Jason is getting closer and closer to the grand opening of their new business. I'm really excited for him. Sometimes, though, I have this unnerving feeling that agreeing to designing their website, I bit off far more than I can chew. Pessimistic? Possibly. I'm never very confident in my own abilities.On the suggestion of my best friend and computer guru (I swear he speaks their language... all of them) I am using Drupal, and it has saved my life. Dreamweaver is amazing, but this program makes integrating everything I could possibly want to do so much easier. They will have a website, an online store (eventually), forums and a blog. RSS feed so I can keep the environmentalists happy, community calendar, scheduling available online. I'm linking them to Twitter and FaceBook so they can keep a free advertising stream going.
Ready for the question of the day? Is is bad of me to feel that compensation should be part of maintaining their website, once we get going? I'll be doing all of the pictures for their online store, all the visual material (although Cuong's brother Vu did a beautiful job designing their logo), keeping them connected to the internet. Jason making money doing this isn't good enough for me. This has been a lot of research, frustration, high fives and victory dances for me, and seeing as they are just getting started, I figured I would bring it after doing it for about six months. I think I should bring it up to Jason as soon as possible though. Any thoughts?
