.: A Short Story :.

The little lady and I have a condo in Florida, and last time we went down, I brought the laptop to work on some designs while on vacation (yes, I am aware that I am a nerd). I visited the website for the management company which runs our condo and thought it may be fun to design a new website for them. I noticed that their current site was rather... *cough* ..."dated".

So, on a nice sunny day, I clicked a bunch of photos with the digital camera, worked out some easy-to-read content and mocked the whole thing together. I lumbered over to the manager to pitch the "new" website to him, and low and behold......his GRANDSON designed the website for them (because "he's taking a computer course in school")

Ack!

Oh well, you live and learn.

Since then, I have actually had positive results with businesses who have had the FP'ers design their sites. Usually, these people are very interested in creating a more "professional" look for their company and understand that it will cost more than what they paid their neighbours-friends-cousins-brother-in-law, who does web design out of his basement apartment.

No offence to anyone who works out of their basement apartment.
