Breaking Ground

Its official - I have a new site in the works for a local restaurant. The project will consist of a new design fro their website, setting them up with a email application, and more. I'm excited. It's a place I have enjoyed going to for dinner several times. It fits my bill of privately owned, small, local business. Yippy!

Yesterday, I was in Baltimore, MD, for a retailer summit meeting for the comic book industry. I went to a presentation on building bigger better websites for retailers. A lot of time was spent discussing how to make sure you get what you pay for and don't get screwed out of what is yours. I couldn't believe how much was said. I was in a room of retailers looking to build websites - probably only 1 of 3 or 4 designers in the room. The whole talk made me kind of sad.
These people are in need of something that not everyone can do but have their guard up because of some bad stories.
I don't like fine print. I know it's their to cover somebodies behind. It just always seems kind of dirty to me. Give people hard honest work and you will get a lot farther in life then trying to be deceitful. Or maybe you can make millions lying, but I know which would let me sleep soundly at night.
