ShrinkTheWeb Innovates Again

Since it looks like two web design jobs I will finish this week will finally pay most of the bills this month, I took a little extra time today (10 hours) to add yet more features to my pet project, ShrinkTheWeb.
I had planned to add full-length, web page thumbnails and custom-sized thumbnails for awhile but [...]

Speed And Determination

I was handed a few more referrals for web design -some through friends and some through my growing network. I’ve been feeling a bit surprised lately that there is still so much demand for new websites and/or re-design. I suppose that -for me and other designers- this is a good thing.
At any rate, a couple [...]

It Is What It Is

Good news first: I just heard back from my potential European client and they said that they have gone from “probably will buy” to “definitely will buy” but they won’t be able to say which pieces of my proposal or how much until next week. So, that’s good news but I still have to wait [...]

Another All-nighter

I pulled another all-nighter to finish up the presentation for my potential European client. This is supposed to be my final presentation before I get a ‘yes’ or ‘no’, so that’s a relief.
I’ve been up all night getting this ready and I get to take a quick 1-hour nap before I get ready and head [...]

Although there is a lot of pressure on me from many directions right now, I realize that sometimes I just have [...]

But, I am so excited because despite everything that is against me right now, I have managed to position ShrinkTheWeb as THE hands-down, most powerful, feature-rich free website thumbnail generator in the [...]

A Relaxing Night And ShrinkTheWeb Progress

I missed posting yesterday but it was another rather uneventful day for those of you that don’t know me. As for me, I had to focus more on personal issues like helping Jojo plan for her birthday party. I suggested Taurus Restaurant but several people complained it was too far away and too expensive. I [...]

Just A Quick Update

I’ve noticed that the meds I’m on and the pain I’m in have been making me sleep more and procrastinate more. So, I haven’t really felt up to posting very often. So, today I’m going to begin making more of an effort to stay on top of things. I guess we’ll see how that goes! [...]

Could It Be? I’m Caught Up!

I believe I am actually caught up on things again. This happens once in a blue moon.
I mean, I still have 6 active web design projects and 4 more pending, but generally speaking; I am caught up. The current projects are on-track and new sales are being handled timely. So, that’s great.
What’s even [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of referrals for web design business lately -which is good for all of my companies. This is because I’ve built several interrelated companies to handle the full web presence scenario from web design to web hosting to web marketing to ROI analysis.
So, some of my other ventures such as LinkSmile [...]
