Is this your website? A desert

I am going to start this monologue with a question. Why do you want a website?

A lot of my clients contact me requesting a website. Not too weird, I guess, I do call myself a web designer. However, when I in turn ask my clients why they want a web site, they often give me answers like “because everyone else has one” and “because we need one”.

Currently not accepting work

by selbekk

Since the beginning of 2011, I have slowly been cutting back on the number of projects I have been working on. It was interfering too much with my studies. From today, I am no longer accepting any new offerings until this summer.

This is a very hard decision for me to make. All my clients know me as customer centric and glad to help out with whatever new project they are having in mind. However, for a time now, I have been rejecting offers or sending them to colleagues of me. Please send me a mail if you need good advice about where to turn – I am more than willing to refer you to trusted partners and colleagues of me.

If you are currently having a web hosting service deal with Sweetwater, please note that this will not be affected by this hiatus. I will simply not make any new web sites for the time being.
