Hey web designer and web developer folks!

  • Do you enjoy stressful atmospheres and unreasonably tight deadlines?
  • Do you like to work in poor uncomfortable office facilities with under quoted projects, and computer illiterate co-workers?
  • If you had the choice between getting paid for hard work, and being able to afford food, would you choose neither?
  • Are you willing to work 20 hour days and most weekends to get the job done “as the client sees fit”?
  • Do you like it when a client takes your work and dismantles it into boxes with two colors from your beautiful design?
  • Would you like to spend “more time than needed as required” on a project without pay?
