General Discussion

Earn some money making websites with me.

Hey guys, I don't usually solicit, but I realize that Treehouse is full of talented, excited, and motivated folks who like making websites.

I've been coding for about 4.5 years, and I always seemed to find it frustrating at times, because I didn't know many of the fundamentals. But then, Treehouse stepped in.

I Love Treehouse

Treehouse seems to do a great job making code and design fun and engaging. :)

I've actually been with treehouse for about 6 months now, and it has seriously helped me to unlearn a bunch of terrible practices that I picked up back when we had to create templates with tables, etc. (HTML 4.01 standards).

But now that I have learned HTML5 and CSS3, I am 1000% more excited to go out and make websites than ever before. I never realized that making and designing a website could seriously -- only take hours not days. That is amazing to me.

In the past, I used to create a single, simple website (with tons of bugs) in several weeks and sometimes months.

I run my own business

I have my own business making websites for entrepreneurs. I have had it for about 1.5 years so far.

Since I have been in this business by myself for this entire time, my project scope sizes are always pretty small. However, I would love to start tackling larger projects, because they are more lucrative and more exciting to implement.

I need some help making larger, more complicated websites for new clients. I can find the clients, I have no problem with that.

What I really have very little capacity for is how much time I can spend on each project. I work full-time (40hrs/week) in addition to learning through Treehouse, cold-calling potential clients, creating graphic design, blogging, social media, ads and running the code side of my websites.

Why You Are Reading This

I just need one or two knowledgeable, capable, motivated, and helpful people to help team-design websites.

I think, that with a good workflow, we should be able to output alpha and maybe beta code and design for simple websites in just a few hours. On simple projects, over the course of a few more days, we can visit and revisit the code and tweak it to be pixel perfect, and to add awesome and/or impressive functionality. Each simple project would take about 1 week to deliver to the client.

Total work time for a simple project would be around 5 or 6 hours.

If our working relationship is good, perhaps sometime in the future we could visit the idea of "incorporating" an s-corp tax model LLC together.

As for pay -- I pay well, by the project. If you are interested, I can also teach certain extremely valuable skills like:

  • How to write a great blogpost
  • How to approach businesses and busy people
  • How to use social media like Facebook and Twitter to promote your websites.
  • On-page and Off-page SEO
  • How to think like an entrepreneur
  • How to sell anything

As well as, I'm sure, some other things that I am good at doing that I did not mention above.
