First off, things happen for a reason; they just do. Accept it. You know what I’m talking about, when you think you’ve got something thats worth showing off to the world, or maybe just your friends (or dog for that matter), and you realize that the whole time that you believed in yourself that it made no sense whatsoever? Okay, I’ll give you a second to comprehend what I just said. This has happened to me, for the first time in my life.
I used to run a website entitled Dev-News. It was more of a “business” approach to something that never came through. Like everyone else out there, you offer someone some help, or a service for that matter; my case being web design. They say “Wow! You’re pretty good at this!”, so your agree (only because you know it’s true), and now they want your services. There’s only one problem. You are a hidden face behind an email address, website, and browser. You have no official license to sell your services, and you don’t even think of taxes. What’s my point?
Assurance.
Your soon to be client (you hope) has absolutly no assurance that you are who you say you are. Then you have the local news saying that your email is unsafe and don’t you even dare open those attachments. They are right, email is unsafe. So is Internet Explorer, but look how many people still use it, and look at how many people didn’t know there are other browsers out there. There is no help for the people out there that just want to give the helping hand of service. So what do you do at times like these?
Assure Yourself
This is where you have to step in and make your stance in what you believe is best for yourself. You either keep pushing what you believe in, start over with something new, or just give up all together. I decided to do the first two. Before making my choice, I did some in-depth thinking, and came to a well, thought-out conclusion, making me feel like I had made the right choice.
Dev-News is no more.
And there you have it. I will still keep pushing for web design sevices by offering my services here at DeckerD and I am creating something new; a new beginning. A personal, business website. I write what I feel, and from the work presented to you as a future client, you can be assured that my work is real, and the way I do business is real.
With all this said and done, DeckerD has had a redesign, in which I took one day to re-code and rethink what I wanted to do. It’s been done, and I’ve very pleased with the outcome. As time permits, so will the content on the site; I will get to the things as priority takes its place. It is my personal place on the web, but also a place full of knowledge that I like to share. If you see something you like, use it; don’t steal please. If you find my services are worth your time and money, contact me and we’ll talk.
With a little patience, and a little thought, we all can come to conclusions. Let’s just hope they turn out to be good ones.
Discussion always soothes thy heart.
