RevolutionWebDev UPDATE
Fresh out the Box - 11 months ago - admin
After a few months earlier this year on hiatus, things finally started falling back in place a few months ago and I am excited that the projects we are working on have meaning and purpose and are driven by some of the most politically passionate people I have ever met. Absolutely exhilarating!
Retake Congress UPDATE
Fresh out the Box - 11 months ago - admin
Over the last few months I have worked on the RetakeCongress campaign. I designed the logo that will be used with all branding, as well as some swag to be used in the political campaigns by the candidates.
The latest version of RetakeCongress.com with the skin I worked on has been officially published!
WordCampNYC 2009 Logo Contest
Fresh out the Box / Talking Smack - 11 months ago - admin
My logo, along with 3 others were chosen as the winners for the WordCampNYC 2009 logo design competition. We were chosen because our designs were very similarly designed with the NYC SUBWAY as inspiration for the designs. Clearly when we thought about NYC the subway was what came to mind immediately.
I entered the contest because I have published so many WP projects and wanted to give back to the community.
Of the 4 designs I submitted, this was the fan favorite:

Is it November yet? I can’t wait!

“HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?”
Need Help? - 1 year ago - admin
Everyone wants to know right off the jump how much its going to cost. Until you figure out PURPOSE, PAGES, FEATURES and ELEMENTS we can’t come up with a realistic budget that will balance the actual cost of production with what features you want.
Remember that you are employing a service which you expect will exceed your expectations. By allocating the proper capital and having it ready to invest you are ensuring there will be no hiccups in launching the site. Your time is too precious to waste doing the tango.
Perhaps a solution if you don’t have the money right now to invest in a website, is to work with your current budget and create a first version with the basic functions you require, then as business permits we can add new features.
Many people who want a website built underestimate the cost because they don’t realize that alot of stuff goes on during research and development stages that can be both tedious and time-consuming but are hard to quantify.
Another thing to think about is that even-though you will always get my personal touch, if I have to think for you (for example, actually write from scratch about your services and company) that is going to increase the budget because writing content takes time and thought, and time costs money. However, if you give me the content and are only looking for me to do basic proofing and editing, it isn’t costing anything because I do it anyway when coding the content. The same principle more or less applies to every type of element that will make up your site.
I can’t speak for my competition, but I win nothing by trying to cheat my clients. I have learned that even the most demanding projects and companies will eventually come to a close. By striving to do an outstanding job every time I am guaranteed to get good critique of my work and great referrals.
During our consultation we can discuss and brainstorm solutions to fit your budget so that the end-result is clean, professional and easy to enjoy.
