Rick - Do you offer any custom dynamic work at this time?

LOL Very smooth segway  

so I know... but really... you're offended that people might not hold the same views as you? or that someone would be happy with the freedom to be able to express their political views?  

Ed:  I don't know any Flash or Bang (which, I'll guess "custom dynamic work" falls under).  You'll see a good representation of my design skills at http://www.werentcolumbus.com and http://www.catholicrecordsociety.org

All:  The avitar stays...until I find a good crucifix to replace it with
No, I won't use this sort of thing in my business...there's too many people out there who use them to deceive.

All:  The most important part is what you get for your money.  I think there's a market for "Pleasing and Successful but Simple and Cheap" websites.

My main target is small businesses around me that have urls in the Yellow Pages to sites that are down or in shambles.  There's lots of them. My "spiel" will include some education: A successful website is like having a part-time employee.

I'm working on "features" for $25 and $50 website packages.

The bottom line: I'm just a guy who tried something - and realized unimaginable success from it.  I think I can offer this to others for $25-$50 per month.

I won't go on and on with a spiel here...I'm working on that for the site.

Thanks for piping in, all!

Rick.

My customers will be ones who do not need extensive or frequent editing.  

I spend no more than a few minutes a week maintaining http://www.werentcolumbus.com.

But I also know well that I have much to learn.  

I'm not a salesman and I don't need the money.  I'm just saying "I've been thrilled to death with the success of my sites.  If you like what you see and want something like it for yourself, I'll do it cheap"

Yep.  I've already got a customer who wants me to "fix" his site: http://www.qualityapartmentsigns.com.  In this case it will be a one time fee and he will mostly "maintain" it himself with minimal updates like sales, new signs he's made, etc...

In his case he's got a double problem.  He's high on the list of Google signage searchers, but when someone sees his site, they see a cheezy site...might make some of them think he does cheezy work.

There's alot of people like him out there who bought software (FP in his case), got the basics down, but don't have the time to learn to get it right.

Those are #1 on my target list.
