I've been doing this gig for five years now. Why don't you...
...look at what I did.
Cyber Smoothie Cafe
In the Las Vegas area? Want to try something new? Check out the Cyber Smoothie Cafe.
The owner, Mr. Randy Parker, is a great person all around. Offering many services, from smoothies to great water, to health supplements, this store is everything you expect and more. Back before I started being a full-time freelance designer, I used to take my lunches at the Cyber Smoothie Cafe every day; my personal favorites are the India Smoothie, Arctic Chill, Honeydew Heaven (boba), the Coconut boba, and I love to request chocolate in my Coconut boba (it tastes great!)

Kim
Freelance Designer. Cheesecake afficionado.
While in high school, Kim began to learn this thing called the Internet. She'd worked on it before - she remembers when table-based layouts were the way to go, and when design was a simple thing. Now, she's got years of experience under her belt, and is building a portfolio charged with logos, poster illustration, graphics, and of course, website design. Want great work with thought put in it? Then you want some of Kim's designs.
Sam
Content Slave.
Ever wonder how someone could possibly hold a career doing nothing but writing site content? It certainly takes a very amazing person - and that's our Sam. While we're sure he's fallen asleep a few times trying to plod through the next one thousand words, his writing voice will draw your clients in - and make them want more.

June 2009 Theme
I am very surprised at myself.
And I don't mean in a bad way. I mean as in - wow, I can't believe it's a redesign!
As you can see, the comment form is back to where it was before. Provided it's not abused by spammers again, it should hopefully stay as it is. If spammers do choose to abuse it as much as they possibly can, expect a much stricter captcha to be put into it. Oh, and yes, I'm aware that it disappears after you submit it; that's to prevent you from re-submitting it. No, really, it is!
There are a lot more small tweaks to this theme than meets the eye. The older one was a bit more static; it worked pretty well, but I mostly wanted to do a few things with this design that I hadn't done before.
I also got rid of my "resources" page. Really, this page was born from people wanting to do link exchanges with me - the problem, however, is why should I link to designers who offer bargain discounts for sub-par designs? I want my clients to see me, and get the kinds of designs they deserve.
You might also see that I chose to do the headlines in a serif font. Now, I could have done the entire site in a serif font, as opposed to making my paragraphs sans-serif, but I know that I'm pretty long-winded in my blog posts. Even with the adjustments to kerning (letter spacing) and line-height [ read more ]
