Hey HN, I just wanted to post this here and ask for feedback / advice.
My dad is a genius and has been working with SQL Server for almost as long as I've been alive. He recently left his last job and is considering doing consulting, so I built this page for him. I'd love any feedback on the copy or advice for him as he's getting started. I really want to see him succeed in this, and will do anything I can to help.
Thank you!
- cscharenberg 12y agoIt's a nice, clean page. I like it. Can you shrink the header image size? It is 1.4 MB. A high-quality JPG might save a good chunk of that for the same quality and the PNG.
- aarondf 12y agoOh yeah.. That's huge. Let me do that. Thanks!
- toomuchtodo 12y agoImpressive! Have you thought about charging for this as a service?
- aarondf 12y agoI haven't, at all. I assume you mean putting together consulting pages like this? Interesting idea.
- toomuchtodo 12y ago> I assume you mean putting together consulting pages like this? Indeed. I'd be interested, as I don't have time to put one together myself, and am an infrastructure engineer (and have no frontend experience).
- aarondf 12y agoHuh, who knew. Shoot me an email at aaron d francis at (googles email service)
- toomuchtodo 12y agoThanks, I'll have an email off to you tonight. And regarding "Huh, who knew", while I won't go so far as to say "everything has value", if you can create value for someone else, you can charge for it. I'd highly recommend you check out patio11's work on this: http://www.kalzumeus.com/start-here-if-youre-new/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/start-here-if-youre-new/
- gexla 12y agoSure, just charge him an affiliate fee for every lead you send in his direction. You both win! ;)
