The more we work in this industry the more we realize that some very common problems are shared by a lot of companies.

A lot of people have been burned.

To quote a favorite movie “Every time you screw up, it makes us look like rockstars baby” (bad boys 2…hey I like it).

And its true…

Every bad site that gets produced makes our good sites look even better.

Some say that bad web companies hurt the industry, contributing to higher prices and lower standards. While that may be true, we look at it as job security. There are so many companies who have a website but the company, or the dude in his basement that built it for them didn’t put it together correctly at all and it isn’t making them any money.

Isn’t that what business is about? Well not entirely, but thats a good bit of it. We have expenses, you have expenses and we all need to pay them with a little leftover for some fun on the weekends. So its with regret and, paradoxically with joy, that I am writing this in the hopes that you are recovered enough from your full body web burn and are ready to fix your site.

I am here to tell you that it isn’t hard (its not easy but you get what I mean), we can most likely do it within your budget (yes you should have a budget for a website), and its not going to take 6 months. We try to have our sites done in 30 to 60 days depending on how long it takes to communicate back and forth.

So please, feel free to at least talk with us, let us know what you think! If you have been burned then tell us about it. Leave a comment below. Maybe we can help and maybe we can’t but its still worth a try. Who knows, maybe we’ll get some interesting stories out of this and we can all have a good laugh.

For now, we’ll just keep doing what we do and hopefully people will catch on to the fact that quality products are still offered in the industry of web design and development.

All right fellow designers, developers, and anyone who likes to watch 2 skinny, geeky kids duke it out over the design and code of their websites; get ready for the XHTML Challenge!

The Idea is to pit two sites against each-other in an all out coded duel to see who reigns supreme over the fiber optic lines of the world. The sites are compared, judged on their code, then the public votes to choose the best of the two. Its an all out brawl ya’ll. I love the idea of having websites compete, the winner picked because of quality. Design AND code is taken into consideration. Its like going to buy a home and always taking a bunch of really good builders with you so you can see exactly how well the home was built. I think in today’s world anything which helps us to reward good, efficient and well thought work needs as much support as we can give. So check it out and maybe vote on a few sites you really like. Do your good deed for the day and reward someone’s hard work.
