Everyone wants a professional looking website that works, but there are only a few designers that pass the mark. After looking around a few website’s that free-lance designers have coded for sites based in Preston, I have come to the conclusion that people fail to meet the ever increasing standards of modern websites.

What I intend to do, is work with the client right from the start, from conception of design, to implementation of features, to publishing and maintenance. I plan to offer a whole range of website packages from single-page info-sites, to dynamic-content based management systems, while using a whole range of web-design skills.

Obviously, this will mean investing in some new servers. I will more than likely use old-faithful Linode as they are a VPS provider I can trust. I am hoping to have just a dedicated webserver just for customers, which I can also move my sites over to, while making my existing webserver a dedicated services server, providing things such as MySQL and Billing.

This is just in the planning stage at the moment, and the idea’s are sketchy. As time progresses I plan to enforce these idea’s in a solid structure, and bring around a proper business plan.

Coding Crazy

Have you ever been so deep in code that you don’t actually know what’s going on around you? I’ve been working on a couple of PHP projects, and I’ve been so deep in code, I take a look at something perfectly normal, and all you can see is variables, functions and classes.

Some of the PHP stuff I’ve been working on (tidying up and increasing efficiency) is way past my level of coding, like customised PHP sockets and timers. I understand PHP enough to work on a simple website, but I like building PHP scripts which get executed in a command line. Like coding the file, hard coding the input variables, running the script, and jumping for joy when it executes how I want it to!

The biggest downfall I have, is coding HTML/CSS. I cannot design for shit! Nothing I actually design looks good! It works (to a certain extent), but looks like something you put your foot in while walking through a field of cow burgers!

I really do need to work on design, but if I can find a decent enough template, I can work around that, and make it work the way I want it to.
