Link, look no further. I'm your man to design, set up, run, troubleshoot, enhance, etc. your website. If you don't believe it type in the following into your Google search engine:
hire precision artist,
and
hire technical illustrators
The site that comes up ON TOP, aside from the bought sites, Precision Technical Illustrators, Inc. is ME. And I do web design on a consulting basis all over the place.
The important point for you to notice is that my web site comes up on PAGE ONE of a Google search. Not only that, but it comes up NUMBER ONE on PAGE ONE of a Google search. That ain't luck, my friend, that's called knowing what the heck you're doing. And remember, if you can do it for real, it ain't braggin'. So believe the evidence of your startled orbs and gimme a ring.
As to your other questions. No. I find that most people who go around telling their workmates what great christians they are, and who have "Jesus Saves" as their screen saver are the first to stab you right between the low ribs. The most important thing still is to find someone who wants to work doing what you want done for a fair salary.
AT&T had a study done once about the performance of their new hires. They just weren't up to snuff. But the came only from the top 10% of the graduating classes of the top 10% of business schools in the country. Still, their performance was lack luster.
When the study was over, the old fella who did it for them, good ol country boy, had a meeting with the grande frommages at AT&T and said "you're hiring the wrong people. You're hiring good looking resumes who expect the world, when you SHOULD be hiring good solid C+ or better students from average, second tier universities who have a burning desire to work for AT&T.
So AT&T forgot about the ivy league and started hiring solid students with a C+ GPA or better from second tier universities who were burning with desire to work for AT&T. Problem solved.
And I don't have the slightest idea of what the point was that I was trying to make, but there was one I can assure you. I think it might have been something along the lines of "hire me to create your web site on a contract basis and I'll get you on page one of normal Google searches for your type of site business or my name ain't francois."
You don't want to pay a full-time employee to sit around drinking coffee and making you a web site that costs you $50,000 worth of his wages and bennies, plus the software and god knows what all and a year later your site shows up on page 52 of a google search and it never produces sweat for bidness 'cause no one hardly ever looks past page one when they're doing a bidness search. So what good is that $50K investment doing you? $0.00. Zat watcha want? Don't hire them guys what can make a beautiful site with flash movies and effects by Industrial Light and Magic with THX sound and all that. You want me what can get you on page one each and every time and make your product SELL, SELL, SELL.. That's the point of the AT&T story.
I'm standing by to do bidness with you sir. Give me thirty mintues to get to the store for the little woman and back and give me a call so we can discuss it?
