I’ve made websites for 10 years. Mostly from my home office. It’s literally the only job I’ve ever had. My mother recently asked if I have internet at home.
My friend and frequent partner in crime design, Doug Hughmanick launched his new personal design portfolio earlier this year. I highly recommend you check it out.
Doug did the graphic design and I did the code. The site is run on WordPress, so Doug can add or edit projects and screenshots without a code editor or FTP. And the postMash plugin is used to customize the order of projects with a drag-and-drop interface.
There’s also a “secret” page that displays even more projects. Why the secrecy? Well… That’s a secret.
Tell anybody you’re a sculptor and they’ll say, ‘Oh, how exciting, how wonderful.’
And I tend to say, ‘What’s so wonderful?’
It’s like being a mason, or a carpenter, half the time. But they don’t wish to hear that because they really only imagine the first part, the exciting part.
Too many entrepreneurs stop after they build the product. They think that building products is what makes them an entrepreneur. But entrepreneurship is about building businesses, and the product is just one part of that.
