It takes one designer... no it doesn't. it takes a design team, just as it takes an engineering team.

I don't think you understand. By your logic, everything should be equally priced based on its constituent parts, totally ignoring availability, desirability, demand and countless other factors. Are you seriously saying that if you owned the

what you say is probably true, but setting the tone of a company starts at the top. If a certain culture has filtered its way through the company then of course that will not change overnight with a new boss, but that's where it would start

that's €10 million revenue per month, right?

I haven't thought much about the concept, so I won't comment on that. Regarding the design, it doesn't really say 'dinner party' to me. A good way to start is to look at google images for 'dinner party' http://www.google.de/search?q=dinner

I think the tag line on the home page is misleading: discover rockstar creative talent I spent about 4 minutes browsing and only saw below average portfolios. If you want a service like this to take off then you need to be absolutely ru

more to the point, why would you change a logo where brand recognition is part of the product! (i.e. I know customers on my site will recognise this icon as a trusted mark that it is secure)

This looks really cool, love it when people experiment with UI. It's hard to judge from a video vs actually using it. The only issue I have is that I felt a bit lost a few levels in. It would be nice to have some reference of how deep you a

I'm pretty sure when Steve Jobs showed his Market Share pie chart at 19% that was merely a progress bar too ;)

Not only does it indicate how close I am to completion, but also which categories I have completed. Additionally its pie shape makes it easier to use in this setting (where a horizontal chart would be too big) http://www.mint.com/blog/wp-c

what's worse is that the "discoverers" in your equation could just as easily be the humans... let's hope we've learnt from our history.

I adopted that policy for myself. Being a freelancer, every April/May I head to the spanish south coast and work from there. Somehow I manage to accrue more hours than a normal month, but I'm pretty sure I hit the beach most days at 3pm (wi

These are things that have worked for me on a tiny budget / evenings+weekend projects. 1. Depending on resources you have, target a niche where those resources will have an impact (focus in on blocks of 5% to 10% of your demographic) - face

by ed209 15y ago
I totally agree. Going niche is also much easier if you have less resources. It makes targeting your potential customers much easier. Find a niche and find how you can optimise any existing services for that niche. You can always expand bey

It depends on what type of design you're talking about. Some design disciplines are "make it look good" and some are "make it work good" or "make it read good". Design is too broad a word to use in this context.

I tried it for a week and enjoyed it, but I needed to split the time with sitting too. On the hunt for an electric height adjustable as my current setup is not practical! https://plus.google.com/109940267018696224506/posts/B144cQj7...

great! If you know of any regular meetups, I'd be interested to hear.

That's kind of a big claim based on your problems with "the process for receiving payments on a website". Although I don't disagree that the UK startup scene is fragmented and less of a force than it should be, I don't think the fault lies

as a single founder (non-tech to boot!) I'd love to see that - but why limit yourself to a sub-batch of entrepreneurs? Why not just be a single-founder friendly incubator? There are benefits to targeting a niche, common problems through the

The number one reason why I'm not getting considered for positions in the US is because I have to get a visa. I don't think I would have any problems qualifying, but the hassle for the employer seems too much. That's what they need to chang
