Starting Web Designing Agency with Treehouse learners

Hi guys and girls,

As title said, starting the Web design and programming agency is idea that I have on my mind.

Think that treehouse have really skilled and talented learners, so this is the problably good place to set up new startup company.

First what we need is to form the crew. The services that we focus on is design, programming , and internet marketing.

  1. For design (logo design, print design..) 2.Programming (most popular is online shop development) 3.Internet marketing (seo, adwords, social networks)

What do you think about this idea?

Lol. I think treehouse earns enough money as an educational platform.. & I am pretty sure they have had this idea.. the things is that the instructors (i could be wrong) are not fully employed by the treehouse, they just make videos for them & Have other full time jobs

I think that you miss the point. This is not about employed instructors. This is about us. The people who use this platform, who is intrested in web design and programming.

The goal is us to form our own crew, and use learned skills to start a business.

Hi Pavle,

I think you have an excellent idea. It would be an excellent way to help improve develop new skills. There are loads of students that have skills that together would make a very skilled team.

Hi Wayne,

Yes there is a really BIG potencial here in teamtreehouse. It would be really great to form a crew (strating with designers, developers, marketers, content writters).

This is kind of startup, little web design agency on market, looking for client to do some kind of services.

For the start we need form the crew to set roles. Make a plan , create company website, gather some money for ads , or find investor for startup. We can do services on demand or create some digital products that will generate some revenue.

For now i will create application form.

This is largely why I enrolled in a bootcamp, frankly. To be working hard, day in and day out, with a select team of avid learners and solution finders hungry to make something great. Let's talk some more, Pavle Lucic.

Pavle, I am very interested in this! I am working towards starting up a business in my local area. Until I can get a good network and customer base going I am looking for freelancing, internship, etc. It really takes a team though. I am leaning towards the development area as it seems to be my knack and also applications. I have limited experience in a "professional" environment but am currently a sophomore studying Computer Science/ IT and am definitely looking for opportunities. Talk more, Luke

Good evening, I love this idea of using the community to establish a team in the web development/design world. Before I submit any information on the Google docs, I was curious to know if there is an age requirement? Secondly, how proficient of a programmer are you looking for? Thirdly, how experienced do I need to be in the realm of selling websites/being in the market?

Thanks in advance.
