web design: Rapid Response: Do Early Birds Get More Worms? - 12/01/09 08:28 AM
I'm always trying to learn about what works in my own industry. Because I have connections to this industry, I try to combine my research so I have something to write about here.
Response time.  How quickly do you get back to potential customers/clients?  Do you have a published target? e.g,. When someone calls/emails someone will respond in x minutes.
Some think quick follow-up is pestering. I don't agree. My feeling is that there are few things more important.

web design: Fine and then one day poof, my website was a mess - 07/23/08 07:00 AM

web design: What Is Needed To Build a Good Website Proposal? - 04/08/08 07:03 AM
Someone recently asked what does it take to write a good website proposal?  They didn't tell what the site was, what it would do, if it already existed, ...  all they had was a maximum budget.
