I was hoping someone could help. We need to send out over two thousand emails from a mailing list. However each email has a different code in the content. I have been asked to find out how to do this without sending it over two thousand times individually. Is there any software out there that...

I have not really used Illustrator before due to the fact that i haven’t ever needed too, however I have to complete something fairly quickly using illustrator and i am a little stumped. I have been sent some illustrated artwork that i need to make a banner from. When i first opened the artwork...

Thanks Guys I will offer hosting (but i would much prefer them to purchase their own domain names during the early stages). I offer an annual maintenance service which would include updating and keeping the website modern and clan. There will be a service for “Rush Jobs” where i work out of...

I have just started going self employed and have been advertising, and have had some interest. However it appears that whatever i quote them seems to be too much. My price range is roughly: 1 – 3 Page Website £150 - £250 (GBP) 3 – 10 Page Website £350 - £550 (GBP) Websites...

I have been doing both front end design and development for over ten years and since starting going self employed i have noticed a lot of web designers offering SEO. As far as i go with SEO is writing code that validates and focus on good page layout. I don’t offer an SEO rate because i don’t...

Another thing I do is when allowing the client to preview the page instead of using “index” I will title the page “TestPage_EmmaDesigns” and upload it as that until they have paid. On the index page I upload my logo and link back to my website as a holding page. So if the client sods off they...

Get a Smart Car and plaster your logo and web address all over it and take it for a drive. It’s about all they are useful for after all. :icon_smile:

I think its the cost more then anything. I do plan on getting a business account once the clients are rolling in a little more. I have seen HSBC do a business card for the first 18 months free, well a few of them do.

I am having a bit of a problem. I have a first possible client but i am still in the process of setting myself up. I have just set up my PayPal account and i did so as a business account (so my clients can make payment even if they don’t have paypal), and under my business name. However as i...

I am in the process of setting up for the first time and i agree a 50% deposit is a good idea. Maybe its a good idea not to give them the whole product until they have paid (for example watermarks on the design work and don’t allow them access to websites). Just saves them making a run for it...

Thank You! It defiantly looks like a good starting point. I email their support last night and they are very quick at responding. I am in the process of finishing my business website and then i will start advertising. :icon_cheers: I just have one last question. I have just found out today...

Vidahost looks like a good starting point. Although 25 accounts is low it give me space to get started rather then pay for unlimited before the wheels are turning.

Thank you for your replies. Its always so tricky when your starting on your own for the first time. I don’t think ill offer domain names just yet but I am a little stuck as to what to to in terms of hosting. I would like to offer hosting via reseller hosting but its a lot of money to spend...

I need some advice with regards to fancybox on wordpress. I am relatively new to wordpress as i have always preferred to hand code my own sites from scratch which is why i am struggling with this particular issue. I am using fancybox on wordpress and i need to know how to amend the popup for...

I want to be flexible but not loose money :icon_smile: Ideally i would like to say to a client that I would sort out the domain and hosting for them but i am not sure how that gets paid for. Do they pay me monthly or yearly? Or is it a one off payment from them and i continue paying for the...
