I'm finally starting to feel useful and good at something. I finally finished the last web design project I was working on. It's
here if you want to check it out. She's really happy with it and has been blogging about it around the interwebs. From that I've got one person interested in my web design services. She's asked for a quote and I think I gave her a pretty good deal considering how much others are charging for web design. Also I don't want to break her wallet. She's an indie author and I'm pretty sure they don't make a lot of money. Yea, I'm nice like that. If it were a company I would definitely charge more.
I'm delving into the world of blog design because that seems to be the future of websites right now. I've been researching how much good designers get paid for wordpress websites...anywhere between $2000 to $10000! PER PROJECT! So yea, I think that's what I want to try to specialize in.
I've been bidding on projects on online job boards. It took a while but I finally got one to bite. It was a simple job that didn't have much to do with coding or design. But that's good because I wasn't getting any projects before because I hadn't won any. Once I finish this one she will give me a review and hopefully that will get more people to take a chance with me. There are a lot of foreigners on that site so I should have the advantage of working from the states.
I'm starting on a new project. I'm redesigning
this website. I've already sent her my ideas for the front page and she almost hyperventilated through email she liked it so much, don't know if that's possible but she did. It made me feel good. YAY!!
I start school in March, so I'm excited about that. I was able to transfer 34 credits from three rivers, so that cuts down almost 3 semesters. AND because I'm a military wife I get the military discount until he gets out. So for 2 semesters I only pay 1/2 the tuition.
Nothing else really has been happening in my life besides that. It's probably pretty boring for everyone else but I love it!
