there is only "1" first place on the search engines!

Web site optimization is important, but we must remember web sites'purpose, which is delivering good content and providing a professional and appealing layouts to the visitors.
