Boston Web Studio Update & The Build Guild – Posted: Jul 7, 04:05 PM – Filed under: Business Personal
It’s been a little more than two months since I left my job and started working for myself and if the lack of writing here isn’t a sign of my free time gone out the window, I don’t know what is. It’s been great, though, really… really really. I lined up work with a handful of companies; my last employer, Digital Bungalow, kept me busy for the first month; I earned some retainer work from Mass High Tech and recently launched their Women to Watch mini-site; a couple of friends in the industry were kind enough to hire me for some xhtml/css work they couldn’t fit into their schedules; there are a couple of new opportunities that will flush themselves out over the next couple of weeks… I’m a fortunate person, undoubtedly.

Receiving Unique Payments with PayPal – Posted: Apr 11, 06:44 AM – Filed under: Business Clients
My small design and development gig, Boston Web Studio, has been creating websites for small-business owners since January, 2005. In the three years that have passed, I’ve never once been asked if I can take a credit card for payment on an invoice I’ve sent to a client. It has always been a check or cash transaction and I’ve given little thought to receiving any other form of payment. Last month, however, three separate clients asked me whether or not I could take a credit card. I had to answer “No,” but I told each of them that I would make it possible, and soon.

Boston Web Studio Business Cards – Posted: Mar 28, 06:07 PM – Filed under: Business
Just a quick post; I recently designed a new business card to replace the old stodgy version I had been using since 2005. While I’m not a good designer, and considering that these cost only $20.00 USD for 100 of them, I’m quite happy with the results.
