Re: The state of the web developing biz.

Hello All,

  I'm  also a one person shop but in Victoria, BC and right now business is
  not  bad. Not a full time job yet but I'm only just beginning to get back
  into  it  again (two moves and two new cats). All of my clients have come
  through  referrals  but  I  am  starting to advertise. What I find really
  helps  to get clients is to help them understand why they want a website,
  what  they  can  reasonably expect for it and then figure out a long term
  sort of plan (a very loose plan because nothing ever does go to plan). By
  then  they  have spent some time with you and there is a bit of a bond. I
  look  at  as  a  "It's  in  my  best interest for your business to have a
  successful  website  because  then there is money for more website work."
  They  see  my motivation for doing a good, timely job on their site and,
  of  course, it helps that I charge about 1/2 to a 1/3 less than the other
  companies in town.

  Does having advertising on your car actually help?
