Nuovo Fatali Design is up and running, I’ve had 8 client since February, and I’m barely advertising. I’m rather impressed with the pace it’s going! considering all I’ve done is tell a few choice people, and then post about it on Facebook.
Working 10-12 hour days during the week makes it difficult to come home and do coding at night sometimes, but I make it happen somehow. I have a promotion coming in July that will secure my permanent status at my company, improve my pay, get me an office, and otherwise allow me to slow down a bit to share my nights with my side business. And I’ve been chronically undatable since my last man’s bag of tricks, so my evenings have been free for nearly 6 months, thus enabling this business to really come into fruition. Despite working so much, I truly have been fitting it all in. It’s a wonder what retreating to a house and only coming out for parties can do to one’s productivity!
My very first client from February–who is paying me in a free Korean Martial Arts class or two–seems very pleased with the site. I even used a webhoster template for one segment of the site, which is something I just never do. The quality was good, so that experience persuaded me to try one of these WordPress ready-to-go, widget-able, embeddable journals. I have to say, so far I’m impressed with the ratio of usability to customization. Usually one is sacrificed for the sake of the other.
