As others have said, you can get an impressive logo off elance or something similar for around $50.

It probably only bothers me, but I would get rid of the footer "Designed by WordPress themes, thanks to: WordPress mobile themes, Fosterage and Free auto WordPress themes"

Just placed an order for a grenade Receipt No ending in 6687

There was another post about someone using the 7878 method with web design. He was sending out site mock ups in the mail. Would I run into any legal problems by mailing mockups to companies with the written content from their crappy sites? I could see an occasional asshole getting mad that I...

My brother recently asked me to review his company's advertising budget. They currently spend $1600 a month with YP because they have been using them since 80s and never tried anything else. He is being charged an outrageous amount for some of their services ($200 a month just for hosting a...

I have made a few WP sites for myself and a couple of clients. In these situations, I started with the domain and was immediately able to direct it to my nameservers. I have a couple of job coming up, but the clients want a preview of the finished site before changing the nameservers. I have a...

I just got the reseller hosting at 50% off with the code. I wish I could kiss you.

This is a great idea that I never considered. I am offering free hosting for a year, then paid after that, so it should be an easy transition. Thank you for the advice. I think I will be going with the reseller plan. These are small business wordpress sites with little traffic, so VPS is...

Thank you for the advice. After thinking about how much time in my day this is wasting, it doesn't really make sense to do it for less than 50%, even if it is friends and family. It is pretty clear why all those sell your stuff of eBay stores closed so quickly. I try to encourage people to...

I have been selling and shipping on ebay for friends and family for the past few months. At first I didn't mind, but now it is getting a bit frustrating. The listing doesn't take much time, but packing and shipping is a pain in the ass. UPS picks up from my office, so at least I don't have to...

Jazzc, that is exactly what I was looking for. I feel a bit stupid for not discovering that myself. Thank you!

I have been building some wordpress sites for friends and family lately. They have refereed me to some actual business so I am trying to make the switch from web hosting with hostgator over to their VPS hosting. I only have one domain that I want to transfer to VPS, then I want to start putting...

Thank you wasted for this great idea. I am working on putting this into effect in the next couple of days. Some people are talking about ideas for add ons. Here are a few I am thinking about including: Logo design (You can easily outsource and mark up for the client.) On site photography (I have...

I have been making wordpress sites for some friends and family members. I just host their sites for them on my hostgator account. They are starting to refer me to other people for web design, and I am trying to figure out how to handle e-mail accounts for future clients if I am providing the...

Thank you for the report. I am coming up on my second month on the 2nd, and I am trying to decide if I should stick with it. I gave him a site that did not have any SEO work done to it, so it would be easy to see results. Googling does not show any kind of links built. I know it has only been a...
