I’m writing a business plan for my class, it’s about an web design company, and I’m stuck at the financial plan section. How do you get information such as utility expense, miscellaneous expense, maintenance expense, advertising expense, salary expense, etc, things you include in the financial plan. Do anybody have any numbers or resources to get those data

Find some local web design companies and call them up. Tell them that this is a project for a class, and you just want some general information about the expenses in being a web designer. Most that I know of would be happy to share this for a reason like this.

I started 6 years ago, with only the ability to sing (from childhood). From my LOVE of good music, I decided I wanted to dj. After conquering that, I realized that my LOVE for music was greater than just dee-jaying, I wanted to create GREAT music! After the shocking news that I would have to pay to learn, I decided I am going to conquer this with or without help. So, i had sleepless nights, juggling work and school, I finally figured out what I needed at the time.
With no schooling and determination, I not only learned production, I learned ALL of the ins and outs to recording, mixing and mastering. I’ve also learned graphic and webdesign on my own time. I have grasped alot without formal education in these areas, and 2 years of Telecommunications training from DeVry (totally not what i do today). I have incorporated all of this into one business D-lux Entertainment in 3 sections, Music.Media.Design…Need funding info as well as wholesale info and building bigger client base. Thanks

The easiest way to build a client base is advertisement. You can post as many free advertisement initially as possible in websites providing free classifieds. A collection of such websites offering free classifieds is linked to http://www.freewebs.com/freeclassifieds/

I need help with my website design. I’m looking for logos.

do you have a budget? do you know html and how to edit/create graphics?

I’m in California, and would like to stay here. I’ve looked into Graphic Design as a major [but I am a terrible drawer; I just don't know what else would work when you want to be a web designer]. I also considered the local community college’s Comp. Science course, because it has an emphasis on wed development.

I’m open to suggestions, advice, help, ANYTHING. Thank you (:

I’ve considered going into web design. I know HTML, XHTML, and CSS. However, that’s not enough today. Websites are dynamic and you need to know a lot of language. Check out w3schools.com as a reference.

As far as schools go, if you really want a job in web design where you will make any money you’d be better off getting a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. There aren’t really any schools that offer a program for web design (except tech schools that aren’t really worth it because you won’t find a job).

If you are good at math go to school for Computer Science. Otherwise, I would consider thinking about other career options.

Why do you want to get into Web Design? Do you like writing about anything in particular? Maybe majoring in something you’re interested in and play to that strength. You could get hired as a writer for a website later on.

I’m currently in school for web design. I’m proficient with xhtml, css, and flash. I have a client that would like to sell their t shirts online. I have never designed a e-commerce site before. What would be a good route to take when desiging a e-commerce site? I thought about oscommerce and a yahoo merchant account. What should i do?

I would recommend a solution which manages content dynamically. If you apply a theme to a shopping cart that provides this capability, your friend can manage the content and the business while developing web skills over time.

Begin by reviewing several shopping cart packages. Unless you are prepared to learn programming, leave the cart structure to programmers, and select one which:

1. plays to your strengths in site building
2. is easy for your friend to use
3. offers the feature list which can best support the business.

This might well be Magento, but Zen Cart is a good candidate as well. osCommerce may be a bit more time consuming to modify, and likely would not support all the features needed out of the box for this type of business. My background is in PHP/MySQL Open Source – but don’t neglect other technologies.

I want to pay for original custom web design work only – no templates. Moreover, I don’t want to pay more than $25 a month for hosting and maintanance afterwards but I would like the same professional to do this. To be perfectly clear, I would like a serious full time professional with a solid portfolio to do this. I need direct contact and personal attention. I have digital photos and brochures for the designer to draw from.

Note: I build homes, but this does not mean that I would like to be ripped for all I am worth. I had a local studio offer to do this for $12,000 and $300 a month afterwards for hosting and maintenance. I am sure that adding two or three photos every month would not cost this much.

What would a serious professional web designer in Ontario charge for a job like this?

Please no referrals.
How much would the one time fee for the design work be?
Ashley, if I wanted a template I could buy one for $50 and then I would not need a professional to tailor my website. How do you know that deciccohomes.ca is based on a template?

Why not get more quotes? I doubt you hire anyone else with just one quote. The first quote you have looks a little high unless the $300 includes more than just hosting.

Im looking for face to face web design company (e commerce) who can listen and deliver to my web design adult idea. They need to have an office in London.

My budget is £2000

Thanks.

eCommerce site from a London company for that price? Lol, good luck!

We have put together a number of carts for UK sellers, with some carrying 15K items in stock, though we’re in Scotland.

If you don’t have any luck, feel free to give me a shout. I’m sure we could present an attractive offer.

Best of luck!

i use microsoft office publisher 2007 to design my website but the images pictures & background are not visible when i see online. i don’t know anything about webdesign. can any one help me please.

You just need to include both the html file and the image file when you upload it/view it online. When you use Publisher, it doesn’t put the image itself into the file so much as link to the image (it’s not embedded into the file).

Just remember that when you upload your images that they keep the same folder structure as they are on your computer. If you upload them and put them into a folder that is a different name or in a different location (in relation to you html file) they won’t show up. It’s probably best to set up your Publisher file while using image files that are all in the same folder, called something like "images".

Here is a good "how stuff works" page if you want to read about a few of the details:

Good luck.

I am in the process of designing a website, I have the Adobe web bundle with Flash, Photoshop, GoLive and a bunch of other stuff… so I am pretty much capable of a lot. Just wanted to know if anyone knew of any really well designed sites with or without flash. Thanks!

everything on csszengarden.com is super clean and inventive. You can also learn a lot from the different designs on how to use css and HTML.
