"Many newcomers are plunging into the web design market without the benefit of an experienced mentor. They are seeking many of the tips and experiences that other web designers have already picked up along the way. Like others, I am frequently asked to share my knowledge, my experiences, and even the lessons I've learned from my blunders. I hope this book will help fill that gap so others can get a jump start into a great business that can delight clients and reward good work." "Web designing is a wonderful business to be involved in and for all of those that have helped me over the years, this is my way of saying thanks by passing along some of what I've learned, for others starting out." -- Jim Smith, Blarneystone, LLC |
"How to Start a Home-Based Web Design Business" is a book for anyone that has started -- or is interested in starting -- to design web sites for businesses.
If you already have the book and would like to see the supplemental information (contract, notes, links, corrections), I have a page for those.
Many of my blog entries are Tips for Fellow Web Designers and answers to follow-up questions that come into my email box.
If you are ready to set up shopping carts for your clients and want to know how I deal with credit card questions, you can go to my credit card section. My credit card guy will be glad to help you if you want to use him to set up your clients (or yourself!). I use Zen-Cart (www.zencart.com) for my cleints' e-commerce but that may be too much if you are just starting out.
If you want to set up a server for your clients, I use, and recommend ServerPros.com. They are good people and are knowledgable and helpful. Tell them you were sent by Blarneystone and I'm sure they will take good care of you.
Read some unsolicited testimonials that people have sent about the book.
