I enjoy designing websites and have been doing so for the last 7 years. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s best for me and the business if we only take on jobs that we find interesting.

There is just way too much time involved in designing a website and dealing with clients.

At this time I feel like there are two ways we could go with the business.

1. Streamline the business and figure out the fastest and easiest way to design websites. Use an assembly line approach and try to put out as many web designs per day as possible.

2. Become the elite in the web design business and build a name that we can proudly stand behind. Only take on clients that are serious about building a web presence.

Believe it or not I’ve spent a good bit of time considering the direction I want to go. While I am sure there is more money in the first choose, I enjoy what I do way too much to build an assembly line approach to what has become an art to me.

I enjoy playing with web designs and figuring out how to create them in such a way that they are able to both drive traffic and convert traffic. At this time in my life I am unwilling to trade money for what has become an art to me.

And it’s for this reason that we will be turning down more web design jobs then we will be taking from this moment forward.

I personally feel that this is in the best interest of me, Geeks on Steroids and my clients.

I thought this was a pretty good article and it points to some pretty good SEO tactics.

What I Got Out Of It

1. Building a network of sites, each being built and handled as a real business and separate from one another allows you to pull a real link punch when the time is needed.

2. Content is King and having a number of people writing articles that target different keywords allows you to drive traffic to a site daily.

3. Good content will get incoming links on its own.
