March 11, 201313 yr Hey everyone, I'm Dave and I'm a web designer. I've been designing for almost 16 years now and have currently been self-employed for the last 15 months. I've come here to mix with similar-minded people as I don't get much interaction with people sharing the same love of design being a freelancer. I hope you can all put up with my ramblings
March 13, 201313 yr Welcome from a fellow rambler. Fortunately there's always some patient people to set us straight in the most friendly manner here.
March 13, 201313 yr Welcome from a fellow rambler. Fortunately there's always some patient people to set us straight in the most friendly manner here. I hope so because I have some nut jobs for clients! I was actually asked to make a design more "fragrant" yesterday, days like that I wish I could play football using their heads.
March 14, 201313 yr 16 Years, oh my god, can you give your portfolio, because i would love to see your 16 years development in skills.
March 14, 201313 yr I hope so because I have some nut jobs for clients! I was actually asked to make a design more "fragrant" yesterday, days like that I wish I could play football using their heads. Surely that's something a web designer/developer can do standing on their head, right? Making a design more fragrant was what I learnt on the second day of unicorn school. That and magic.
March 14, 201313 yr 16 years, wow! I can't wait to hear some stories, I'm sure you've got a lot to tell Welcome to the forum, Dave!
March 14, 201313 yr 16 years, wow! I can't wait to hear some stories, I'm sure you've got a lot to tell Welcome to the forum, Dave! Same! Welcome Dave
March 14, 201313 yr Welcome Dave ... I know the feeling mate, 10 year self-employed and they expect us to be sane? You gotta love clients; "fragrant" is a new one on me ... there was one client who was insistent it was to be coded in 'Apple'; oh and the one who wanted it 'classy' with 'fluttering flags' lol.
March 14, 201313 yr Luckily I haven't had that many colourful clients, NoClass. Just the usual "that's great, but instead of having our logo a shark, we now want a tractor" or some other drastic change where the solution would revolve around 'just pressing a button to correct it' . The best one, though no where on par as fragrant or coded in in Apple, was "Love it. Not keen on the wording though. Quite a few spelling mistakes and it doesn't say much about our business". As written by the client.
March 15, 201313 yr Welcome Dave, 16 years exp. is great. I think u could show us yr Tuts about web or mobile design. That'll be interesting
March 15, 201313 yr Thanks for the warm welcome guys, you have all reminded me to update my portfolio, once that has been done I'll let everyone know
March 18, 201313 yr Welcome Dave, wow 16 years in web design!! hope we will learn from you a lot. I mainly specialize in design so I'm more than happy to help out with that
