Question 1

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

It kind of chose me.  I was working with a women's association and there was a need and I just had this fascination with computers and websites.  So I started learning as much as I could and pretty soon I had women from the association getting me to do their work for them and it grew from there.

Question 2

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

I recently went to Melbourne and caught up with a past client.  She had two web projects she needed doing - one a web rescue (finishing off another designer's work) and the other from scratch.  I knocked over both jobs in two sessions. She was rapt!  Cheapest website job ever!

Question 3

Question 5

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?
